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 studio recording features guitar feedback spliced onto the intro by Michael Monarch and an extra chorus edited in by engineer Bill Cooper. [1] In the Star Trek universe, this song is played by Zefram Cochrane during warp flight test launches, including the first warp flight scene in Star Trek: First Contact. [2] It reached number one in Canada on the RPM Top Singles chart. [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.
