In July 1974, the lead single, "It's Only Rock 'n Roll (But I Like It)," was released. Despite the familiar sound, it surprised many by failing to reach the top 10 in the United States (although it did reach the top 10 in the UK). With its sing-along chorus, it has become a staple at Rolling Stones concerts. The B-side "Through the Lonely Nights" (later included on the album "Rarities 1971–2003") dates back to the previous year's "Goats Head Soup" sessions as well as the track "Short and Curlies". A cover of "Ain’t Too Proud to Beg," originally a 1966 hit by The Temptations, was released as the second single in the United States only, where it also became a top 20 hit. Its parent album appeared in October with brisk initial sales, reaching number two in the UK (breaking a string of number-one albums that stretched back to 1969's "Let It Bleed") and number one in the United States, where it eventually went platinum.
