Fiat has compiled the "happiest car playlist" on Spotify
This year Fiat decided to please not only with new models, but also with music. In honour of the 70th anniversary of the legendary Fiat 600 and the launch of the new Grande Panda, the brand presented "The World's Happiest Car Playlist" - "the happiest car playlist in the world" - on Spotify.
Here's What We Know
Psychologist and music expert Dr Claire Renfrew was involved in the creation of the selection. She says songs that evoke feelings of joy usually have several factors in common: a 4/4 rhythm, a tempo of at least 137 beats per minute, positive lyrics with a simple repetitive structure and a melody using a major septacord. All together, she says, form a "scientific formula for happiness".
The playlist includes 30 tracks ranging from classics to modern hits. Among them are songs by The Beatles, The Beach Boys, Pharrell Williams, Dua Lipa, Taylor Swift and other artists. According to Renfrew, listening to these songs on the road with friends or family can stimulate the production of dopamine, the pleasure hormone.

Fiat claims that the brand's cars are not just transport, but part of the experience of life. So whether it's a city drive in a hybrid Fiat 600 or a summer road trip in a Grande Panda, the playlist should be as colourful as the road itself.
