The Rolling Stones - Hackney Diamonds (2023)

Hackney Diamonds is the 24th British and 26th American studio album by British rock band the Rolling Stones, released on 20 October 2023 on Polydor. The album features guest stars Elton John, Lady Gaga, Paul McCartney, Stevie Wonder, and former bandmate Bill Wyman. It is the first studio album of original material by the band since 2005's A Bigger Bang and the band's first following the 2021 death of drummer Charlie Watts, who contributed to select tracks in 2019.

Critics have given the album positive reviews, with several recognizing it as their strongest album in multiple decades. The release was promoted with singles, music videos, publicity stunts, and merchandising that included worldwide fashion retail pop-ups, as well as cross-promotion with several sports teams.
