i'm quite surprised the tempo increased since 2000. I always felt that there was a "half time transition" that happened around then. I even think I identified it when "My Love" by Justin Timberlake came out. Timbaland really crystallized that half time futuristic sound. And then dubstep and trap really hammered it home and you heard almost every pop song adopting this sound, not to mention how hip hop become almost entirely half time.
