Momentum

This song has not appeared on a Rotation chart, so it has no score and no receipts. The rank history below is the ledger; a score is only published once the momentum run puts it on a chart.

Why it's here

A Las Vegas jury convicted Duane "Keffe D" Davis of first-degree murder in Tupac Shakur's 1996 killing on August 31, 2026, returning the rapper's catalog to global news coverage in the weeks that followed. [1] The chart week ends September 13, 2026, the 30th anniversary of Shakur's death from gunshot wounds suffered in a Las Vegas drive-by shooting on September 7, 1996. [2] "Violent" is an anti-police-brutality track from Shakur's 1991 debut album 2Pacalypse Now, the record that drew a public condemnation from then-Vice President Dan Quayle. [3]
