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 track features the Sweet Inspirations—Cissy Houston, Sylvia Shemwell, Estelle Brown and Myrna Smith—on backing vocals. [1] It received 10 million US radio air plays by 2011, one of only ten songs registered with BMI to reach that mark, and as of 2015 was the most downloaded and most played song of the entire 1960s decade. [2] It was inducted into the Grammy Hall of Fame in January 2007 and ranked No. 110 on Rolling Stone's list of the 500 Greatest Songs of All Time. [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.
