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

Written by Lindsey Buckingham as a raw, stream-of-consciousness response to his breakup with bandmate Stevie Nicks, the song's blunt lyrics like 'packing up, shacking up' caused real friction between the two. [1] It became Fleetwood Mac's first top-ten hit in the United States, reaching #10 on the Billboard Hot 100. [2] The drum part, inspired by the Rolling Stones' 'Street Fighting Man,' was built through an unusual collaborative process where Buckingham guided Mick Fleetwood's playing, and the guitar solo was pieced together from six different takes. [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.
