The Happiest Songs Ever Released, According to New Research!
Music makes us happy! That's a fact!
Queen’s ‘Don’t Stop Me Now’, ‘Stayin’ Alive’ by the Bee Gees and Rick Astley’s ‘Never Gonna Give You Up’ are among the happiest songs ever released.
A poll of 1,300 adults aged 30-55 has revealed the top tunes most likely to put you in a good mood.
The study, which was carried out by Greatest Hits Radio, showed the happiest songs were released in the late 70s, with Abba, Elton John and CHIC all making the top 20.
It emerged 58 percent of adults said songs that make them happiest are ones released during their youth.
And more than one song from the hit 1978 film Grease features in the list, with ‘You’re the one that I Want’ and ‘Summer Nights’ among people’s favourite feel-good songs.
The survey also revealed that since the lockdown, people have been listening to a lot more radio!
