Dubbed one of Kanye West’s best singles in years, Power will definitely get your legs moving and your heart throbbing.

8. Stronger by Kanye West
Making another entry in Spotify’s best exercise music list is Kanye West, with his edgy 2007 track Stronger.

9. Blinding Lights by The Weeknd

10. Goosebumps by HMVE
Living up to its name, Goosebumps will send shivers down your spine with its banger beats.
