Which Rolling Stones song was their first major US hit?
The Rolling Stones’ first real breakthrough in America came with “(I Can’t Get No) Satisfaction” in 1965. While they’d had some earlier chart action—“Time Is on My Side” hit the Top 10 in 1964—it was “Satisfaction” that knocked the Beatles off the #1 spot and turned the Stones into global superstars.
The song charted in June 1965, hit #1 on the Billboard Hot 100 on July 10, and stayed there for four weeks. It remains their most recognizable anthem and the track that defined their bad-boy image for American audiences.
