The Rolling Stones - Hackney Diamonds (LP, Album, Picture Disc)

Description

Hackney Diamonds is a studio album by the English rock band the Rolling Stones, released on 20 October 2023 on Polydor. It is the first album of original material by the Rolling Stones since 2005's A Bigger Bang and their first since the 2021 death of drummer Charlie Watts, who contributed to some tracks in 2019. Produced by Andrew Watt, it features guest contributions from Elton John, Lady Gaga, Paul McCartney, Stevie Wonder, and former Rolling Stones bassist Bill Wyman. Hackney Diamonds received positive reviews, with some critics considering it the band's strongest album in decades. It was promoted by the singles "Angry", "Sweet Sounds of Heaven", and "Mess It Up". Marketing included publicity stunts, merchandising such as worldwide fashion retail pop-ups, and cross-promotion with several sports teams. It reached number one in at least 19 countries including the UK, Australia, and Germany. In the UK it was their 14th album to reach the top of the charts, reaching the number of 72,200 certified chart units in its first week in the charts, going Gold for the sales of over 100,000 units within four weeks since its release. As global sales were equally strong, weeks after the release of the album, the Gold awards soon followed in Germany, France, and Holland, amongst other countries. In Germany, Hackney Diamonds was officially pronounced the best-selling album of 2023, after it had outsold the current year's competition, an achievement accomplished only a month since its release.
