The Rolling Stones wowed fans when the group’s album rose to number one, on par with The Beatles and Springsteen

The Rolling Stones’ latest masterpiece, “Hackney Diamonds,” has stormed to the coveted number one position in this week’s UK charts, a triumph that propels them into an elite league alongside legends like The Beatles, Bruce Springsteen, and Robbie Williams. This milestone marks the band’s 11th chart-topping album, representing their first collection of new material in a staggering 18 years.

Notably, “Hackney Diamonds” is a poignant chapter in the Stones’ legacy, as it stands as the first musical venture for Mick Jagger, Ronnie Wood, and Keith Richards since the passing of drummer Charlie Watts in 2021. The album’s resounding success, selling an impressive 72,200 units in its inaugural week, underscores the enduring appeal of the iconic rock band.

Surpassing the rest of the top five combined, this triumphant release claims the third-largest weekly sales for an album in 2023, trailing only Lewis Capaldi’s “Broken by Desire to be Heavenly Sent” and Ed Sheeran’s undisclosed masterpiece.

In a testament to the album’s widespread resonance, “Hackney Diamonds” not only dominated the overall charts but also ascended to the summit of the official vinyl album chart. Boasting collaborations with musical titans like Paul McCartney, Elton John, Lady Gaga, and Stevie Wonder, this record not only cements the Rolling Stones’ legendary status but also reaffirms their ability to captivate audiences across generations.
