The Top 10 Workout Songs For November. What’s Yours?

I USED to be able to keep up it music. I knew artists, albums, words. I had a wall of cassette tapes circa 1987…

Which was replaced with a tower fo CDs in college…

WHICH I stayed up all night and ripped when I got my first iPod…

WHICH looks ancient now!

Moral of the story… I’M OLD!

I admit it. I can’t keep up. I run my own business, have 2 kids, a house that needs to be cleaned, meals that need to be cooked and, umm yea, I have to sleep!

Honestly, I’ve been listening to 95% of the same music for the last 10 years. Sure, now and then I download a new tune but half of them are older ones I’m just learning about.

It’s sad.

Well, I think it’s sad, but only because I miss discovering new music. So when Chris from RunHundred asked if I’d like a few new song suggestions, I hopped on the idea. He’s going to shoot a new top 10 every month to share on the site. This months….

This month’s top 10 list has a little of what you’d expect—and a little you might not.  Flo Rida, who’s no stranger to this list, shows up in two tracks this month.  Enrique Iglesias continues his transition from balladeer to club rocker.  And Kelly Clarkson, after faltering with the first single off her new album, bounced back ferociously with the second.

As for surprises, they’re mostly entries from folks relatively new on the dance scene.  Highlights include songs from Tim Berg (who remixed his own track under his Avicii moniker), Skrillex (whose collaboration with Kaskade is the first dubstep track ever the make the Top 10), and Wolfgang Gartner (who’s made the chart with a little help fromWill.I.Am).

Here’s the full list, according to votes placed at Run Hundred–the web’s most popular blog for workout songs.
