Top 20 Songs to Jam to in the Car

Living in Southern California we spend a lot of time in the car, thanks to traffic. Instead of incessantly complaining about the traffic that’s never going to go away, play some of these songs and turn the traffic into a jam!

1. Ignition-Remix by R. Kelly: This song has a great beat and no matter how hard you try you’re going to end up giving that toot toot!
2. Closer by Chainsmokers: No matter how many times you hear this song, it gets better every time.
3. Love Story by Taylor Swift: Taylor Swift has tons of great songs to sing to in the car and it was hard to choose just one. But this song takes me back to the middle school days, wait maybe that’s a bad thing.
4. Uptown Funk by Bruno Mars: Even if you’re sitting down this jam will make you tap your feet and want to get down, its just too hot.
5. Eye of the Tiger by Survivor: This is just a classic song that anyone with a pulse should at least recognize. Just listening to this song makes you feel like you can take on the world.
6. I’m Yours by Jason Mraz: Once again multiple of his songs could have easily made this list but this one has a special place in my heart and no matter what mood I’m in, I’ll always sing along.
7. Say Something by Great Big World & Christina Aguilera: This is an emotional song perfect for a late night jam session on your way back from the beach or just driving around town.
8. Set Fire to the Rain by Adele: Adele has so many great songs so choosing one was difficult, but this song is a perfect combination of her flawless vocals along with notes us peasants can sing.

10. Lose Yourself by Eminem: No matter how bad I am at rapping (which is really bad) I always attempt to sing along to this song. I last a good 30 seconds before I’m out of breath and practically panting. But there’s nothing better than making a fool of yourself with your friends.
11. Counting Stars by One Republic: The chorus of this song is easy to sing at the top of your lungs as you zip (or crawl) through traffic.
