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
"Mr. Blue Sky" is a 1977 Jeff Lynne composition from ELO's album Out of the Blue, issued as a single in January 1978 and reaching No. 6 on the UK singles chart. [1] The song scores the opening title sequence of Marvel's Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 (2017) and has also been used in films including Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, keeping it in circulation on catalogue and radio playlists decades after release.

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.
