It's by Moby and it's called "Thousand". It's peaks at over 1000 beats per minute. The average song on the radio goes at about 120-150 bpm. The average resting heart rate for a normal adult goes at about 60-80 bpm.

Have to question the above response. The 'average song on the radio' is a bit meaningless and vague. If in on a station dominated by pop songs and love ballads, then the beats per minute is nowhere near 120 - 150 bpm. That bpm is the speed of house music. See here - link https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/House_music

And an average radio station will play chart or country, not house. If 'average song' is to mean chart song, then in a world where Shania Twain, Justin Timberlake, Sugarbabes, et al, dominate radio, the average radio song is nowhere near this bpm.

(Although I'm sure his Moby answer is fine and dandy!)
