AUCKLAND, Today: Coast FM is bringing back its iconic Feel Good 500 this June — the ultimate listener-voted countdown of the happiest, most uplifting songs ever made.

Running 2–6 June from 9am to 6pm, the Feel Good 500 will air across Coast’s radio and digital platforms, turning up the good vibes all week long.

In a clever twist, real-time digital billboards in Auckland and online display ads will show what song’s playing live — complete with its countdown position.

It’s powered by Adtrek’s slick automation tech, turning every spin into a synchronised, nationwide moment of joy for listeners and passersby alike.

David Brice, Coast Content Director said, “Having real-time billboards really complements what we do on air with the Feel Good 500, making it a multi-sensory brand experience.

“Having the synchronised visual-audio experience builds anticipation and prompts drivers to tune in immediately. I’m sure our loyal listeners will be looking forward to another year of the Coast Feel Good 500 – we’re looking forward to their feedback and engagement.”

Coast Breakfast’s Toni Street added, “Coast’s Feel Good 500 is one of the biggest highlights on our calendar. As we hit the winter months, this is a wonderful way to beat the humdrum with some super uplifting feel-good tunes.”

Street also revealed her top three feel-good picks this year:

  1. Until I Found You – Stephen Sanchez
  2. Dancing Through Life – Jonathan Bailey & Ariana Grande
  3. (What a) Wonderful World – Sam Cooke

Last year’s chart-topper was Bohemian Rhapsody, but 2024 promises to bring just as much joy — with an extra hit of tech-powered interactivity.

Catch the Feel Good 500 on Coast FM or iHeartRadio, and feel every beat, lyric and goosebump in real-time.
