Joan Jett & the Blackhearts’ 1982 smash has been ranked the "Best Rock Song of All Time" by Entertainment Weekly, a fitting honor for a track that has never truly left the cultural conversation.
That gamble paid off in a major way.
The Arrows officially disbanded in 1977, leaving an opening for Jett to make the song her own. Released in late 1981, Jett's version of "I Love Rock 'N Roll" soared to No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 in 1982, where it remained for seven consecutive weeks. It became the defining song of her career and one of the most instantly recognizable rock anthems ever recorded.

It is something that is powerful and strong. And it is something that can be used to fight, people have injustices, and you can declare them and fight for it."
Over the years, “I Love Rock ’N Roll” has remained a fixture in pop culture, appearing in films, commercials, sporting events and karaoke nights everywhere. Its rebellious simplicity continues to resonate across generations.
