A 2014 study suggested that those who listened to the bass-heavy music felt more confident and performed better at interviews and meetings.
Exampled included 50 Cent’s In Da Club and Queen’s We Will Rock You.
My personal favorites are Eminem's Lose Yourself and Kendrick's King Kunta.
What are some hype songs that you like? Any suggestions? I need more songs for my playlist.

Frank Sinatra-My Way
I'm probably in the minority here, but I love listening to music from the 60s... 1760s, that is...
In all seriousness, classical music is what does it for me to perform well before an interview, exam, etc. (anything in which the stakes are high)
This always gives me the pep I need before an interview!
Jokes aside, totally agree; but I prefer romantic composers. I posted it below, but my favorite 'get amped while staying sharp' has to be Brukner 8 Mov. IV: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kXDH3w2gCQQ
It's impossible for me to choose a favorite, but I think I was listening to the final movement of Mahler's 1st Symphony moments before I went in for my interview at HBS.
The coda never fails to get me amped up
Huey Lewis, Phil Collins (post-Genesis), and Whitney
and Chris De Burgh for winding down after you crushed it.
Out of personal experience, it is best not to listen to music, as that takes you into your head. The trick is to get out of your head, i personally like to make small talk with a random stranger to calm my nerves before an interview. Just my $0.02.
Dennis de laat - sound of violence
Only song you need in your library
I usually listen to either Pantera or Slayer. It helps me channel my inner Patrick Bateman.
TI & Young thug-about the money
