6. Kanye West – Stronger

Daft Punk enjoyed a great renaissance this year, with this track, a bunch of mash-ups, and an amazing live version of Around the World combined with Harder Better Faster Stronger. One of the poppiest hip hop tracks ever, Kanye’s Stronger is perhaps the best workout song that came out in 2007. I don’t think it really meshes well with the rest of Kayne’s Graduation album (which is great, btw), but it was definitely one of my favorites to run to.

7. Kylie Minogue – Sensitized

Kylie’s album X is about an 8.5 out of ten. Some great tracks and only one or two meh ones. This is my favorite track (along with Stars)–the pulsing, slinky 8-bar beat that holds the track together is great.

8. Kylie Minogue – Stars

This song feels like the happy ending of a movie you really like. To me, anyway. It just makes me happy.

9. Timbaland feat. Kerri Hilson & D.O.E (vs. Daft Punk) – Way I Are

Loved the original–especially the ‘I ain’t got no visa’ line (for obvious reasons). This mash up, by Loo & Placido, adds some needed bulk to the song.

10. Justin Timberlake – What Goes Around Comes Around (Sebastien Leger Radio Edit)

Last time I post this song! Promise! The best of all the What Goes Around remixes, I love the bouncy 8-bit beat; Sebastien Leger is now one to watch for remixes.
