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

"Zombie" was written by Dolores O'Riordan as a protest song about the 1993 IRA bombing in Warrington, England, and released in September 1994 as the lead single from The Cranberries' album No Need to Argue. [1] In April 2020 the song's official video passed one billion YouTube views, making The Cranberries the first Irish band to reach that mark and the video one of only a handful from the 1990s to do so. [2] Island issued a 30th-anniversary super deluxe edition of No Need to Argue in 2025 that includes a 2025 remaster of "Zombie," a previously unreleased demo of the song, and a new remix by Iain Cook of CHVRCHES. [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.

A source's own worldwide chart. These are feeds, not places, so they are kept out of the market count above.

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.
