  • The Top 10 Workout Songs for June 2014


    Fort Wayne, IN – June 1, 2014 – This month’s top 10 list provides a succinct argument for the dominance of electronic music on the pop charts. To put this into perspective, consider January of 1992, when Nirvana’s album Nevermind famously replaced Michael Jackson’s Dangerous as the number one album on the Billboard chart. This unlikely feat marked not just a change in fortune for Nirvana, but signaled a larger change in folks’ tastes.
    Skipping back to the present, the last month has seen the release of new singles by Katy Perry, Coldplay, Jennifer Lopez, and a collaboration between Justin Timberlake and (fittingly) Michael Jackson. As was the case in 1992, each of these chart toppers has been replaced by a newer act in a previously overlooked genre. To that end, none of the folks above made the cut in this month’s list—as the majority of the votes went to club rockers like Avicii, Afrojack, 3LAU and Bright Lights.
    Like fashion and film and most other cultural goings-on, music is cyclical. So, DJs won’t be replacing pop stars entirely—not permanently at least. Moreover, there’s plenty of room for outliers. The changing musical landscape doesn’t seem to have hurt Pitbull or Imagine Dragons—both of whom turn up in the list below. But, if it seems like dance music has a near monopoly on the airwaves these days, this month’s playlist is proof of that change.
    History and context aside, there’s a lot to be excited about here. Plus, if there was ever a time for huge beats and raging synths, it’s the summer. So, check out a few of the high energy highlights below, grab a few favorites, and take them for a spin.
    Here’s the full list, according to votes placed at Run Hundred–the web’s most popular workout music blog.
    Clean Bandit & Jess Glynne – Rather Be – 122 BPM

    Crazibiza, Dave Aude & Vassy – Hustlin’ (Radio Version) – 124 BPM

    Janelle Monae – What Is Love (Walden Radio Edit) – 127 BPM

    3LAU & Bright Lights – How You Love Me – 128 BPM

    Afrojack & Wrabel – Ten Feet Tall – 126 BPM

    John Legend – All of Me (Tiesto’s Birthday Treatment Remix Radio Edit) – 128 BPM

    Avicii – Addicted to You (Albin Myers Remix) – 128 BPM

    Ariana Grande & Iggy Azalea – Problem – 103 BPM

    Imagine Dragons – On Top of the World – 100 BPM

    Pitbull & G.R.L. – Wild, Wild Love – 120 BPM

  • Top 10 Workout Songs for 2013


    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:

    The Top 10 Workout Songs of 2013

    Fort Wayne, IN – January 2, 2014 – The end of the year is a great time to survey workout music for two reasons. First, it provides a chance to look back at the year that’s winding down and reminisce. Second, the new year is when folks make resolutions–often to get into better shape–and the recap includes a few songs that might help with that.
    The list below reflects more than 70,000 votes placed last year on Run Hundred—the web’s most heavily-trafficked workout music blog. According to the folks polled there, the most popular artists in the gym this year were David Guetta and Pitbull. They’re the only two artists who appear in the list twice—though they managed this feat with the help of collaborators like Christina Aguilera, Ke$ha, Rihanna, Akon, and Ne-Yo.
    As is the case each year, there are some workout music staples present in the list. There are chart hits—like those from Flo Rida and Jason Derulo. There are hits that got beat out by their own remixes—like those from Lady GaGa and Avicii. There are monster hits that didn’t make the cut—like Katy Perry’s “Roar” and Robin Thicke’s “Blurred Lines.” Lastly, there are songs that got more love in the gym than on the radio—like Fergie, Q-Tip, and GoonRock’s contribution to The Great Gatsby.
    On the whole, there should be a few songs here you loved, a few you missed, and a few that have been given a makeover since you last heard them. If you’re looking for a few tunes to jump start the new year—and possibly a new you—the list below provides 10 great places to start.
    Pitbull & Christina Aguilera – Feel This Moment – 137 BPM
    Selena Gomez – Come & Get It (Dave Aude Club Remix) – 130 BPM
    Fergie, Q-Tip & GoonRock – A Little Party Never Killed Nobody (All We Got) – 130 BPM

    Lady GaGa – Applause (DJ White Shadow Trap Remix) – 141 BPM
    Jason Derulo – The Other Side – 128 BPM
    Avicii – Wake Me Up (Avicii Speed Remix) – 126 BPM
    David Guetta, Ne-Yo & Akon – Play Hard – 130 BPM
