Why it's here
"Hey Ya!" is a long-running catalog staple rather than a new release: it spent nine weeks at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 after reaching the top on December 13, 2003, and won Best Urban/Alternative Performance at the 46th Grammy Awards in February 2004. [1] It has continued to re-enter the UK Official Singles Chart in 2026, logging placings on the charts dated 08/01/2026, 09/04/2026, 16/04/2026, 04/06/2026 and 11/06/2026. [2] Its profile was refreshed in mid-2026 by press coverage of the song's construction and lyrics, including a Billboard-derived ranking of its "shake it like a Polaroid picture" bridge as the best bridge of all time and a June 13, 2026 feature on the bleak message beneath the upbeat track.

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.
