The Rolling Stones’s new album Hackney Diamonds sets US chart records making fans admire it!
The Rolling Stones have etched their nаme in history once again, becoming the inaugural act to achieve Top 10 albums in every decade since the swinging ’60s. Their latest masterpiece, ‘Hackney Diamonds,’ not only secured its place at Number Three on the Billboard 200 chart this week (October 31) but also solidified the band’s unparalleled record as the artist with the most Top 10 albums of all time—38 and counting.
In the United Kingdom, The Rolling Stones had already clinched the record for the artist with the most number-one albums spanning multiple decades. ‘Hackney Diamonds,’ unleashed on October 20, not only ascended to the summit of the UK Albums Chart, marking their 14th Number One, but also earned the band the prestigious BRIT Billiоn Award from the British Phonographic Industry, celebrating their monumental achievement of one billiоn career UK streams.
The album itself is a star-studded affair, boasting contributions from icons such as Paul McCartney, Stevie Wonder, Elton John, and more. Stones guitarist Ronnie Wood provided a tantalizing peek into the recording studio, recounting the magic that unfolded during the creation of ‘Sweet Sounds of Heaven,’ featuring vocals from none other than Lady Gaga. According to Wood, Gaga spontaneously joined Mick Jagger on the floor, delivering a raw vocal performance that left everyone in awe. The collaboration was so successful that it earned them the BRIT Billiоn Award for reaching the landmark of one billiоn career UK streams.
The Billboard 200, the official albums chart of the United States, has been a familiar territory for The Rolling Stones, who not only boast 38 Top 10 placements but have also claimed the pinnacle with nine number-one albums, including classics like ‘Sticky Fingers,’ ‘Exile on Main St.,’ and ‘Tattoo You.’
This remarkable feat places The Rolling Stones in a league of their own, with no other artist managing to secure Top 10 status in every decade since the ’60s. While Barbra Streisand remаins a contender for this achievement, with 34 Top 10 albums, the Stones’ unparalleled legacy continues to set the standard for musical excellence.
