Presume you mean 'Its All Over Now'.

The Stones were having big hits in the UK several months before they broke in the US.

'Its All Over Now' was the band's first number 1 - topping the UK charts in July 1964. it barely made the top 30 in the US. The Stones had played there for the first time in June 1964, and it wasnt exactly a resounding success. Their first US chart entry was 'Not Fade Away' , released in March '64 - it just made the top 50, whereas it had reached no. 3 in the UK.

Around the same time, the US version of their debut album "Englands Newest Hitmakers" reached numbe 11 in the Billboard charts - but the self titled UK debut released in April topped the British charts for three months.

It wasn't until summer 1965 that they had their first US number 1 - 'Satisfaction'.  When released in the UK two months later, it became the fourth in a run of five consecutive UK chart toppers (Its All Over Now, Little Red Rooster, The Last Time and then Get Off Of my Cloud being the others)

Thank YOU Gazza for settin me straight :)
