The Rolling Stones Tie The Beatles at No. 2 on U.K. Albums Chart’s Leaderboard With 15th No. 1 LP

The Rolling Stones have reached another milestone in their storied career. Their new album Foreign Tongues climbed to the top of the Official Albums Chart in the United Kingdom this week. This achievement marks the band's 15th number one record in the region.

With this latest success, the group now ties The Beatles for second place on the all-time list of artists with the most chart-topping albums in the U.K. The only act ahead of them is Robbie Williams, who currently holds 16 number one albums. The Rolling Stones previously held 14 top spots, putting them in a tie with Taylor Swift before this release.

The history of the band on the U.K. charts dates back to 1964 with their self-titled debut album. Since that first entry, they have maintained a consistent presence in the industry for over six decades. This new project features a notable collaboration, as Paul McCartney performs bass on the track Covered In You.

Elsewhere on the charts, other acts saw movement following recent tour activity. A reissue of the My Chemical Romance album Danger Days secured the second position after the band played shows at Wembley Stadium. Olivia Rodrigo remains in the top three with her latest project, and Michael Jackson maintains a position in the top five. The landscape of the U.K. charts remains active as legacy acts and newer artists continue to compete for the top spots.
