Just read that an estimated 31 million people registered for the chance to buy tickets for Taylor Swift's show in Toronto.
The population of Canada is 40,200,000.

It could be like Barbenheimer: the release of Taylor Swift and the Rolling Stones new albums in the same week. Fans should listen to both albums back to back. #rollingswift a new viral theme.

Speaking of good old Bill...
Would have been nice to have Bill playing on two new tunes like Paul is, rather than one. His playing will no doubt give the tune some of the long lost Stonesy authenticity that's been missing since he left.
And maybe/hopefully Keith will take over some of the bass duties as he's done so well in the past. In fact I'd say Keith's bass playing is superior to that of Darryl's as far as the unique Stonesy sound is concerned,
and thats not intended to be a criticism of D.Jones who obviously has skills. Thinking of tunes like Sympathy, Live With Me, etc., not to mention the many excellent tunes Keith plays bass on for the Crosseyed Heart album.
Keith might have lost a step or two when it comes to his guitar playing, but his bass playing is still top notch superior imo. And is it possible they would bring in Charlie Drayton from the Winos? Wouldn't surprise me with Steve Jordan now in the mix, and it might be interesting to hear the classic Stonesy sounding Wino team of Jordan/Drayton on a Stones album, though probably not everyone would agree which is understandable.

That came out a decade ago, no? IS this another re-recording of hers? Interesting ...

Taylor Swift is re-recording her old albums because her former record label, Big Machine Records was sold to Scooter Braun, giving him the rights to Swift's master recordings for Big Machine.

Posterity will remember that a former Beatle played on the Stones last studio album (with original material).

She’s almost thru them all. At the rate she’s going she should be done by this time next year. Maybe just shelve the new album til then.

Taylor Swift announced today the release of her album 1989 for 10/26 and it will be the release of the year, already in less than 12 hours it sold 140,000 copies in pre-sale only in the United States, so:
1- The Stones album will not come out on 10/26 or 11/03, with such high sales in the first 2 weeks, the Stones album (and any other release) does not have the slightest chance and will be totally overshadowed
2- In order for it to come out earlier, like 10/20, it has to be announced next week at the latest, if there are no news we are going to launch for 11/17 or 11/24 at the earliest, seeing the timeline of announcement and release of albums today.

No disrespect intended to Soldatti, but they are not the same markets at all.

No disrespect intended to Soldatti, but they are not the same markets at all. The Stones having a quick #2 debut before the album drops like a lead balloon on the charts is probably the best Polydor and Interscope are expecting anyway. I would imagine if they have a release date earmarked, competition from the biggest pop star in the world isn't a consideration.

if we don’t hear something by Labor Day, that would indicate to me that they’re waiting until next year.

I don’t think it’s unreasonable to shoot for a No. 1 debut. If they find the right landing spot, it could happen.
Of course, they also want to maximize sales — which means not dropping it in August.
As I speculated above, if we don’t hear something by Labor Day, that would indicate to me that they’re waiting until next year.

I work as a buyer in a big record store (maybe biggest in Australasia). Unfortunately imo when/if the new album is released it has no chance of hitting #1. The Stones are largely irrelevant, we don't sell much of their stuff new anymore and in some cases the newer releases (Grr Live, Licked in NYC etc) I have had to mark down to move them.
Now an album of new tunes is certainly a different proposition to yet another live album, but the longer time goes on, the returns are becoming more and more diminishing. Younger people simply don't care or don't know about the Stones.
They have faded into irrelevancy and as much as I love them are now just one of many nostalgia acts resting on their laurels. Maybe if their had been more of an effort to release new music over the years since ABB it would be different but 18 years is an eternity.
