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
Johnny Cash's recording added mariachi-style horns after Cash said he dreamed of the song accompanied by 'Mexican horns,' a sound that marked a departure from his basic style. [1] The recording features Mother Maybelle and the Carter Sisters singing harmony alongside Cash. [2] Cash's version was inducted into the Grammy Hall of Fame in 1999 and was certified gold by the RIAA in 2010. [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.

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.
