Music can\u2019t cure the virus, nor can it replace whatever or whomever we are grieving during this time. What music can<\/em> do is offer a brief reprieve, and the right song can transport you to a happier place. With that in mind, here\u2019s the first installment in Rolling Stone<\/em>\u2018s new weekly playlist<\/a> series, \u201cMusic at Home\u201d: 10 pop classics, new and old, meant to spark joy in a \u201cbreak glass in case of emergency\u201d situation. Listen below, and you\u2019ll find it hard to avoid smiling \u2014 or, if you\u2019re feeling up for it, dancing \u2014 as soon as the music begins. <\/p>\n

Carly Rae Jepsen<\/a>, \u201cRun Away With Me\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

Scientists have determined that it is impossible not <\/em>to feel like your soul is levitating out of your body the minute you hear the triumphant horns that launch this Emotion <\/em>track. <\/p>\n

Fleetwood Mac<\/a>, \u201cEverywhere\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

This sparkling Tango in the Night <\/em>highlight has Christine McVie firing on all of her pop cylinders. Like all of Fleetwood Mac\u2019s best Eighties songs, it sounds like you\u2019re skipping through an enchanted forest. <\/p>\n

Kygo & Whitney Houston, \u201cHigher Love\u201d<\/strong> <\/p>\n

For Houston superfans, her cover of the Steve Winwood hit was a gem lost to time. Thankfully, Kygo added his signature trop-pop sound to the freshly unearthed cover in 2019 without comprising another transcendent vocal performance from one of history\u2019s best singers.  <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Dua Lipa<\/a>, \u201cDon\u2019t Start Now\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

Really fun quarantine game: challenge yourself to see how long you can sit still while listening to Dua Lipa\u2019s empower-pop disco turn. The trick to winning is to actually lose the challenge. <\/p>\n

Janet Jackson<\/a>, \u201cSomeone to Call My Lover\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

Jackson\u2019s All for You<\/em> is a true sunshine-pop masterpiece, but her romantically hopeful reworking of America\u2019s \u201cVentura Highway\u201d will leave your heart feeling like it\u2019s been painted gold. <\/p>\n

MGMT, \u201cKids\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

Let those heavy, wavy synths cover you like a weighted blanket. Kid Cudi had the right idea<\/a> when he was vibing out to another classic Oracular Spectacular<\/em> track during MGMT\u2019s Coachella set many moons ago. <\/p>\n

Rihanna feat. Calvin Harris, \u201cWe Found Love\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

Blasting this EDM classic at full volume might<\/em> piss off your neighbors \u2014 but it will<\/em> make you feel like you\u2019re in a club, surrounded by friends, finding love in a hopeless place. <\/p>\n

The Killers, \u201cMr. Brightside\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

Miss karaoke? Screaming along to the Killers\u2019 signature song on a Zoom call with friends will be a quick fix for that. <\/p>\n

One Direction<\/a>, \u201cOne Thing\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

There is no bad mood a boy band can\u2019t fix. This early hit from the gone but never forgotten 1D is sweet enough to take your mind off the state of the world for a little more than three minutes. <\/p>\n

Gigi D\u2019Agostino, \u201cL\u2019amour toujours\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

This Italo dance classic is so delightful that even its usage immediately after the particularly brutal climax of Uncut Gems <\/em>this year couldn\u2019t diminish its sheer joy. <\/p>\n
