TIME published its own list of 50 of the best workout songs loosely based on Spotify charts and shaped by the author’s taste. The No 1, however, does not pose any questions – it is Eminem’s “Till I Collapse”.
This is the description TIME provides to the track:
One of Eminem’s big hits also happens to be a pep talk. “When you feel weak you feel like you want to just give up,” he intones, “but you gotta search within you, you gotta find that inner strength.” Then he blasts off. When the going gets hard, Eminem is here to take you through to the finish line — whatever the workout, whatever the challenge.
While some editor’s picks in this list can surprise you, Eminem’s track is an indisputable favourite. Four years in a row it remains the most popular workout track on Spotify and last year it was named the most listened to workout track of all time. Its popularity certainly contributed to the record sales of this track last year.
