The Rolling Stones have recently made history with their latest record, ‘Hackney Diamonds,’ as the album entered the Billboard 200 this week at number 3. So, what might be the record, you might ask?
Well, this chart success, reportedly, just made them the first ever band to have top 10 albums in the United States in every decade since the 60s.
From One Record To Another
In their home country, the U.K., the band already had the record for the artist with number one albums in the most decades.
‘Hackney Diamonds’ also topped the U.K. Albums Chart, becoming the band’s 14th number-one album.
Additionally, The Stones also held the record of ‘the artist who has the most top-ten albums of all time’ with thirty-eight Top Ten albums, as this record counts not only new releases but also the success of re-recordings of older albums as well.
Do The Rolling Stones Have Any Competition?
The closest name to break the record of ‘having top ten albums in every decade since the 60s’ is Barbara Streisand. However, she needs to release at least one album to top the charts before the end of 2020s.
She also competes with the Rolling Stones on having the most top-ten albums of all time, as Streisand has thirty-four top-ten records. The closest names to her numbers are The Beatles and Frank Sinatra, as both acts have thirty-two top ten albums.
