THE ROLLING STONES Released Single ‘WILD HORSES’ (Only In The USA) Today 55 Years Ago

Top singles from the past

12 June 2026

THE ROLLING STONES are about to release their 25th LP
Foreign Tongues, but let’s go back in time, more than half
a century, actually.

Today, 55 years ago, on 12 June 1971, they released the song
WILD HORSES (more than 400 million streams on Spotify), in
the US, not in the UK

It was the 3rd single from their classic LP Sticky Fingers.

Earlier that year, Marianne Faithfull overdosed on sleeping pills.
When she woke up, she told Mick Jagger, “Wild horses wouldn’t drag
me away
“.

Mick recalled, “Everyone always says this was written about Marianne, but I don’t
think it was; that was all well over by then. But I was definitely very inside this piece emotionally.”

The music originated, allegedly, as a lullaby Richards was writing for his newborn son.

Keith Richards said, “If there is a classic way of Mick and me working together this is it.
I had the riff and chorus line, Mick got stuck into the verses. Just like ‘Satisfaction’, ‘Wild Horses’ was about the usual thing of not wanting to be on the road, being a million miles from where you want to be.”

THE ROLLING STONES – Timeless Single ‘PAINT IT, BLACK’ Topped UK Charts This Day 60 Years Ago

Top singles from the past

26 May 2026

THE ROLLING STONES topped the UK Singles Chart with their
single PAINT IT, BLACK 60 years ago today, on 26 May 1966.

A haunting, dark, and ominous masterstroke with Indian,
Middle Eastern,
and Eastern European influences and lyrics
about grief and loss. The Stones at their mystical best.

It also hit the top spot in the US
and in several countries in Europe.

I see a red door and I want it painted black
No colors anymore I want them to turn black
I see the girls walk by dressed in their summer clothes
I have to turn my head until my darkness goes

THE ROLLING STONES Topped The US Charts With Their Reggae-Juiced Album ‘BLACK AND BLUE’ Today 50 Years Ago

18 May 2026

THE ROLLING STONES are all over the internet with their forthcoming album,
their 25th, named Foreign Tongues. But today we take a look back in the past.

Their 13th, baptized BLACK AND BLUE was one of their No. 1 albums in their
looooong career. It topped the US Charts on 18 May 1976, today 50 years ago.

It was the first with Ronnie Wood, after previous guitarist Mick Taylor left.

The record runs a stylistic gamut from hard rock and funk to reggae,
blues, soft rock and also reflects the popularity of disco at the time.

Rolling Stone Magazine magazine wrote at the time: “The Stones have problems.
Keith Richard has seemed to run out of melodic ideas and, like the majority of their
post-Exile on Main Street repertoire, the new numbers are based on loose riffs rather
than tight song structures.

Consequently, the music lacks energy. Like the Who or any rock band, the Stones are obsessed in their way with age and time, but unlike the rest, they’ve matured with confident gracefulness. For Soul Survivors, I guess, dying before you get old is simply not relevant.”

TUTV: One of my favorite summer albums.
Simple but sticky tunes. Cocktail music for
hot stuff days.

Finally, after mysterious global teaser campaigns, indestructible rock heroes
THE ROLLING STONES revealed the cover and release date for their upcoming,

THE ROLLING STONES Released Drugs-Fueled Rock Classic ‘STICKY FINGERS’ Today 55 Years Ago

Signicificant longplayers from yesteryear

23 April 2026

Rock giants THE ROLLING STONES released their 9th album,
titled STICKY FINGERS on 23 April 1971, today 55 years ago.

It topped the charts in the UK, US, Canada
and several European countries.


Back sleeve

AllMusic/Stephen Thomas Erlewine wrote in retrospect: “Pieced together
from outtakes and much-labored-over songs, Sticky Fingers manages to have a
loose, ramshackle ambience that belies both its origins and the dark
undercurrents of the songs.

It’s a weary, drug-laden album, well over half the songs explicitly mention
drug use, while the others merely allude to it. With its offhand mixture of
decadence, roots music, and outright malevolence, Sticky Fingers set the
tone for the rest of the decade for the Stones.”
