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
It topped the United Kingdom Rock Chart, becoming Paramore's most successful single from Brand New Eyes. [1] The song earned a Grammy nomination for Best Pop Performance by a Duo or Group with Vocals. [2] Hayley Williams said her relationship with the song changed after her vocal coach had her look at bandmate Taylor York while singing it during the 2024 Eras Tour run. [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.
