JOAN JETT - I Love Rock 'N Roll #484

Written by: Jake Hooker, Alan Merrill
Produced by: KENNY LAGUNA
Released: Jan. '82 on Boardwalk
Charts: 20 weeks
Top spot: No. 1
Attempting to jump-start a solo career after her stint in teenage rock band the RUNAWAYS, Jett was turned down by twenty-three record labels as she shopped around the demo tape to "I Love Rock 'N Roll." She finally cut the song for tiny Boardwalk Records, but that label's execs weren't sure that Jett's riff-rocker was a hit -- she was able to buy the radio rights to the track for $2,500. Today, Jett is a girl-rock icon and the song is worth nearly $20 million.
