The Most Popular Car Songs of All Time

Driving can be stressful regardless of how (in) experienced a driver is. Heavy traffic and unpredictable situations can cause stress, which will eventually take its toll on the driver.

Listening to music releases dopamine, the happiness hormone.

Studies have shown that most drivers prefer music rather than silence. They become more relaxed and their enjoyment increases. Some say that music helps keep them be more alert on longer journeys.
