Music that's not between 80 and 116 beats per minute will need to be rewritten and rerecorded.
Fans of fast music in Chechnya will be disappointed that songs over 116 beats per minute have been banned, as have songs slower than 80 BPM, according to The Moscow Times. The English-language publication reports that authorities wanted limits on tempo for new songs in accordance with "cultural norms" in the Muslim-majority Russian republic.
It's unclear what that means for non-Chechen music that's already been recorded and whether people can continue listening it. Local artists will be given until 1 June to rewrite and rerecord non-complying songs and will no longer be permitted to perform any that don't follow the rules. Many pop songs fall between about 100 and 140 BPM, while some electronic genres regularly push 170 BPM.
