Some songs are so good they just keep winning.

And apparently, Guns N’ Roses had one of those songs.

The guys remember when “Sweet Child O’ Mine” was so popular that it kept winning a radio countdown or competition week after week.

Eventually, someone decided it had won enough times and needed to be retired.

But not everybody was happy about that.

Who retires a song like “Sweet Child O’ Mine”?

The memory goes all the way back to hearing Appetite for Destruction for the first time.

When “Sweet Child O’ Mine” started playing, the reaction was immediate.

The headphones came off.

And the words were simple.

“This is the best song ever, ever, ever.”

So when the song got retired from the competition, it felt completely wrong.

But looking back, having your song retired because it won too many times is actually a pretty incredible honor.

Guns N’ Roses.

Appetite for Destruction.

“Sweet Child O’ Mine.”

Some songs are just too good to compete with.
