I tried to wait for the “glee effect” to ware off of iTunes before i did this week’s running playlist analysis, but it’s been 2 days and Glee is still strong on the list with 2 new songs We are young and Survivor / I Will Survive.
We also have a new entrant, Red Solo Cup, by Toby Keith which is basically a love song he sings to a a plastic cup… wow, what depth and quality… I guess he has a great marketing team.

This week’s iTunes top 10 is great for any running playlist. Most of the songs on this list are high on BPM and the quality ain’t that bad either. I can’t really write this post without mentioning Glee again, and I’ve been fooling around on iTunes quite a lot lately, and recently noticed this: Glee: The Music Presents The Warblers. Great way to capitalize on the new sound Glee has to offer, and honestly, I think they were carrying most of the last season, so good for them! One last thing I want to mention is that Britney has another song in the top 10 – Till The World Ends. I just noticed the name of her album, Femme Fatale. I have a feeling she needs to get an image makeover… She’s talented enough to sell her music without having to resort to cheap “look at me, I’m sexy” tricks… Get the running playlist and more running music at running playlist. I would love to hear your feedback on this, so please comment, or contact me onfacebook or twitter.
Now that Glee is off the air, there’s a lot more diversity in the list, and I’m happy to say that there’s even a country song in the top 10 for a change,Honey Bee
I usually post this running playlist analysis on Tuesdays but yesterday, when I checked the iTunes top 10, I saw 3 Glee songs on the list. “3 Glee songs?!” I thought to myself, “that’s too much… I’ll wait until tomorrow and post this once the Glee craze dies down”. Of course, I forgot that Tuesday is Glee day on TV and coupled with the post Superbowl Glee, It created a Glee frenzy with nearly all spots on the iTunes top 10 taken by Glee songs. Not only that, I think this is the first time in history when not only are the cover version of a song (Firework (Glee Cast Version) Wow! anyway, I do like the Glee machine, and they are slowly becoming the main source of music for many people. It would be very interesting to see how the new american Idol does with Glee music the day before. Anyway, back to running and music… As usual, I’ve bolded the songs that are good for a running playlist. to get the glee running playlist visit running playlist
I promised you a running playlist surprise this week and here it is! If you haven’t heard of the TV show Glee (which could only happen if you live under a rock or have just now woken up from a coma – and if that’s the case, thanks for making this site the first one you visit The music from Glee already broke the Beatles’ record for the number of hits on the top of the charts (even though these are only cover versions). As much as I hate to admit it (again, I’m not a 12 year old girl), I do like the show. The story lately is getting looser and looser and barely makes sense anymore (what contest are they trying to win this year?) but it does work with the songs and their music is very up-beat and well performed in most cases. That’s why I decided to create a running playlist entirely out of Glee songs. It actually turned out quite good with an average BPM of 127, and at almost 45 minutes (without commercials…:) it will give you a good workout. get the list at running playlist
