A deep cut from OK Computer is broadly charting today, appearing across 142 country and platform charts nearly three decades after Radiohead recorded it at 3 AM in a St Catherine's Court ballroom, per Genius. Never released as a single, the track has built its reputation slowly through sync — most memorably its placement over the season-one finale of The Bear, a scene fans still single out as the show's most devastating musical cue. That usage helped seed a wave of TikTok edits built around the song's arpeggiated multi-layered guitars and dissociative lyrics, from JoJo AMVs to earnest close-readings of its meaning. Its emotional register — hushed, technical, quietly annihilating — has made it a durable soundtrack for melancholy montage. The current spread is one of its widest simultaneous chart showings.
