25 Happiest Songs of All Time

Some people say that when they are feeling down and want to cheer up, they find comfort in listening to depressing music because it is relates to their current mood. For the record, I am not one of those people!

For others, an upbeat quick-paced song is needed to help them smile, dance and forget about their old mood.

If you’re part of this group, like I am, I have put together a playlist of the top 25 happiest songs of all time that are guaranteed to put a smile on your face… let that smile shine!

The criteria for selecting this happy music playlist was simple. It includes tracks that have catchy beats, uplifting and memorable lyrics that are easy to sing along to, and they just may make you want to get up and dance!
