Are The Rolling Stones making new music?

In November 2023, The Rolling Stones released their 28th studio album, ‘Hackney Diamonds’, their first album of original material since 2005’s ‘A Bigger Bang’.

‘Hackney Diamonds’ comes after the passing of the band’s life-long drummer, Charlie Watts, in 2021 and features two tracks with the late drummer - ‘Mess It Up’ and ‘Live By The Sword’, the latter of which also features fellow music royalty, Elton John, on piano.


In an interview with The New York Times in September 2023, frontman and co-songwriter, Mick Jagger, confirmed that a follow-up to ‘Hackney Diamonds’ is already in the works, with Jagger claiming that the band were “three-quarters through” the next album.

Was The Rolling Stones new album in the charts?

‘Hackney Diamonds’ entered the UK album charts at number 1. The album charted at number 1 in 20 different countries, as well as the top 10 in eleven further countries, including number 3 on the US Billboard Top 200.

‘Hackney Diamonds’ is The Rolling Stones’ 14th number 1 album in the UK, and 42nd top 10 album, including compilations and live albums.

Is The Rolling Stones new album any good?

‘Hackney Diamonds’ was released to largely positive reviews, including a 78% aggregate score with Metacritic.

Many fans online have described the album as The Stones’ best since 1981’s ‘Tattoo You’ which featured the iconic track ‘Start Me Up’.

‘Hackney Diamonds’ immediately sounds like a classic Stones album, touching on all aspects of the band’s career from guitar anthem, ‘Angry’, to country ballad, ‘Depending on You’, and Keith Richards-led acoustic track, ‘Tell Me Straight’. The second single from the album, ‘Sweet Sounds of Heaven’ is arguably a career-best track and wouldn’t be out of place in a set sat next to the 1969 classic, ‘You Can’t Always Get What You Want’.
