The classic hit “Uptown Funk ft.
Bruno Mars” by Mark Ronson and Bruno Mars was a massive success worldwide.
Many people in Japan have probably heard this song as well.
While it falls under the genre of funk music, it’s not just traditional funk—it’s refined with a modern sound, making it easy to enjoy without any sense of incongruity.
If you want to jazz up your jogging or walking with an upbeat vibe, be sure to give it a listen.

Even in 2016, this song remains just as popular as when it was released, and because it’s easy to get into the rhythm, it’s a staple often used at clubs and dance events.
It’s recommended for those who want to enjoy running or jogging and work up a good sweat.

Megan’s songs are generally upbeat and lively, but this track is especially popular for its chorus that everyone can’t help but sing along to.

This song was used as the opening theme for the anime Fire Force.
Mrs.
GREEN APPLE usually shows a pop side, but this track is pure rock.
The exhilarating rush of the chorus is irresistible.
Listening to Inferno, with its cool vibe from start to finish, will surely spur you to keep moving forward.
This TownNiall Horan62rank/position
This is also a song I want you to listen to when you’re running or jogging through places that bring back a sense of nostalgia and memories.
Niall Horan is a member of the British boy band One Direction.
Super BassNicki Minaj63rank/position
Nicki Minaj, a female rapper from Trinidad and Tobago.
She’s an artist who has gained popularity worldwide, not for hardcore hip-hop but for catchy hip-hop.
Among her works, the one I recommend for running or jogging is “Super Bass.” It features a fast-paced rap that evokes the New School vibe, so I think listening to it will help you pick up your running pace.
