Tips on BPM playlists

I’m looking for a decent playlist at 155-160bpm. Whenever I search it I get loads but they are like cover versions or lift music which is really irritating - I just want the actual songs! Is there a way of finding out the bpm of a song and creating my own?

Spotify has a compilation called Runners club 160bpm which I sometimes listen to. It is the original artists not cover versions.

Hi Tigger- I make spotify playlists at different bpm ranges using songs i already like and using this website to calculate the bpm.

beatsperminuteonline.com/ (Just press space in time with the song)

I have tried the spotify running playlists but they're not great.... This method is quite tedious but you only really need 20-ish songs for a 60min run!

Not what you're looking for?
