blues

The Rolling Stones' first UK chart-topper was the cover of "It's All Over Now" in June 1964.

Time is on my side.

Satisfaction

In the US, it was "(I Can't Get No) Satisfaction" The second was "Get Off My Cloud"

Sad Day

I think it was "It's All Over Now"

In June of 1964, the group released their first original single, "Tell Me (You're Coming Back)," which became their first American Top 40 hit. Shortly afterward, a version of Irma Thomas' "Time Is on My Side" became their first U.S. Top Ten. It was followed by "The Last Time" in early 1965, a number one U.K. and Top Ten U.S. hit that began a virtually uninterrupted string of Jagger-Richards hit singles. Still, it wasn't until the group released "(I Can't Get No) Satisfaction" in the summer of 1965 that they were elevated to superstars. Driven by a fuzz-guitar riff designed to replicate the sound of a horn section, "Satisfaction" signaled that Jagger and Richards had come into their own as songwriters, breaking away from their blues roots and developing a signature style of big, bluesy riffs and wry, sardonic lyrics. It stayed at number one for four weeks and began a string of Top Ten singles that ran for the next two years, including such classics as "Get off My Cloud," "19th Nervous Breakdown," "As Tears Go By," and "Have You Seen Your Mother, Baby, Standing in the Shadow?"

not fade away

At first, the Rolling Stones mainly covered other people's music. Their first UK hit was "Come On" written by Chuck Berry with "I Want to Be Loved" by Willie Dixon as the B-side. "Little Red Rooster" by Willie Dixon was their first UK number 1 while "Time is on my side" by Norman Meade was their first US top 10 hit. "Not Fade Away" by Buddy Holly was their first US hit.

However, Mick Jagger and Keith Richards started writing most of the bands material. The first Jagger/Richards charttopper in the UK was "The Last Time" while "(I Can't Get No) Satisfaction" was their first US number 1.

The first Jagger/Richards composition at number 1 in the UK was "The Last Time" in early 1965. The U.S. version of that year's Out of Our Heads LP contained seven original songs, including "(I Can't Get No) Satisfaction" which became the band's first number one in the US where it remained for four weeks in July, and established the Stones as a worldwide premier act.
