Dec. top 10 workout songs
TOP 10 WORKOUT SONGS FOR DECEMBER: Given that they've both passed on, it's kinda surreal to see that both The King and his son-in-law (The King of Pop) have dropped club hits this month. Elvis turns up in a remixed version of “Suspicious Minds,” the latest in a series of reworked Presley classics that began appearing after Junkie XL had a crossover hit with “A Little Less Conversation” from Ocean's Eleven. Michael Jackson's “Wanna Be Startin' Somethin'” also gets the remix treatment—though the changes are subtle—as part of the buzzing new MJ-themed Cirque du Soleil production Immortal (see story). Other highlights from the top 10 include Katy Perry's latest single, the sixth from Teenage Dream, two tracks featuring Lil Jon and a curious collaboration teaming will.i.am, J.Lo, and Mick Jagger. Here's the full list, according to votes placed at the workout music blog Run Hundred:
Calvin Harris – “Feel So Close” (Benny Benassi Remix) - 131 BPM
Katy Perry – “The One That Got Away” - 135 BPM
