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's lyrics were inspired by the singing trio I Threes, who Marley began calling his 'Three Little Birds' after shows. [1] It appears on Bob Marley and the Wailers' 1977 album Exodus. [2]
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.

Worldwide feeds · not markets
A source's own worldwide chart. These are feeds, not places, so they are kept out of the market count above.

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.
