Run to You

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 was written for The Bodyguard soundtrack and was completely rewritten from a break-up song into a love song at director Mick Jackson's request, with only the title kept. [1] It earned Houston an Academy Award nomination for Best Original Song alongside its soundtrack-mate 'I Have Nothing', though both lost to 'A Whole New World' from Aladdin. [2] AllMusic's Stephen Thomas Erlewine praised it as a 'first-rate urban pop song that skillfully captures Houston at her best.' [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.
