Crazy Train

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

The song's guitar solo was voted the 9th-greatest guitar solo ever by readers of Guitar World magazine. [1] It has been used as the walk-out entrance song for Premier League club Aston Villa F.C. and the NFL's New England Patriots. [2] Rolling Stone ranked the song number six on its 2023 list of the 100 greatest heavy metal songs. [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.
