Chart of the day: Eminem's Lose Yourself is a workout anthem, 16 years after its release

Updated

What music do you blast when you are trying to get into the workout zone?

For many, the answer will be Eminem's Lose Yourself, a song famed as much for its motivational lyrics (and reference to "mum's spaghetti") as its place in the 2002 drama 8 Mile.

The song is the most-requested by gym-goers who use crowdDJ, a platform from Nightlife Music that lets customers program the tunes at a particular business.

It is the most-requested song on the platform, played nearly 3,000 times in July.

However, it rarely gets a spin outside a gym — it was the 864th most-requested track in pubs, taverns and bars, but the number 1 in fitness, according to Nightlife.

The second most-requested song in gyms is Youngblood by Five Seconds of Summer, released earlier this year. The third is 50 Cent's In Da Club.
