Bob Marley & The Wailers — Three Little Birds

Marley's three-chord reassurance is broadly charting again today, tracked across 84 country and platform charts after a month away. The reggae standard from 1977's Exodus has accumulated more than 1.4 billion plays on Spotify, buoyed in recent years by the biopic Bob Marley: One Love, whose soundtrack included a Kacey Musgraves cover of the song. Its placements run deep: the track soundtracked the sixth episode of Ted Lasso's third season, per Songfacts, and has become a terrace anthem for Dutch club Ajax. Built on a near-childlike melody and a single sustained sentiment, it remains one of the most durable pieces of comfort-pop ever recorded — a song that resurfaces whenever the collective mood needs steadying.
