News The Rolling Stones Reintroduce One Of Their Classic Albums To The Charts
The Rolling Stones are still enjoying the success of their most recent album, Hackney Diamonds. That set dropped in the second half of 2023, and it brought the band back to the charts in a major way as fans around the world rushed to support the title. It turns out, though, that the group doesn’t need to deliver something brand new to find their way back to the weekly lists of the most popular albums in the U.S.
The band’s Hot Rocks 1964-1971 compilation surged in popularity in the past tracking period in America. Thanks to a jump in total consumption, the title returns to two Billboard charts.
Between the two tallies that Hot Rocks 1964-1971 reappears on, it lands highest on the Top Rock & Alternative Albums chart. On that ranking of the most-consumed rock and alternative full-lengths in America, it’s back at No. 41.
The set is also back on the Billboard 200 as well. That list incorporates all genres, and thus the greatest hits project from the Rolling Stones faced much more competition, so it doesn’t appear nearly as high.
Hot Rocks 1964-1971 is back on the Billboard 200 at No. 179. The compilation blasts onto the list after moving 8,064 equivalent units. That sum includes just 146 pure purchases, as Americans are still very much enjoying streaming the set.
The Rolling Stones released Hot Rocks 1964-1971 in 1971, less than a decade into their tenure as one of the biggest bands in the world. The project features some of the group’s biggest hits, such as “(I Can’t Get No) Satisfaction,” “Get Off of My Cloud,” “Jumpin’ Jack Flash,” and “Honky Tonk Women,” among others. The compilation peaked at No. 4 on the Billboard 200 and has managed to remain a favorite for decades.
