Figure Skating Programs Set to Popular Music

1 Maé-Bérénice Méité's Beyoncé Medley

French figure skater Maé-Bérénice Méité caught everyone's attention with her stunning Beyoncé medley, performed here at the 2018 Olympics. Featuring "Run the World (Girls)" and a cover of "Halo," this routine is everything we love about figure skating: a combination of elegance and electrifying jumps, music that gets us excited, and even a shimmering gold and black costume that evoked Queen Bey herself (2016 Super Bowl halftime show, anyone?).

2 Madison Hubbell and Zachary Donohue's "A Star Is Born" Medley

Madison Hubbell and Zachary Donohue have never lacked for chemistry on the ice, and their free dance to "Alibi" and "Shallow" left us breathless. The inclusion of dialogue from the movie takes it to the next level.

3 Maia and Alex Shibutani's "Paradise" by Coldplay

The Shibutani siblings' trademark charisma and sharp, clean execution sparkles in this Olympic free dance set to Coldplay.

4 Starr Andrews's "Black Like Me" by Mickey Guyton

One thing we love about the new music rules: figure skaters can select music that speaks to them, and their on-ice interpretation can amplify an important message. Starr Andrews stole our hearts when she did just that with Micke Guyton's "Black Like Me," a song that inspired 19-year-old so much, "I just had to skate to it."

5 Gazizà Rakhimullina's "How You Like That" by Blackpink

K-pop and figure skating are the perfect combination, and if you don't believe us, just watch Russian skater Gazizà Rakhimullina's performance of Blackpink's "How You Like That," which takes the group's iconic choreography to a whole new level on the ice.

7 Eva Pate and Logan Bye's "Say Something" by Great Big World Feat. Christina Aguilera

As if "Say Something" wasn't heartbreaking enough! Pate and Bye's interpretation does justice to the song's raw emotions of pain, sorrow, and desire; even in practice footage, the sincerity shines through.

8 Cordero Zuckerman's "Señorita" (M+ike Remix) by Shawn Mendes and Camila Cabello

We love "Señorita" and we love Cordero Zuckerman. (I'm still having nightmares about his "Bury a Friend" routine, but in a good way.) You think this is just another lovely, Latin dance-inspired routine, then the beat drops and Zuckerman does a back flip and the mood gets intense.

9 Jason Brown's "The Room Where It Happens" From Hamilton

Jason Brown is known for putting on show-stopping performances (my personal favourite will always be his 2013-2014 Riverdance free skate), so of course we had high hopes when we heard he was going with Hamilton in 2017-2018. This snippet of his performance is worthy of Broadway.

10 Adam Rippon's "Otherside" by Beyoncé

Adam Rippon always meets the high expectations we set for him, and this breathtaking Beyoncé routine is no exception. The Olympic medalist had us captivated from the first note. (PS: Rippon is now a figure skating choreographer who's worked with Mariah Bell, among others — you can see him celebrating after her "Hallelujah" program above!)

11 Culver Ice Productions' "Bad Guy" by Billie Eilish

If you've never heard of ice theatre before, sit back and enjoy this delightfully creepy "Bad Guy" routine from Culver Ice Productions. The spins, the transitions, the camera staredowns: Billie Eilish would be proud.
