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 topped Billboard's R&B chart for nine weeks and was named the biggest R&B single of the year, while also hitting No. 1 on the Hot 100 and ranking as Billboard's second biggest single of 1965. [1] It was written and produced by Motown's Holland–Dozier–Holland team, with lead vocals by Levi Stubbs backed by the other Tops and the Andantes, and instrumentation by the Funk Brothers plus the Detroit Symphony Orchestra's strings. [2] Rolling Stone ranked the song at No. 483 on its list of The 500 Greatest Songs of All Time. [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.
