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
The song built its sound around one of the earliest uses of the Roland CR-78 drum machine in popular music, fused with live drumming, guitars, and Roland SH-5 and Minimoog synthesizers. [1] It was inducted into the Grammy Hall of Fame in 2015 as a recording of 'qualitative or historical significance', and Rolling Stone ranked it among its 500 greatest songs of all time. [2] Recorded with producer Mike Chapman at the Record Plant, the track pushed the New York punk/new wave band Blondie into disco territory, drawing accusations of 'selling out' before becoming a chart-topping hit. [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
