Congratulations
Like A Rolling Stone, as it was their biggest post-'83 UK hit.
Also, Mixed Emotions (though unfortunately I think Mick would struggle to perform it nightly these days).
Was it a bigger hit than Harlem Shuffle? #5 in the US, #1 in New Zealand and #3 in the European Hot 100 charts.

Harlem Shuffle was a UK #13, Like A Rolling Stone got to #12... and Undercover Of The Night was #11. Perhaps all 3 would make great choices... anything but You Got Me Rocking!!

There are a number of 60’s hits and well-known ‘Brian-era’ recordings that are rarely played, or never at all. Many of these have warhorse potential, or, at least, deserve more regular exposure on stage: Heart of Stone, It’s All Over Now, The Last Time, etc. Time is on My Side is, in my opinion, long overdue for a comeback. Why She’s a Rainbow – one of their most well-known numbers – is performed so sporadically, is a mystery, also.

If we're talking about '60s hits, this one needs reviving:

Disagree. I think it is an alright creative 80's style re-interptetation, not like a typical nostalgic 'I hope this is enough close to the original that your grandmama recognizes it and is not hurt by it'.
Mick wasn't into pure nostalgia yet then.
To be true, this is one of those songs the Stones shouldn't even try to play now. Its energy and wildness is totally out of their scope these days. It is young man's attitude rock and roll by definition.

Fully agree with you, Doxa. But this is Jagger solo, and some people here despise that per se, no matter what and whenever someone posts something positive about whatever Jagger solo subject - it's just a psychological thing that has nothing to do with the actual music, so in the end reacting to them is just wasted energy. Just the usual suspects doing their usual thing(y).

Correct, Jimmy Rip! Never heard of him before that show, but I was so impressed that I looked him up after it. I even bought his solo album a couple years later, and if I remember correctly, Mick appears on a track or two, perhaps backup vox or maybe harp, I'll have to dig that up.

It was #1 on the iTunes chart, hence the reason for its inclusion. I don't know how iTunes compares to Billboard. I'd think in this day and age that, given the number of folks who listen digitally vs. can even buy a hard-copy physical release, that this chart would matter more. What's more, a great amount of fuss was made about it being the Stones first #1 in 40 years. For these reasons, I included it.

To put it this way - #1 on iTunes does not translate to #1 on Billboard. It can certainly coincide but it does not dictate how Billboard charts songs or albums.
What was it on the Spotify singles chart? Or Amazon singles chart? Tidal? iHeart? Etc. See how that is?
Billboard encompasses ALL but not equally. Streaming, especially a package deal like Apple Music etc, x amount a month, doesn't get counted the same as a (purchased) single or album sale.

OK fair point. I'll remove it from the list. It did reach #3 on Billboard - their highest charting song since SMU. Higher than Mixed Emotions even!!!
