Bets on a fourth single - yes or no

What song you think it will be

What song you think it should be


Yes

Depending On You

Driving Me Too Hard

Both great songs, imo, for different reasons.

That they didn't bother to rehearse the latter even once before the tour doesn't bode well for a single release, though

I'm only going by what Polydor's Ali Tant hinted at - you've got the more single tracks, Angry, Mess It Up, Depending On You.

It's the only thing to even consider in regard to information including post-tour to fulfill their 18 month promotional plan. Because, ha ha, say they played Get Close live but didn't release it as a single at any time - then it doesn't matter if something they didn't play is released as a single after the tour.

Although - the majority of HD songs they played were the 3 singles.

Not sure if anyone this this, but the Stones were on CBS Sunday Morning today.

Re-air of Anthony Mason's interview from October 2023.

Nice bit. Slightly off detail wise in the beginning but whatever.

Ronnie. Always flinging off some statement that's a bit out there.

Tom Power with Mick ....

I didn't realize music meant so much to Forbes. They have someone sitting around thinking these things up?

Do the Stones even care about this kind of stuff? I have no idea. I'm guessing No.


The Rolling Stones May Break Their Tie With Pearl Jam, Metallica, And Bruce Springsteen

Eligibility for the 2025 Grammy Awards closed recently. The window for releases hoping to score some love from the Recording Academy ended as August turned to September, which means the world has already heard every song and album that will eventually be nominated for honors—and win. The Rolling Stones are eligible in multiple categories, and they may be headed for several nods… and if they end up in one specific vertical, they’ll break out of a tie with some of rock’s biggest stars.

The Rolling Stones’ latest CD Hackney Diamonds is a possible nominee at the upcoming Grammys, and it could easily snag at least one or two chances to help the band add to their trophy shelf. The title was released in late 2023, but well within the window of eligibility for the 2025 ceremony.

The set should be considered a real contender for a Best Rock Album nomination. Nothing is certain, but the Rolling Stones remain one of the most beloved names in the genre, and voters love honoring legends, especially when they give the world reason to listen once again.

If Hackney Diamonds does wind up a nominee for Best Rock Album, it will mark the Rolling Stones’ fourth time being up for the award. They were actually the first winner of the prize, which they took home in 1995 for Voodoo Lounge. They were nominated again in 1998 for Bridges to Babylon and once more in 2006 with A Bigger Bang, though neither of those projects claimed the spotlight.


A fourth Best Rock Album nomination would help the Rolling Stones break their match with more than a dozen other soloists and bands in the field. Right now, the British rockers are tied for the fifth-most nods, but that may soon change. They could soon pass superstars like Bruce Springsteen, Metallica, Pearl Jam, Coldplay, Dave Matthews Band, and Muse, among others.

The Rolling Stones may soon stand alone on the list of artists with the most Best Rock Album Grammy nominations. Currently, Foo Fighters lead all names, with eight shots at gold. Neil Young is next up, with seven. Tom Petty and U2 are tied for third place, with five apiece.

Whether Hackney Diamonds left enough of an impact to be remembered by Grammy voters all these months later is yet to be seen, but there’s reason to hope for a nomination. Earlier this year, the band was up for their first trophy in more than half a decade. Their single “Angry,” which fronted the new album, was in the running for Best Rock Song, though the women of Boygenius earned the win with their single “Not Strong Enough.”

Eligibility for the 2025 Grammys runs from September 16, 2023, through August 30, 2024. The nominees will be named on November 8, and the sixty-seventh annual Grammy Awards will be held on February 2, 2025.

The new Bruno Mars and Lady Gaga song (co-written and produced by Andrew Watt) killed all the chances for a nomination for Sweet Sounds Of Heaven, the Stones song was a complete chart failure (it didn't make the Hot 100 or any airplay chart) while the new Mars/Gaga duet is a Top 3 hit on the Billboard Hot 100 and still Top 10 after a month. Andrew Watt has a strong chance for song of the year there as producer and writer.

A nomination for best rock album is the best bet for Hackney Diamonds, but it will loose against Billie Eilish's album.

As I have said many times before, the stones could release their best music ever and at least in USA they would get limited air play so we can’t judge quality by air play. The days for hits are looong gone. They’re old and I’m not saying it but there is age discrimination. Sweet Sounds if released seventies early 80’s would have been huge
