Hackney Diamonds is the Stones’ first studio set of original material since 2005’s A Bigger Bang. The album charted at #1 in 19 territories around the world selling over a million units since release. Lead single “Angry” is nominated for Best Rock Song at 2024’s GRAMMY® Awards, whilst the single became the Stones’ first Top 40 single in the UK in 18 years.
 
Since the release of 2005’s A Bigger Bang the Stones have continued to smash box office records on a series of global sell-out tours and released 2016's GRAMMY® Award winning Blue & Lonesome, which featured their brilliant versions of many of the blues tracks that helped shape their sound, and topped album charts around the world. Last year, they thrilled European audiences totaling nearly a quarter of a million on the anniversary Sixty tour. The Rolling Stones have sold more than 250 million albums worldwide.
 
Hackney Diamonds marks The Stones (Mick Jagger, Keith Richards, Ronnie Wood) first album produced by producer and musician Andrew Watt.
