I like Keith
I seem to have developed almost an antipathy towards Sir Michael

Sure, I'll give you that. But that is a simplification. I'm very aware Sir Michael is the driving force behind The Rolling Stones these days. He seem to have outmanoeuvred Keith a long time ago.
Hence the Commander title. I don''t mind that but I do mind the Stones starting to sound like his latest solo record. Which is what will happen if he's given the free space to do so.

Mick has reinvented the Stones so many times.. without his vision the Stones would probably have ceased to exist as a band by 1968 or something.. so this way he takes them into the 2020s decade.. keeping the Stones in the public eye, staying as relevent as they can

It took me one of two spins to warm to it, but then it really hit home.
A catchy thing. Well-produced. Unmistakenably Stones.

The Rolling Stones Clock Up Seven Consecutive Decades Of Billboard Chart Hits
‘Living In A Ghost Town’ makes its chart entrance exactly 56 years after ‘Not Fade Away’ gave the band their first Billboard success in 1964.
The success of The Rolling Stones’ new single, ‘Living In A Ghost Town’ means the legendary rockers have now debuted a title on a Billboard chart for seven consecutive decades.
Entering multiple lists on the week of 2 May, ‘Living In A Ghost Town’ makes its chart entrance exactly 56 years after The Rolling Stones’ first appearance on a Billboard survey: ‘Not Fade Away,’ the Stones’ first title on any tally, debuted at No. 98 on the Billboard Hot 100 dated 2 May 1964. Since then, The Stones have amassed the most top 10 albums (37) in the history of the Billboard 200 chart, including nine No. 1s. Also, on the Hot 100 songs chart, the Rock and Roll Hall of Famers have notched 23 top 10s, including eight Number 1s.

There will be an authorised remix version made by a Brazilian DJ named Alok, who've already worked with Mick on his latest single. It will be posted on May 2.

Despite Alok's intention to release his authorised remixed version on a live video this weekend (which will also be broadcasted on a commercial TV station here in Brazil), it seems that he'll first have to set an agreement to do so, as the remix was not meant to be released that way.

A propos chart positions. Here is something I didn't know. There is a guy in Sweden, Karl Martin Sandberg, who has written 23 Billboard number-one songs since the mid 90's.
That makes him the songwriter with the third-most number-one hits on the chart. Behind only Sir Paul McCartney and John Lennon.
Maybe the Stones should give him a call? If it's chart success they're after?

You're wrong, but whatever - if it's chart success they're after why not get in touch with songwriters/producers who knows how to make that happen? They haven't been all that lucky with that lately..

I agree with you there, Nikkei. I was just referring to the several posts concerning chart positions here.
