Wheel of Musical Keys

 

Have you ever wondered which keys are the most popular in recorded music? Here at Pandora, our Music Analysis team has just finished analyzing a batch of 34,324 songs and we thought you might want to know what the dominant tonalities of those are.

Well, it might not come as much of a surprise that the most common key has no sharps or flats, or that the least common keys have lots of accidentals. But we have now verified it with data! It’s what we do.

Very interesting, @CamiloPandora. 🎶

Also, a batch of 34,324?! Wow!

Wow! Makes me wonder what it would sound like to write songs using only the most popular four (maybe five if there's a bridge) keys?
