There’s nothing like a good song to put a smile on your face. Greatest Hits Radio has released a list of the top 50 happiest songs of alltTime, based on a poll of 1,300 adults aged 30 to 55. Coming out on top is the ELO classic “Mr. Blue Sky”, which was named the happiest song by a fifth of all respondents. “Thank you for voting for my song ‘Mr Blue Sky’ as the song that makes you the happiest,” said ELO’s Jeff Lynne. “I’m really chuffed about it, it’s great. What a great thing. Thank you so much.” Following behind the number 1 were “Don’t Stop Me Now” by Queen, “Stayin’ Alive” by the Bee Gees, and “Dancing Queen” by ABBA. Among the other picks were songs by Bon Jovi, Paul Simon, Ricky Martin, Elton John, and the Proclaimers.
