Somewhere between 206-210bpm.

Set a timer for one minute.
Play the song.
Start the timer.
Tap out the beats and count said taps.
The number of taps you count during that minute is your answer.

It's like a doctor taking a pulse.

Count the beats that occur in 30 seconds, times it by 2.
or...
counts/15 secs * 4
or...
counts/10 secs * 6
