IN 1982 JOAN JETT AND THE BLACKHEARTS STARTED A SEVEN WEEK RUN AT #1 ON THE U.S. SINGLES CHART WITH “I LOVE ROCK ‘N’ ROLL”. MANY DON’T REALIZE THAT THE SONG IS ACTUALLY A COVER OF A B-SIDE BY ’60S BAND THE ARROWS.
TODAY IN 2000 METALLICA RELEASE THE SINGLE “NO LEAF CLOVER” FROM THEIR LIVE ALBUM ‘S&M’. IT WAS THE BAND’S FOURTH NO. 1 HIT ON THE BILLBOARD’S MAINSTREAM ROCK TRACKS CHART.
AND IN 2008 EAGLES KICK OFF A 161-DATE WORLD TOUR IN SUPPORT OF THEIR ALBUM ‘LONG ROAD OUT OF EDEN’ WITH A SHOW AT THE O2 ARENA IN LONDON
