Satisfaction by Italian DJ Benny Benassi, which became a worldwide hit in 2002.

Ed Sheeran’s mega-hit “Shape of You.” Since it was a worldwide smash, many of you probably know it.

While it has great rhythm, the melody isn’t particularly powerful, so it’s better suited for stretching or running than for hard workouts.
