Why it's here

"Runaway," AURORA's 2015 debut single, returned to global charts in April 2021 after a TikTok filter and dance built around the song, lifting it 130-49 on the Billboard Global 200 and 99-34 on Billboard Global Excl. U.S. [1] For the song's tenth anniversary in February 2025, AURORA released a reworked orchestral version of "Runaway" alongside a documentary about the track, "Portrait Of A Song." [2] The track was also re-pressed as a limited blue marble 7" single released on 7 March 2025 via Decca, paired with an acoustic piano version. [3]

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.

City pickups

City charts record their parent country as the market, so these do not add to the market count above. One line per country: how many of its rooms picked the song up, and the best of them.
