What interesting new songs or albums were released or were topping the charts on September the 22nd in the history of music? What has happened on this day in the music universe? I apologize in advance that my view is quite narrow since I only know and follow western music.

In 1960 Joan Jett was born in Philadelphia.

Her first solo hit was “I Love Rock ‘N Roll”. Here is she live in New York in 1998 with her band The Blackhearts.

In 1984 John Waite had No. 1 American single with “Missing You”.

In 1968 The Beatles had a hit with “Hey Jude” which is probably one of the best songs ever.

Please remember that these artists and songs are my personal choices and are not always what you would consider a great hit. OK, most of the time they are.
