#1 NFL Touchdown Song

The greatest NFL touchdown songs were ranked during a recent survey. The research, conducted by JustGamblers, an athletic betting specialist, produced an index rating by examining the information that Spotify provides to categorize songs.

The index score looks at danceability, energy, loudness, and valence, or how joyful or sad a song is, to decide which song is the greatest.

The New Orleans Saints' "When The Saints Go Marching In" by Fats Domino received 79.23 out of a total 100 points, ranking #1 in the study. The song was initially recorded by the Paramount Jubilee Singers in mid-November 1923, and Fats Domino, a native of New Orleans, contributed to its mainstreaming and popularization.

The study says this song has become the highest favorable on the list, giving it a 10 out of 10 for valence. In addition, the song receives ratings of 6.06, 8.08, and 7.56 for danceability, energy, and loudness.
