Workout Songs: Part 2

Sadie5 Comments

Continuing where I left off a couple weeks ago with Old School workout tunes, the bulk of the songs on my workout playlist probably fit into the Top 40 category.  I can only listen to older songs so many times in a week, so I need the new stuff to keep it interesting.  Actually, I often find myself skipping through the songs on my shuffle hoping to find one of the last few songs I downloaded on iTunes.  There’s usually a new song that I want to listen to ten times in a row because it’s just so catchy.  Here are a few songs that have come out over the past couple years that I have been obsessed with:

Top 40 upbeat/catchy tunes:

  1. What Makes You Beautiful by One Direction
  2. Blackout by Breathe Carolina
  3. Call Me Maybe by Carly Rae Jepsen
  4. International Love by Chris Brown and Pitbull
  5. Sexy and I Know It by LMFAO
  6. Starships by Nikki Minaj
  7. Turn Up the Music by Chris Brown
  8. Broken Hearted by Karmin
  9. Drive By by Train
  10. Without You by David Guetta and Usher
  11. Domino by Jessie J
  12. Teenage Dream by Katy Perry
  13. Runaway Baby by Bruno Mars
  14. Blah Blah Blah by Kesha
  15. Till the World Ends Remix by Britney Spears with Kesha and Nikki Minaj
  16. Where Dem Girls At by David Guetta with Flo Rida and Nikki Minaj
  17. Moves Like Jagger by Maroon 5 with Christina Aguilera
  18. Turn It Up by Ciara and Usher
  19. Everybody Talks by Neon Trees
  20. Good Girl by Carrie Underwood

Which ones did I miss?

It seems like these days every great pop or rap song that come out has one thing in common: Pitbull.  I don’t hate it.  I’ve been a fan of the whole hispanic rap sound for a while.  I went through a serious Sean Paul phase in college.

Earlier this week I heard Pitbull’s new Men In Black song on the radio and it reminded me that I pretty much like every song he puts out.  In addition of Pitbull’s catchy, fun songs, the man knows how to put himself together in the morning.  This dude can wear a suit.  He brings a whole new level of classiness to rap that his predecessors have attempted but never achieved to his level of success.   Even though he uses a lot of the traditional rap narratives in his lyrics, I feel like his lyrics are continuing to get more mature.  Also the fact that he collaborates with artists across the board, I think shows that he’s a nice, friendly kind of guy.  I saw his episode of “Behind the Music” and his mother basically confirmed these suspicions.

My top five recent Pitbull jams:

1. Back in Time (MIB theme)

2. International Love (feat. Chris Brown)

3. Give Me Everything (feat. Ne- Yo)

4. Dance Again (with J.Lo)

5. I Like How it Feels (with Enrique)

My top five older Pitbull jams:

1. Go Girl

2. I Know You Want Me

3. The Anthem

4. Hotel Room Service

5. Shake (with Ying Yang Twins)

PS- Make sure to watch J.Lo’s new video “Dance Again.”  The girl knows how to pick her boyfriends.

I think out of the years I looked at for this post, 2007 was definitely the best.  So many good songs!  I love putting some old school stuff on my workout mix just to keep it fresh!  It gives me total deja vu to listen to Bleeding Love, I can picture myself in my car driving on the NJ Turnpike and singing along!
