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 was written and recorded in under an hour after the group spent thirty minutes chanting, rapping and singing sections that were then stitched together. [1] It won British Single of the Year at the 1997 Brit Awards and Best Selling British-Written Single at the 1997 Ivor Novello Awards. [2] A 2014 study found it the most recognisable pop song of the last 60 years among young English speakers. [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.
