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 became the Who's only international number-one hit, topping the Canadian RPM Top Singles chart. [1] It was written for a planned 1974 Who television special in which the band would be surrounded by 100 topless women playing accordions. [2] The track features Pete Townshend on banjo and accordion, giving it a country-inflected sound unusual among the band's hits. [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.
