‘I Love Rock ‘N Roll’ – Joan Jett And The Blackhearts
As she attempted to launch a solo career following her time with the Runaways, Jett’s demo tape for “I Love Rock ‘N Roll” was rejected by 23 record labels. Tiny Boardwalk Records took notice eventually, but she had to pay $2,500 for the song’s radio rights. The song is now estimated to be worth around $20 million.
