Spotify, the world’s most popular music streaming service, today reveals the hottest tracks topping Malaysians’ workout playlists. In collaboration with Asia’s hottest new reality TV show Fit for Fashion, Spotify has also unveiled tailored workout playlists featuring song recommendations from the show’s trainers and contestants to help you get the most from your workout.

Across Asia, Wasted by Tiësto tops the charts as the most popular workout song, followed by Iggy Azalea’s Fancy and Coldplay’s A Sky Full Of Stars in a tussle for second place. In Malaysia, Spotify users are increasingly searching for music that helps them get the most out of their “sweat-time”, by looking for songs such as “workout”, “gym”, “yoga”, and “running”. The data has been aggregated by Spotify by scanning playlists as well as search keywords related to various workouts.

Spotify’s first TV show partner in Asia, Fit for Fashion is set to transform 12 ordinary men and women into fit, stylish and confident individuals through a series of grueling physical and fashion challenges. Contestants will be competing for a USD100,000 top prize and the chance to grace the cover of a magazine.

Fit for Fashion’s Episode 7 will showcase Spotify as it focuses on the role music plays in training up a runway-ready body. Featuring inspirational contestant transformations alongside expert fitness and styling advice, the show aims to motivate viewers to exercise their right to reach their full potential.

Episode 7 of Fit for Fashion airs on 27 November and will feature exclusive Spotify playlists with top workout tracks, as well as songs curated from contestants’ workout routines and fashion challenges. The bespoke playlists will be available to Fit for Fashion viewers on Spotify to motivate the audience to work up a sweat alongside their favourite contestants.
