A poll of 1,300 adults aged 30 to 55 has revealed the 50 songs that are most likely to put you in a good mood. These songs are considered some of the happiest songs ever released.

The study was carried out by Greatest Hits Radio. A lot of the "happiest songs ever" were released in the late 70s with hits from Abba, Elton John, and CHIC all making the top 20.

Behavioral scientist and broadcaster Paul McKenna shared why certain songs make us happy,

“We associate the song to good times from the past. To some extent we get transported back there. [...] We begin to create all the neuro chemical changes, and all the happy neurotransmitters that are associated with a certain song that uplifts us, get released again. So, listening to happy songs that we love is very good for our health psychologically and physically.”
