The Rolling Stones made a strong return to the U.S. music charts with their latest album, *Foreign Tongues*, which entered the top 10 across all five Billboard rankings where it appeared. Despite their enduring popularity and dominance in rock music, the album debuted at No. 2 on the Top Rock Albums chart, narrowly missing the No. 1 position. This second-place position is the third time a Rolling Stones album has peaked at No. 2 in this category, following *Hackney Diamonds* and *Tattoo You*. The group has placed 22 projects on this chart, with 14 making the top 10.

The No. 1 spot on the Top Rock Albums chart continues to be held by Noah Kahan’s *The Great Divide*, which has impressively maintained the lead for 12 consecutive weeks since its May debut. Kahan’s album has proven to be a formidable competitor this year, eclipsing other major releases in the rock space, including the legendary Stones. His previous album, *Stick Season*, set an impressive record by reigning for 71 weeks, indicating his growing influence in rock charts.

While *Foreign Tongues* was blocked from the top rock spot, the Rolling Stones did secure a No. 1 debut on Billboard’s Top Album Sales chart, which tracks traditional album purchases without factoring in streaming. This marks the band’s first time topping this sales-specific chart and adds to their collection of 16 top 10 entries there. Additionally, the album ranked No. 3 on the Vinyl Albums and Top Rock & Alternative Albums charts, further underscoring the band's continued relevance and appeal across multiple formats.

The Rolling Stones also extended their record for the most top 10 appearances on the Billboard 200 chart with *Foreign Tongues* debuting at No. 7. This milestone makes it their 39th top 10 album on the Billboard 200 and their 62nd entry on the chart overall. Despite not reaching No. 1 this time, the band’s consistent presence on major charts cements their status as one of rock’s most durable and successful acts, continuing to make significant commercial impacts more than six decades into their career.
