The Rolling Stones

Sixty-plus years in, the Rolling Stones are still making records that top the charts. Their new album Foreign Tongues hit No. 1 in the U.K. this summer, and “Sympathy for the Devil” sits at No. 2 on our Classic Rock chart. The world’s greatest rock ‘n’ roll band, still earning the title.

What’s new with The Rolling Stones

• A new album. Foreign Tongues, produced by Andrew Watt, came out July 10, 2026, with guests including Paul McCartney, Robert Smith and Steve Winwood, and two tracks featuring the late Charlie Watts. It debuted at No. 1 in the U.K., the band’s 15th, and No. 7 in the U.S.
• No tour this year. A planned 2026 U.K. and European stadium run was called off in December 2025. Mick Jagger said in July 2026 that he hopes to tour in 2027.
• Black and Blue turned 50 in April 2026.

Station picks: the Rolling Stones songs to start with

Our five essentials:

1. (I Can’t Get No) Satisfaction (1965). Keith’s fuzz riff, written in a hotel room, still the ultimate rock ‘n’ roll hook.
2. Sympathy for the Devil (1968). That samba groove and those “woo-woos.” No. 2 on our chart right now.
3. Gimme Shelter (1969). Merry Clayton’s vocal turns it into the scariest song in rock.
4. Paint It Black (1966). Brian Jones on sitar and a whole lot of attitude.
5. Start Me Up (1981). The riff that opened a thousand stadium shows.

Three deep cuts worth your time:

1. Moonlight Mile (1971). The gorgeous, string-laden closer of Sticky Fingers.
2. Can’t You Hear Me Knocking (1971). A riff, then a jam that just keeps going.
3. Shine a Light (1972). A gospel-soaked gem from Exile on Main St.
