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 guest vocals by Crystal Blake and bass guitar by Red Hot Chili Peppers member Flea, both of whom also appear in the music video. [1] It won the 1990 Grammy Award for Best Rap Performance and was certified Platinum in the US by January 1990. [2] The song has appeared in numerous films and shows, including Uncle Buck, The Blind Side, and Up in the Air, where Young MC himself cameos performing it. [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.
