New interview on Apple Music on The Stones 60th anniversary with both Mick and Ronnie. [Apple.co]
Paraphrasing Ronnie at the end “we don’t need a new album, I love playing all the old stuff”.
Seems they’re putting the cue in the rack then.

If it wasn't so embarrassing, it would be funny - but I guess it's all become embarrassingly funny now.
I can hear the nervous laughter now....

Living in a Ghost Town is still a "new" single in Stone-years, and by far the newest thing they played at the concert I was at last week. But I wasn't with the diehard fans in the golden pit, I had a seat with the regular people, and when the Stones played LIAGT, the public didn't seem to be very interested. People weren't singing along as they didn't know the lyrics, like they did with Satisfaction and Miss You, and some were looking at their phones or going to the toilets. People were only really happy when they were hearing the well known hits. The Stones are a global tourist attraction, they're like the Louvre, most people want to see the Mona Lisa, the Raft of the Medusa, the Wedding at Cana, they don't really care about the more unknown works. And I think Mick really likes that role, he wants to please the general public, he doesn't care about the diehard fans, he wants to entertain the stadiums, and the stadiums need the big hits, and not a "new album" track.
So my thoughts now:
New album:
Pros:
- it would make headlines with "Stones have a #1 album on the UK album charts" for a week or so and "the oldest band to achieve this" etc etc
- "their best album since Exile" for a few weeks
Cons:
- it takes a lot of time and energy and money to make
- it won't make as much money as touring
- people would say it's not as good as Exile after a few weeks and later say it actually stinks and Don Was messed up the production
- the singles won't last on the charts since they're not TikTok hits
- playing the new songs live in a stadium would create awkward silences since the general public wants to hear the well known hits

Ronnies answer could be totally out of context here. They have no new songs to play right now, on this tour-leg. So logically he says that he's content with the old songs.
Imagine Ronnie saying: "I'm sick of play this old shit over and over again, It's about time Mick & Keith write something new". shit would hit the fan.

Creatively, Jagger-Richards haven't been a 50/50 partnership since 1997. Since then, it's been more 70/30 and sometimes even less. They aren't inspired by what the other brings to the table. We would have had another album by now if Keith had been willing to do another 70/30 compromise, but he wanted a true collaboration again. Mick doesn't view the results of working with Keith as "great." Mick left to his own devices is good enough for Mick, but not Keith and Keith's ideas don't excite Mick. I would say that's an interpretation that is fairly accurate.

That is the short and long of it.
I actually can respect both of them for not budging.

Along with Keith's recent quote of "nothing to report" being one of the most accurate statements from this saga,
I'd say the absolute most accurate quote given throughout this enture mess was not by Keith, not by Mick, not by Ronnie, and not by Charlie...
Going all the way back to 2016, this quote from Don Was is really all that needs to be said:...
"We'd gone in the studio to start cutting some new songs. Around day three WE JUST HIT A WALL"
Indeed they did, and they've seemingly never fully been able to recover from it - the damage was done in more ways than one.
And to make matters worse and rub salt in the wounds, Ronnie recently chimes in with “we don’t need a new album".

Mick: .. Just this afternoon I’m going to listen to some of the multi-tracks of that and we’ve done a lot of work on it... I haven't heard it for a while.
I'm going to pick out the ones I really like, and Keith will be listening to it, too...
