Does pop music have a fast or slow tempo?

Pop music typically has a fast tempo. While the tempo of pop music can vary depending on the song and artist, most pop songs have a tempo between 80 and 120 beats per minute (BPM). This tempo range is considered to be within the "fast" category of music. Some pop songs may have a tempo that is slower than 80 BPM, but these songs are typically considered to be more of a ballad or a down-tempo song.
