cyberjudge Posted May 3, 2011 Report Share Posted May 3, 2011 The Rolling Stones' 1st US single was coincidentally also "Not Fade Away" in 1964. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brad_M Posted May 4, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 4, 2011 CJ, If you were just stating that as a bit of trivia, then yes, that is so. That song was their first single released in the U.S. If you were stating it as to why it wasn't accepted as a correct answer, it is because the question didn't specify "in the U.S." In this case, "first single" would be a band's very first single released, no matter what country it was released in, eliminating The Rolling Stones as a correct answer.

cyberjudge Posted May 5, 2011 Report Share Posted May 5, 2011 I assumed that the reason you didn't have it listed was because it was not their 1st single ever, but I wasn't sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
