A lot of people listen to music to relax and de-stress, so a new survey asked people which songs they turn on to keep calm. It's worth noting: The survey was done in Britain . . . but the Top 10 songs are popular in the states too.

"What a Wonderful World" by Louis Armstrong tops a list of 30 songs people play to keep calm. "Let It Be"by The Beatles is #2 . . . followed by "Your Song" by Elton John.

Here they are:

1. "What A Wonderful World", Louis Armstrong

2. "Let It Be", The Beatles

3. "Your Song", Elton John

4. "Someone Like You", Adele

5. "Hello", Adele

6. "Fix You", Coldplay

7. "I Say A Little Prayer", Aretha Franklin

8. "Orinoco Flow", Enya

9. "Morning Has Broken", Cat Stevens

10. "It's a Beautiful Day", U2

Classical and pop are the most popular genres to help people relax. (For more info, hit up this link. It also includes the full Top 30. But again, it definitely does have its British moments.)

Hey It’s Ryan, let me start off by saying…YES, I was born and raised in Wixom, Michigan although a lot of listeners like to joke that I am from Arizona. WCSX has always been my radio home, I have been at the station since I was a 23-year-old intern, co-host of Big Jim’s House, married with kids. Family and radio are what I love, but don’t get me started on golf! Like some, I have become obsessed with golf and you can hear all about that on “The Ball Washer Pod” right here on WCSX. One of my other passions is helping out the Vets. Since coming to WCSX I have been apart of raising hundreds of thousands for local vet groups. Other than that, I am a goofy guy, loving life, my family and talking to you on the radio. Ryan writes about golf, family and what happens on “Big Jim’s House.”
