Motivational Workout Songs

Hi all!
I'm looking for suggestions of songs to add to my workout playlist. The songs that normally motivate me are fast, upbeat and catchy. Could anyone give me a glimpse into some of their workout playlists? Thanks!

Im not good at names of songs but I usually go with hip hop and top 40 stuff...if you go online and google workout songs you can get some good ideas. I usually ask my teenage son for suggestions too. Some artist I like are Christina Aguilera, Kelly Clarkson, Missy Elliott, Beyonce, Jay-z, some Mariah Carey.

The ones I like best for motivation right now:

The Underdog by Spoon
That's Not My Name by The Ting Tings
Ready to Start by Arcade Fire
Warrior by Kimbra
Hell by Tegan and Sara
Houdini by Foster the People


I really like Girl on Fire by Alicia Keys for motivation right now, but it's not exactly peppy. So not my genre of choice either, if you look at the above songs. I'm in the middle of couch to 5k and have a pretty slow pace though, so it works for me. Especially at the end of my last run segment when I'm getting exhausted.
