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

Gavin Rossdale wrote the song in 1993 about his then-girlfriend Suze DeMarchi, feeling the song came together with an almost mystical, bigger-than-himself quality. [1] The song reached number one on the Modern Rock Tracks chart for two weeks in December 1995 and became Bush's biggest pop hit to date on the Billboard Hot 100. [2] Its music video, shot quickly on tour due to expiring visas, was highly acclaimed and won the MTV Video Music Award Viewer's Choice Award while also being nominated for Best Alternative Video in 1996. [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.
