Singles Happy End Rarity

  1. Happy End Movie

It’s been a good while since pure joy has won as big as it did today on the Hot 100, with Pharrell Williams’ “Happy” finally landing atop the chart. As noted earlier, Bobby McFerrin’s “Don’t Worry, Be Happy” is the last song with the word “Happy” in its title to bow at the apex of the Hot 100.

That fun fact demands that the other “Happy” and “Happiness”-incorporated jams reveal themselves for proper re-acknowledgment. A good bit of them are from yesteryear. Apparently, the world was a more cheery place in the ‘50s and ‘60s. Give them a looksee below—from Pharrell to Sheryl Crow, R.E.M. to Al Green and some acts your parents may have boogied to, here are the top 20 'Happy' songs ever. And don't let that word fool you; there are a few singles on here that aren't as peachy as their title suggests.

Songs are ranked based on an inverse point system, with weeks at No. 1 earning the greatest value and weeks at No. 100 earning the least.

Compilation albums32
EPs10
Singles78

The Kinks were active for over three decades between 1964 and 1996, releasing 28 regular albums in the UK (24 studio, four live),[1] and 30 in the USA (24 studio, four live, two compilation), where the early albums were slightly different from the British albums partly due to the method that publishing royalties were calculated in the two countries,[2] partly due to difference in popularity of the extended play format (the UK market liked it, the US market didn't, so US albums had the EP releases bundled onto them), and partly due to the US albums including the hit singles, and the UK albums not; after The Kink Kontroversy in 1965 the albums were the same.[3] There have been somewhere between 100 and 200 compilation albums released worldwide.[4][5][6] Their hit singles included three UK number-one singles, starting in 1964 with 'You Really Got Me'; plus 18 Top 40 singles in the 1960s alone and further Top 40 hits in the 1970s and 1980s.
