Why it's here

"Sex on Fire" was released on 11 August 2008 as a single from Kings of Leon's album Only by the Night and reached No. 1 on the UK singles chart, the band's biggest-selling single. [1] Kings of Leon were in the middle of a 2026 live run in the weeks before 7 August 2026, performing "Sex on Fire" at the InMusic Festival in Zagreb on 24 June 2026, footage of which was posted the following day. [2] That run included a UK tour in July 2026, for which the band announced its support acts in November 2025, alongside 2026 festival billings such as Austin City Limits on 11 October 2026. [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.
