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 Turtles recorded the song at Sunset Sound, the studio also used by emerging artists like the Doors, with bassist Chip Douglas arranging the horns and backing vocals for the track. [1] The song's structure is praised for one of the most effective minor-to-major key switches, moving from F-sharp minor verses to F-sharp major choruses via a Picardy third outro. [2] In 1999 BMI named it the 44th most-performed song in the United States of the 20th century with about five million American radio performances, and in 2007 it was inducted into the Grammy Hall of Fame. [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.
