Top 10 workout tracks
TOP 10 WORKOUT TRACKS FOR JUNE: This month's top 10 list provides a succinct argument for the dominance of electronic music on the Pop charts, notes RunHundred.com’s Chris Lawhorn, who provides us with these monthly charts based on the votes of fitness buffs around the country. Music is cyclical, so DJs won't be replacing Pop stars entirely—not permanently, at least. Moreover, the changing musical landscape hasn’t hurt Pitbull or Imagine Dragons, both of whom turn up in the list below. The point is, if it seems like dance music has a near-monopoly on the airwaves these days, this month's playlist is proof of that change.
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
And now, as we’re compelled to do every month, we’d like to name a few of the tracks we’ve been hearing recently at the nearby Toluca Lake Tennis & Fitness Club: The Black Keys, “10 Lovers” (awesome bassline); Big Data, “Dangerous” (ditto); Lana Del Rey, “West Coast”; Sam Smith, “Money on My Mind”; Tove Lo, “Stay High” (Hippie Sabotage ‘Habits’ Remix); The War on Drugs, “Burning.” (6/4a)
