This month's top 10 list plays host to a variety of dance cuts, club remixes, and curious collaborations. On the cardio front, you'll find a pair of songs from Cash Cash -- an original song and a remix of Katy Perry's latest single. If you're looking for something uptempo to score your next run, either will fit the bill.

For lower rep workouts -- crunches, push-ups, and the like -- there's an updated version of the summertime smash "Turn Down for What" that keeps the same 100 BPM as the original, while dialing up the intensity and adding new verses from Juicy J, 2 Chainz, and French Montana.

From out of left field, you'll find a country-meets-pop hit featuring Florida Georgia Line, Luke Bryan and Jason Derulo. Equally surprising, the single, biggest vote-getter of the month is an ode to going hard from Swedish DJ duo Dada Life and heavy metal icon Sebastian Bach.
