POLICY WIRE — London, UK — The Rolling Stones have achieved a significant milestone in the music industry by securing their 15th number one album. This accomplishment equals the chart success of their contemporaries, The Beatles.
Released on Friday, the album quickly climbed to the top of the charts, marking a notable achievement for the Grammy-winning group.
