Billboard has published a list ranking the 15 best Rolling Stones songs of the 21st century, highlighting how the veteran rock band has favoured quality over quantity in the modern era. Despite releasing only three studio albums of original material since 2000, plus a blues covers record, the Stones have continued to produce standout work, with guitarists Keith Richards and Ron Wood developing an increasingly refined partnership and Mick Jagger's lyrics taking on greater reflectiveness as the band members age.

The countdown spans releases from the 2002 compilation Forty Licks through to A Bigger Bang, Blue & Lonesome, Hackney Diamonds and the newest record, Foreign Tongues, totalling 58 tracks in all. Songs discussed include the chart-topping "Don't Stop" and "Rough Justice", alongside deeper cuts such as Richards' "Losing My Touch". The list also acknowledges the band's continuity following drummer Charlie Watts' death in 2021, noting his lasting influence on the two albums released since.
