How many number ones do The Rolling Stones have in total?
If you had taken a time machine back to London in 1962 and came across the shaggy-haired and ragged looking misfits known as The Rolling Stones, you would be hard-pressed to know for sure if it really were the early ’60s. Apart from their outfits, there was nothing really contemporary about them at this point. Were they from the past or the future? Were they oblivious or did they just not care?
Before The Beatles began developing a national name, the Stones truly thought they were a wholly unique animal and that no other group like them existed. As blues aficionados, it wasn’t like everyone in the London scene was doing what they were at the time.

LL Cool J has been on the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame ballot six since times since 2010. Some fans were starting to fear he’d never get in, especially after latter-day hip-hop acts like Tupac Shakur, N.W.A, and the Notorious B.I.G. started getting in before him. But he’s finally entering the Hall this year as the recipient of the Musical Excellence Award, and taking his rightful place among his fellow hip-hop royalty.
