I'm going to let you in on a little secret. The difference between a mediocre workout and a workout that leaves you feeling sweaty and on an adrenaline high is a fierce playlist [1]. If running is your favourite form of exercise, maybe you prefer plugging into a soundtrack that's tailored to a runner's pace. On the other hand, you can never go wrong with a themed playlist — especially one that's loaded with pop hits from the early aughts [2].

A playlist is the soundtrack to your workout, so it's important to find one that'll motivate you to sweat a little more and push a little harder. Enter: today's top hits. There's no better way to get acquainted with this year's chart-topping songs than with some high-energy cardio or weight exercises. In this playlist, you'll find a heart-pumping mix of 2022 hits like Dove Cameron's "Boyfriend," The Weeknd's "Sacrifice," and "House on Fire" from rising star Mimi Webb [3]. You're guaranteed to walk away with every verse memorized and burn some major calories. It's productivity at its finest!
