These are Spotify’s Top Workout & Wellness Trends – Plus 2020 Predictions to Help Kick-Start Your Resolutions

December 31, 2019

As we enter the New Year—or better yet, new decade—there are endless ways to get on that fitness, wellness, or self-care resolution. Since there are plenty of songs, podcasts, and playlists dedicated to helping people achieve their wellness goals on Spotify, we took a look at how listeners have been using music and podcasts to stay on track. Plus, we made some predictions for what trends the new year will bring.

So, with more than 54 million workout-themed playlists on Spotify, what songs do listeners sweat to the most? Eminem’s “‘Till I Collapse” is the most-streamed track on workout lists at the moment. Ed Sheeran’s “I Don’t Care” with Justin Bieber is second highest, followed by Tones and I’s “Dance Monkey,” “If I Can’t Have You” by Shawn Mendes, and “Beautiful People” by Ed Sheeran and Khalid.

It turns out that our listeners have a particular workout preference—running. Spotify listeners around the world have created more running playlists than any other workout type. Yoga follows in popularity, so you can be sure listeners are staying flexible as well.

We found that people want to learn about wellness from podcasts, too. Listening in the fitness and wellness podcast genre increased 145% in the past year. Plus, listeners are falling asleep—and in love—with sleep podcasts. The most popular podcast in the health and fitness category is Sleepy, where host Otis Gray reads classic stories to help listeners doze off. Is this what sweet dreams are made of?

As for 2020 predictions, we have reason to believe there’s going to be more meditating than ever before. We saw a 113% increase in streams of meditation playlists in the past year, higher than any other workout or wellness type.

Plus, we feel self-love will continue to reign supreme, with pump-up empowerment anthems like Ariana Grande’s “thank u, next,” Lizzo’s “Good as Hell,” and Hailee Steinfeld’s “Love Myself,” popular on self-care playlists. These powerful women are here to say You’ve got this.

Keep up the motivation with even more workout and wellness trends:

Celebrate Self-Love with a Playlist All For You This Valentine’s Day

February 14, 2019

Whether you’re single, married, starting a new relationship, or breaking up with someone (hang in there!), we want everyone to feel the love this February 14th. Because while many countries celebrate Valentine’s Day this month, not every person will be in the mood for listening to romantic ballads or steamy songs. That’s why we’ve created Self-Love, a playlist made specifically about appreciating a supremely important person in your life: you.  

We’re not the only ones who see a little “me time” as important. In the past year, we’ve noticed that streams of self-love themed playlists have been on the rise, with listening increasing about 72%. Plus, we’ve found that the most popular time of day to stream self-love playlists is the morning, suggesting that people turn to them to help set the right tone for the day.

We looked to our listeners’ playlists for their favorite tracks about wellness, relaxation, self-care, and self-love. The 30 picks featured on our playlist include some of the most popular user picks—from Hailee Steinfeld’s “Love Yourself” and Panic at the Disco’s “High Hopes” to throwback jams like Nina Simone’s “Feeling Good” and Bobby McFerrin’s “Don’t Worry Be Happy.” These songs acknowledge themes of resilience, positivity, survival and… red wine (cheers, UB40).

So raise your glass and take some time to celebrate your own unique self with this soul-pampering playlist. Curated, with love, from us for you.
