My playlist is getting old. I love to run to really poppy songs.

A few from my list are:
Brokenhearted - Karmin
Barbie Girl- Aqua
3 - Britney Spears

Any suggestions on fun, upbeat songs?

    I did a Pandora playlist with Katy Perry - E.T, Written in the Stars by Tinie Tempah and Like a G6 by Far East Movement and Down on Me by Jeremih . It came out with a pretty good playlist.

    I use my android phone's Pandora App. Start with a song that you like and see where it goes. The best thing is that you find songs that you had forgotten about or never would have heard anywhere else. For me I started with Twisted Sister.

    I hate the commercials! I've switched to Spotify, but their radio just doesn't GET me like Pandora used to! :P

    I feel dirty when I even start to think of One Direction or Justin Beiber. Although most (all?) are legal :P

    I tend to listen to anything that's a bit arrogant and swaggerific haha. So Rihanna's 'Rated R' album, and also her recent one, 'Talk that Talk', along with the Jay Z/Kanye Watch the Throne album.

    My gym plays loads of cheesy euro house upbeat stuff which works too!

    *honourable mention to that new Taylor Swift song. Wtf it gets me so excited!

    The premium service doesn't have commercials. I pay the yearly subscription because I also listen all day at work.

    Anything dubstep makes me totally work harder. But...it's not for everyone. It can get pretty annoying if you don't like it or you're not in the mood for it.

    I pretty much RAGE to G6 when it comes on my "OMGRUNNNN" playlist rofl.

    It'll be easier to just post links for some stuff on my playlist that it is to type it all out:

    I'm going to see this guy in concert tonight, actually...
    Get By - Delta Heavy
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8cOt9UcYGOU

    Reach - Tantrum Desire
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=118wNAojwQU

    Gold dust - Flux Pavilion
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PEbJ4qLiMu0

    I have a lot of pretty repetitive and randomly super hyper songs for when I run. . .

    Oh, this song is fun too.
    IDGAF - Breathe Carolina
