The Rolling Stones have once again proven their legendary status, bringing multiple albums back to the charts with the release of their latest record, *Hackney Diamonds*. The iconic band has achieved remarkable milestones in both the U.S. and UK, solidifying their place as one of the most influential rock groups of all time.
Released on October 20, 2023, *Hackney Diamonds* debuted at number three on the U.S. Billboard 200 chart, becoming the band’s 38th top 10 album in the country. This historic achievement makes The Rolling Stones the only act to chart top 10 albums across every decade since the 1960s, a feat unmatched in the music industry.
In the UK, the album claimed the number one spot on the Official Albums Chart, earning the band their 14th chart-topping record in their home country. With this success, The Rolling Stones are now tied with Robbie Williams for the second-most number one albums in the UK, with The Beatles leading at 16.
The new album features high-profile collaborations with music legends such as Elton John, Lady Gaga, Paul McCartney, Stevie Wonder, and former Stones bassist Bill Wyman. These star-studded appearances have contributed to the album’s widespread acclaim, appealing to both long-time fans and new listeners.
Adding to the excitement, the band’s earlier single “Angry” has re-entered the UK charts, securing a spot at number 31 on the Official Vinyl Singles chart and number 40 on the Official Physical Singles chart. Another track, “Sweet Sounds of Heaven,” featuring Lady Gaga and Stevie Wonder, has also made a strong impact, charting at number 49 on the Official Physical Singles list.
The Rolling Stones’ influence extends beyond sales and charts. The band was recently honored with a Brit Billion Award, recognizing their music being streamed over a billion times in the UK alone. This accolade highlights their ability to remain relevant and impactful in the streaming era, decades after their debut.
Fans can look forward to more from the legendary group as guitarist Ronnie Wood has revealed plans for a *Hackney Diamonds* tour. Though details are yet to be confirmed, Wood hinted that a U.S. tour could take place as early as next year, creating further anticipation for live performances of the band’s new material.
As The Rolling Stones continue to shatter records and redefine their legacy, their recent chart dominance showcases the enduring power of their music. With a career spanning over six decades, they remain a cultural force, captivating audiences across generations.
