Top 10 workout tracks
TOP 10 FEBRUARY WORKOUT TRACKS: If you're the sort of person who thinks a trip the gym should sound like a night at the club, this is the playlist for you, says Chris Lawhorn, who oversees workout-music site Run Hundred. In other words, this month’s cadence is relentlessly 130 BPM, give or a coupla beats either way, interrupted only by Bridget Mendler’s sub-100 change of pace. Ke$ha makes two appearances and overseas EDM icons Martin Solveig and Zedd contribute a pair of crossover hits, while Kelly Clarkson and Rihanna get remixed for the dance floor.
Zedd & Foxes, “Clarity” – 129 BPM
Ke$ha, “C'mon” – 125 BPM
Bridgit Mendler, “Ready or Not” – 94 BPM
Martin Solveig & Dev, “We Came to Smash—In a Black Tuxedo” – 132 BPM
Calvin Harris & Ellie Goulding, “I Need Your Love – 128 BPM
Rihanna, “Diamonds” (Congorock Remix) – 126 BPM
Icona Pop & Charli XCX, “I Love It” (Cobra Starship Remix) – 130 BPM
Conor Maynard & Ne-Yo, “Turn Around” – 128 BPM
Kelly Clarkson, “Catch My Breath” (Cash Cash Remix) – 128 BPM
Ke$ha, Juicy J, Wiz Khalifa, Becky G, “Die Young” (Remix) – 128 BPM
Meanwhile, in Toluca Lake’s Sports Center, we’re hearing a lot of the Rolling Stones’ “Doom and Gloom,” Django Django’s “Waveforms,” Atlas Genius’ “On a Day” and Muse’s “Madness,” along with the requisite daily dose of Rihanna. Recurrents include “Lonely Boy” and “Howlin’ for You” from The Black Keys, 2Pac’s “California Love” and Radiohead’s “Jigsaw Falling Into Place.” Different strokes for different folks. (2/20a)
