7!

Move over, Mark Spitz (I wonder if SI will have Phelps do a hack remake of this photo. Here's hoping he wears the LZR, but rocks the 'stache)! Congrats to American Olympic standout Michael Phelps for nabbing his 7th gold in the 100m butterfly. If Phelps were a country, he'd be on the UN National Security Council and tied with North Korea and Ukraine for most medals in the Beijing Games:

According to Yahoo! Sports, Phelps pre-race playlist is pretty diverse:

While his pre-race tracklist varies, Phelps has said that "I'm Me" by Lil' Wayne has been on his playlist in Beijing. The track, off Weezy's EP "The Leak" features the line:

Yes I am the best/and no I ain't positive I'm definite/I know the game like I'm reffing it...

Other artists that populate Phelps' iPod include: Jay-Z, Young Jeezy, Eminem and Outkast. (What, no 'Pac?) Occasionally, he'll throw some techno into the mix, but usually keeps things rap-centric. Phelps doesn't speak much about the specific songs he's listening to, but he did tell NBC in 2004 that Eminem's "'Til I Collapse" was on his most-played list at Athens. In 2005, he created a playlist for the website Rhapsody that included the songs "Roses" by Outkast, "Burn" by Usher, "Overnight Celebrity" by Twista and "Smile" by G-Unit.
