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 Taylor Swift with Jack Antonoff and St. Vincent, who also played guitar on the track. [1] After being featured in the second act of Swift's Eras Tour, the song surged in popularity, prompting Republic Records to release it as a single to contemporary hit radio on June 20, 2023. [2] It became Swift's tenth number-one single on the Billboard Hot 100, spending four non-consecutive weeks at number one and making her the first female artist to reclaim the top spot twice and thrice. [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.
