A playlist can make or break your workout, and while listening to a throwback soundtrack [1] is a fun way to get your adrenaline pumping, there's nothing like sweating along to this year's top hits. It's shaping up to be a helluva year in music. In 2021, we've gotten collaborations from powerhouses like Lizzo and Cardi B [2] and bop after bop from artists like newcomer Olivia Rodrigo [3]. Keep scrolling to listen to our favourite workout songs from 2021, and be sure to check back later in the year to find out who else makes the list. Just remember to download the free Spotify app [4] so you can take this playlist with you wherever you go.
