That’s why I included the word “major” in my parenthetical above. I enjoy the Club Play chart for sport, but it’s one of the few remaining corrupt-to-its-core charts left in Billboard, completely controlled by a few dozen surveyed disc jockeys.

Is there anymore of these? Apparently tracks I thought would’ve charted on the Modern Rock Tracks chart (“Insane in the Brain” by Cypress Hill, “Passin’ Me By” by Phracyde, “What’s Golden” by Jurrasic 5) did not chart there.

Oh, and M.I.A. does have another US Chart appearence, “Jimmy” hit #28 on the obscure Billboard Hot Dance Club Play chart last year.
