Keith Richards Once Hated THIS The Rolling Stones Song

Keith Richards once believed that one of The Rolling Stones' songs would never be a hit - but it did.

As a rock band with six decades of career in the music industry, The Rolling Stones have already released chart-topping tracks and albums, which the members carefully selected before giving them to their fans.

However, Richards once thought the band's track "I Can't Get No (Satisfaction)," would flop. The singer said he could not imagine it scoring success across the globe.

But it did.

The Rolling Stones' Song Became Hit Despite Keith Richards Hating It

Richards and Mick Jagger made the hit single, and they released it as a single in the US in June 1965 before including it on the band's studio album, "Out of Our Heads."

In his autobiography "Life," the 79-year-old The Rolling Stones co-founding member noted that he wrote the song in his sleep. He explained why he did not believe it would be successful as their other songs.

"The miracle being that I looked at the cassette player that morning, and I knew I'd put a brand-new tape in the previous night, and I saw it was the end," he said. "It was just a rough idea. There was just the bare bones of the song, and it didn't have that noise, of course, because I was on acoustic."

Jagger shared the detailed reason behind Richards' disapproval in the BBC documentary, "My Life as a Rolling Stone." According to the vocalist, the guitarist told him he did not like it, so it could not be released as a single.

Amid all doubts, the song became No. 1 instantly.

The Rolling Stones "I Can't Get No (Satisfaction)" Awards, Recognitions

Following the release of "I Can't Get No (Satisfaction)," the song immediately became The Rolling Stones' first number one in the US.

On the other hand, it reached No. 4 on the UK despite only playing it on pirate radio stations due to its lyrics about commercialism and sexual frustration.

"I Can't Get No (Satisfaction)" soon grew to become one of the world's most popular songs. It even made it to Rolling Stone's 500 Greatest Songs of All Time decades after its release.

In 2006, the National Recording Registry of the Library of Congress officially added it to its catalog.

The song received several certifications, including Gold from IFPI Danmark, Gold from BVMI, Platinum from FIMI, Platinum from BPI, and Gold from RIAA.
