I track Apple Music's weekly top 100 charts across 30 countries. The Chain is having a moment: it went from 87 to 53 in the UK this week, entered the Dutch chart at 78, and is also sitting on the charts in Australia, Ireland and New Zealand. A 1977 song on five countries' top 100s in the same week is the kind of thing I usually only see in December.

It's been lurking around the bottom of the UK chart for weeks (80, then 87), so this week's jump is a real acceleration, not a one-off blip. My first guess was F1 coverage since the riff is basically the sport's theme in the UK, but chart data alone can't tell me where the streams come from. Anyone seen what set it off?

Happy to pull any country's full chart if anyone wants it.
