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 became Crowded House's biggest international hit, reaching No. 2 on the Billboard Hot 100 in April 1987 and No. 1 in Canada and New Zealand. [1] Its music video, directed by Alex Proyas with surreal effects like shattering crockery and floating film reels, earned the band a Best New Artist award and nominations at the 1987 MTV Video Music Awards. [2] The recording features backing vocals from Joe Satriani among its studio personnel. [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.
