These are the World’s Most Popular Workout Songs
I get beat up by a personal trainer twice a week and also attend an hour-long circuit class on Saturday morning that leaves me thisclose to a heart attack. Naturally, there’s music playing all the time–and sometimes there are arguments about what should be played.
Like many gyms, all our music is sourced through Spotify, which means that Spotify has excellent data on what songs people use for workouts.

- The top countries using workout playlists? Norway, Iceland, Sweden, Australia and Canada.
