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 track was recorded in mono with a single microphone and almost no editing after Ben Gibbard began playing it impromptu while a headphone issue was being fixed during vocal tracking for another song. [1] It was nominated for the 2007 Grammy Award for Best Pop Performance by a Duo or Group with Vocals. [2] The song was certified double platinum by the RIAA and is Death Cab for Cutie's best-selling single to date. [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.
