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, which took Tom Scholz five years to complete, features a guitar solo that unusually incorporates mordents and inverted mordents more typically used in baroque music. [1] It has been recognized on the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame's list of '500 Songs That Shaped Rock and Roll' and ranked number 212 on Rolling Stone's '500 Greatest Songs of All Time' in 2021. [2] It was made available as a playable track in the Rock Band video game series and covered for the original Guitar Hero soundtrack. [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.

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.
