Black Hole measurements have grown significantly in the new age ofgravitation wave astronomy from LIGO observations of binary black hole mergers.As yet unobserved massive ultralight bosonic fields represent one of the mostexciting features of Standard Model extensions, capable of providing solutionsto numerous paradigmatic issues in particle physics and cosmology. In this workwe explore bounds from spinning astrophysical black holes and their angularmomentum energy transfer to bosonic condensates which can form surrounding theblack hole via superradiant instabilities. Using recent analytical results weperform a simplified analysis with a generous ensemble of black hole parametermeasurements where we find superradiance very generally excludes bosonic fieldsin the mass ranges; spin-0: ${\scriptsize \{ 3.8\times10^{-14}\ {\rm eV} \leq\mu_0 \leq 3.4\times10^{-11}\ {\rm eV}, 5.5\times10^{-20}\ {\rm eV} \leq \mu_0\leq 1.3\times10^{-16}\ {\rm eV}, 2.5\times10^{-21}\ {\rm eV} \leq \mu_0 \leq1.2\times10^{-20}\ {\rm eV}\}}$, spin-1: ${\scriptsize \{ 6.2\times10^{-15}\{\rm eV} \leq \mu_1 \leq 3.9\times10^{-11}\ {\rm eV}, 2.8\times10^{-22}\ {\rmeV} \leq \mu_1 \leq 1.9\times10^{-16}\ {\rm eV} \}}$ and spin-2: ${\scriptsize\{ 2.2\times10^{-14}\ {\rm eV} \leq \mu_2 \leq 2.8\times10^{-11}\ {\rm eV},1.8\times10^{-20}\ {\rm eV} \leq \mu_2 \leq 1.8\times10^{-16}\ {\rm eV},6.4\times10^{-22}\ {\rm eV} \leq \mu_2 \leq 7.7\times10^{-21}\ {\rm eV} \}}$respectively. We also explore these bounds in the context of specificphenomenological models, specifically the QCD axion, M-theory models and fuzzydark matter sitting at the edges of current limits. In particular we includerecent measurements of event GW190521 and M87* used to constrain both themasses and decay constants of axion like fields. Finally we comment a simpleexample of a spectrum of fields for the spin-0 and spin-1 cases.
