Last Friday, The Rolling Stones equalled The Beatles' tally of 15 UK No1 albums with their latest release, 'Foreign Tongues'.

The band released this album ten days ago, which proved to be their 15th UK number one in the charts. The album included contributions from former Beatle, Paul McCartney, The Cure's Robert Smith, as well as Chad Smith from the Red Hot Chili Peppers.

This also marked a first UK No1 for the Rolling Stones since their 2023 album, 'Hackney Diamonds', which went on to win a Grammy Award for best rock album.

According to Reuters, bandmembers Mick Jagger and Ronnie Wood said that they hoped to take Foreign Tongues on tour.

"Ronnie and I are really into that, ⁠so ​we hope to see ​everyone on the road", Jagger said to Reuters at a launch party for the album in London earlier this month.

Earlier this month, The Rolling Stones also revealed that they made Foreign Tongues, 'in a month".

In a statement, the band said: "We put this album together in under a month at Metropolis Studios in our hometown of London – it was a lot of fun. The critics seem to like it, we hope everyone loves it!". More on this from Nova here.
