"House of the Rising Sun" was a trans-Atlantic hit: after reaching the top of the UK pop singles chart in July 1964, it topped the US pop singles chart two months later, on September 5, 1964, where it stayed for three weeks, and became the first British Invasion number one hit unconnected with The Beatles. It was the group's breakthrough hit in both countries and became their signature song.
