The Rolling Stones have reached a historic milestone by matching The Beatles' record of 15 UK Number One albums. Their latest release, 'Foreign Tongues', entered the Official Albums Chart at the top spot in July 2026, maintaining the momentum from their previous chart-topper 'Hackney Diamonds'. While this achievement places the Stones in elite company alongside the Fab Four, Robbie Williams currently holds the all-time record with 16 Number Ones, followed by Taylor Swift with 14.

The album showcases an impressive array of guest contributions, with Paul McCartney appearing on bass, The Cure's Robert Smith on guitar, and recordings featuring late drummer Charlie Watts. The band has signalled active plans to tour the record and indicated they are already writing potential follow-up material, suggesting the recent creative renaissance that produced both 'Hackney Diamonds' and 'Foreign Tongues' remains ongoing.
