The Rolling Stones hit #1 with “Brown Sugar,” the opening track and lead single from their ninth studio album, Sticky Fingers.
The tune, written by Mick Jagger and Keith Richards, spent two weeks at #1 in the U.S., but failed to reach the top spot in the U.K., peaking at #2.
Previously a staple at The Stones’ live shows, in 2021 the band announced they’d be removing the song from their set list, reportedly due to the tune’s controversial lyrics.
