Though it must, the upper figure being divisible by 2 does not of itself indicate duple metre. The most common time signature in rock, blues, country, funk, and pop is 44. Although jazz writing has become more adventurous since Dave Brubeck's Time Out, the majority of jazz and jazz standards are still in four time. Duple time is common in many styles including the polka, notorious for its obvious "oom-pah" duple feel. Compare to the waltz. (en)
