Forever Young

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

Alphaville's "Forever Young," released as a single on 20 September 1984, is documented as a fixture of US high-school graduation and prom ceremonies, which keeps it in rotation as a standards-lane catalogue title rather than a news-driven entry. [1] The song's chorus was sampled by Jay-Z featuring Mr Hudson on "Young Forever," from The Blueprint 3, giving the 1984 recording a second, hip-hop-era point of entry for listeners. [2] Alphaville's soundtrack credits include Napoleon Dynamite (2004) and Burlesque (2010), and a David Guetta, Alphaville and Ava Max version of "Forever Young" is listed among the act's credits, adding recurring screen and remake exposure.

In culture

Every place this record has lived. A solid chip states a fact and carries the citation that earns it; a dashed one is a connection somebody drew, and carries their name instead.
