Freed From Desire

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

On 2 August 2026 Gala appeared as a surprise guest at Peggy Gou's London day party at the Old Royal Naval College to perform "Freed From Desire" live, as reported on 4 August 2026. [1] The 1996 track is a stadium staple: RTÉ reported during the 2026 World Cup that its "na-na-na" hook was being sung in the stands, a football afterlife that began when Wigan Athletic fan Sean Kennedy posted the "Will Grigg's on fire" version in May 2016 and Northern Ireland supporters carried it through UEFA Euro 2016. [2] Gala re-recorded the song in October 2024 via Ministry of Sound/B1 Recordings, released with a Diplo remix, to reclaim rights and royalties she says the original contract denied her. [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.

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.
