Spotify has revealed that Eye of the Tiger, the theme song from Rocky III, is the most popular song included on running playlists in the UK.
The massive 1982 hit will feature on Spotify's UK Running playlist, to which the streaming service has added five hours of tracks for this weekend's virtual London Marathon. The UK's most popular running playlist is now eight hours long, ideal for 'back of the pack' runners needing a boost. More than 45,000 runners will take part in the event this Sunday.
Spotify has also announced it has had more than 25,000 streams of London Marathon-inspired playlists in the past month among UK listeners, almost all of whom, it has to be assumed, were preparing for Sunday’s event. The streaming platform reported a 36 per cent rise in streams on April 26, when the 40th race was originally set to take place.
If you’re planning to put together your own playlist on Sunday, the five most popular songs included in running playlists in the UK on Spotify are:
“Survivor” by Eye of the Tiger
“Titanium” by David Guetta featuring Sia
“Can't Hold Us” by Macklemore featuring Ryan Lewis
“Lose Yourself” by Eminem
“Wake Me Up” by Avicii
