The Top 10 Workout Songs of 2012

Fort Wayne, IN – January 6, 2013 – As is the case most years, there was a good deal of overlap between the music played on the radio and the music folks took to the gym. So, it'll come as no surprise that PSY, Rihanna, and Flo Rida each turn up in this year's recap.

On the other hand, there were plenty of chart favorites that didn't make the cut. In spite of a string of hits by each, neither The Wanted nor One Direction turn up here. And, while Carly Rae Jepsen makes an appearance in the list, it's not with "Call Me Maybe."

Rather than being overlooked, though, these songs were edged out by ones that monopolized the gyms the way their counterparts did the airwaves. To that end, the list is rounded out by a dance cut from Avicii, a breakthrough track for Havana Brown, and a collaboration between Calvin Harris and Ne-Yo.

Here's the full list, according to votes placed at Run Hundred--the web's most popular workout music blog.

Ke$ha - Die Young - 128 BPM
Flo Rida & Sia - Wild Ones - 129 BPM
Rihanna - Where Have You Been - 128 BPM
Owl City & Carly Rae Jepsen - Good Time - 126 BPM
