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 Rod Temperton and produced by Barry Blue, the track reached number 7 on the Billboard Hot 100 and number 3 on the Hot Soul Singles chart, earning it a RIAA Platinum certification in 2001. [1] The song was sampled by Public Enemy on "Sophisticated Bitch" from their 1987 album Yo! Bum Rush the Show. [2]
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.
