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 reached number one in multiple countries including Australia, Canada, Denmark, Ireland, and the United Kingdom, and became a top five hit in the US, showing its broad international pull. [1] It earned nominations for Monster Single of the Year at the MTV Video Music Awards and Producer of the Year (Non-Classical) at the 50th Annual Grammy Awards. [2] The music video, directed by Shane Drake and filmed in Salford, England, features an extended edit with an extra verse from Timbaland's brother Sebastian and rapper D.O.E. [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.
