Stay While it just misses the second list above, Maurice Williams & the Zodiacs' “Stay” is the shortest No. 1: just 1:38 in length. The classic led the Nov. 21, 1960, Hot 100.

Read More »As previously reported, Piko-Taro makes history on the latest Billboard Hot 100 (dated Oct. 29): With its debut at No. 77, his novelty viral hit “PPAP (Pen-Pineapple-Apple-Pen)” is the shortest song – just 45 seconds in length – ever to reach the chart, according to Paul Haney of Record Research (which has released more than 150 chart reference books by its founder, historian Joel Whitburn). In honor of the achievement, Haney further tallied the five longest and five shortest Hot 100 entries all-time, dating to the chart’s Aug. 4, 1958, inception. (He only had to sift through the nearly 27,000 titles that have ever appeared on the chart.) Here’s a look at the longest and shortest songs to hit the Hot 100, a recap that, notably, adds to the legacy of late icon David Bowie, whose “Blackstar” clocks in at a record-long 9:57. With the song having charted on the Jan. 30 list, at No. 78, and “PPAP” arriving on the Oct. 29 tally, the marks for both longest and shortest Hot 100 hits have been rewritten in 2016. And, it’s perhaps unsurprising that “Blackstar” and “PPAP” are the record-breakers: Bowie served up a song in the tradition of lengthy, airy progressive rock (accompanied by its mini-movie video), while Piko-Taro released a goof track ideal for short attention-span viral viewing.

Songs like "Walking on Sunshine," by Katrina and the Waves, and "Here Comes the Sun," by the Beatles, might even inspire you to soak up some vitamin D outdoors.
According to research done by Harvard Medical School, music can have a myriad of positive effects on the brain, from keeping people relaxed during medical procedures to improving exercise endurance. In short, when you're feeling blue, a happy song can work wonders, infusing joy into your day. Some of these upbeat tracks are rapturous love songs about the wonderful sensation of knowing you're wanted (Beyoncé's "Love On Top," Ric Wilson's "Yellowbrick"). Others focus on the exhilaration that can be gained from persevering through adversity (Kelly Clarkson's "Stronger," Swift's "Shake It Off"). And, of course, we've included pop songs about how good it feels to...feel good (Pharrell's "Happy"). Some of these happy songs even emulate the carefree freedom of a great road trip (CRUISR's "Go For It," Cyndi Lauper's "Girls Just Want to Have Fun"). Songs like "Walking on Sunshine," by Katrina and the Waves, and "Here Comes the Sun," by the Beatles, might even inspire you to soak up some vitamin D outdoors. As world news continues on its pessimistic trajectory, we're all working hard to keep our outlook cheery. With all the anxiety and stress we're facing on a daily basis, one of the things we should regularly prioritize is our happiness. But let's face it: Sometimes we could use some help in this department. Our recommendation? Take a look at these songs, turn on your favorite pump up track, and turn up the volume to get the party started, even if it's for a party of one.
