The legendary rockers and current Billboard cover stars are now joint-second on the all-time rankings, tied with The Beatles, though Paul McCartney plays bass on Foreign Tongues’ cut “Covered In You.” 

Both groups trail Robbie Williams who took the top spot in January with his Britpop, his 16th overall. The Stones were previously tied in third position with Taylor Swift at 14 each.

The band last hit the No. 1 spot with 2023’s Hackney Diamonds, and first hit the top spot in 1964 with its self-titled debut LP.

In a wide-ranging conversation with Billboard‘s Joe Lynch, Mick Jagger and Keith Richards discussed their thoughts on artificial intelligence, Olivia Rodrigo and the chances of heading out on the road in support of the new LP and more. (Read the full interview here.)

December 10’s On Your Side EP closes at No. 5 to give the boy band a strong start to its recording career; it’s the highest charting debut for a British boy band in six years following New Hope Club’s self-titled 2020 debut album (No. 5).
