“Sometimes I like to exercise in silence, other times I like to be in the gym with Mozart,” the 80-year-old rock legend writes in an introductory note to his list. “[B]ut most of the time I enjoy exercising to music like this…”

The “Mick Jagger: Music That Moves Me” playlist features 23 songs, offering up a mix of rock, pop, soul, funk, hip hop, EDM, and World Music. Among the tracks are tunes by The Chemical Brothers, Daft Punk, Prince, Fatboy Slim, Sly and Family Stone, Marvin Gaye, The Human League, Curtis Mayfield, James Brown, The 1975, The O’Jays, and—surprise, surprise—The Rolling Stones and Jagger himself.
Two Stones tracks are featured on the list the new tune “Mess It Up” from the band’s 2023 album, Hackney Diamonds, and the Alok remix version of the group’s 2020 single “Living in a Ghost Town.”
Jagger also picked his song “God Gave Me Everything,” a collaboration with Lenny Kravitz that appeared on his 2001 solo album Goddess in the Doorway, to include on the playlist.

Fans React to Jagger’s Playlist
A variety of fans took to the comments section on Jagger’s X page to share their reactions to the playlist.
One fan wrote, “When I exercise to The Stones I always end up singing and dancing instead.”
Another commented, “Would think you would need nothing more than Hackney Diamonds to exercise to! This new album is the best Stones album since Some Girls in my mind – can’t stop playing it.”
A third wrote, “My favorite band of all time. Keep singing, keep moving, Mick.”
2024 Tour Plans
Jagger likely is working out a bit harder than usual these days to get ready for The Rolling Stones’ upcoming 2024 North American tour in support of Hackney Diamonds. As previously reported, the 19-date trek kicks off April 28 in Houston and runs through a July 17 concert in Santa Clara, California.
Tickets for the dates are available now via various outlets, including StubHub.
Rolling Stones Are Nominated for a Brit Award
Before the tour starts, The Rolling Stones will compete for a prestigious Brit Award in the Alternative/Rock Act category. The band is facing off for the honor against Blur, Bring Me the Horizon, Young Fathers, and Yussef Dayes.
The Brit Awards are the U.K.’s equivalent to the Grammys. The Rolling Stones have been nominated four previous times for a Brit honor over the years, but have never won.
The 2024 Brit Awards will be held on March 2 at the O2 arena in London and will air live on the U.K. channels ITV1 and ITVX.
