Top 21 Happiest Songs Ever
You know that I am into happiness in a big way. Music is one of the best ways to improve your mood, particularly when you play one of the happiest songs I have handpicked for you.
Science has a few things to say about what makes a happy song. The average pop song has a tempo around 118 beats per minute (bpm). Feel good songs usually push the tempo up to between 140–150 bpm. Typically, these songs are in major keys and, if they have lyrics, the lyrics are positive.
But some songs that make you happy have some emotional tie that can negate all of the above.
So, let’s get started listening to our big list of the 21 happiest songs ever. The first link will take you to Amazon, where you can buy the mp3. These are affiliate links which earn me a small commission but don’t affect your costs. The second link takes you to Youtube for a free earful.
The first 10 songs are my personal favorites and are in no particular order. The others have been crowdsourced from among my friends and family members, as well as my Twitter followers. You’ll notice a decided slant to 60s and 70s tunes. Not apologizing.
And, I’ve just set up a Youtube playlist for these.
