Sweet Child o’ Mine

Guns N’ Roses

"Sweet Child o’ Mine" topped the Billboard Hot 100 chart for two weeks in September 1988, becoming Guns N’ Roses' first and only number-one single. It was also ranked as the number-one song of 1988 on the Billboard year-end charts. The song is often considered one of the greatest hard rock songs of all time and helped establish the band as one of the leading figures in the late 1980s hair metal movement. Its iconic guitar riff and memorable chorus continue to be recognized and covered by musicians of all genres today.
