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
MTV ranked its video number 1 on its "Top 300 Videos of All Time" countdown in May 1991. [1] VH1 ranked the song number 2 on its list of the "100 Greatest Songs of the '80s" in 2006. [2] It's the only Def Leppard song to get significant adult contemporary airplay despite never charting on the AC charts. [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.
