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 by Dennis DeYoung while depressed after Styx's first two A&M albums sold fewer units than expected following the success of 'Lady'. [1] Cash Box praised the track's contrast between a solitary voice with light piano accompaniment and a subsequent explosion of drums, guitar and vocals. [2] Billboard ranked 'Come Sail Away' number one on its list of the 10 greatest Styx 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.
