Why it's here

Journey spent 2026 on its farewell "Final Frontier" tour, and on August 18, 2026 the band was reported preparing for the tour's last leg, which begins in September 2026. [1] The 1981 single, which peaked at No. 9 on the Billboard Hot 100, became a catalog fixture after David Chase used it in the June 2007 series finale of "The Sopranos," with iTunes downloads jumping from about 1,000 the day of the episode to 6,531 the day after. [2] The RIAA has certified "Don't Stop Believin'" 18x Platinum, the highest certification for any song first released before the digital era. [3]

Worldwide feeds · not markets

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.
