Hackney Diamonds tops the charts in 19 countries
The Rolling Stones has released a remix of its current single, “Mess It Up,” by Grammy Award-winning Purple Disco Machine. The release follows the band’s new album Hackney Diamonds which topped the charts in 19 countries globally and became the biggest-selling release of the week around the world.
German producer Purple Disco Machine has had a resilient rise to becoming one of the most universally appealing artists on the international music scene. The respect he has earned from his peers throughout his career has led him to rack up two billion combined streams, to become the No. 2 Best-Selling Beatport Artist of all time and a go-to remixer for some of the top artists in the world. The likes of Dua Lipa, Sir Elton John, Fatboy Slim, Lady Gaga & Ariana Grande among many more, have looked to him to input his positive flair for disco in their own work.
Most recently, he was awarded the 2023 Grammy Award for Best Remixed Recording for his take on Lizzo’s “It’s About Damn Time,” a true representation of the significance he has played in propelling disco back into the mainstream.
Hackney Diamonds is The Rolling Stones’ first studio set of new material since 2005’s A Bigger Bang. Since then, The Stones have continued to smash box office records on a series of global sell-out tours and released 2016’s Grammy Award-winning Blue & Lonesome, which featured their brilliant versions of many of the blues tracks that helped shape their sound and topped album charts around the world. Last year, they thrilled European audiences totaling nearly a quarter of a million on the anniversary Sixty tour. The Rolling Stones have sold over 250 million albums worldwide.
Hackney Diamonds marks The Stones (Mick Jagger, Keith Richards, Ronnie Wood) first album produced by producer and musician Andrew Watt.
Earlier this week, the legendary band introduced their very own signature rum, Crossfire Hurricane, inspired by the opening lyric of their hit song “Jumpin’ Jack Flash.” The drink elevates any cocktail, showcasing everything a bartender is looking for from a rum while still being welcoming for the quality rum consumer. Rooted in rock & roll, the rum encapsulates the edgy and timeless spirit of the band. This precisely blended liquid includes rum aged for up to five years in charred oak barrels, giving it a golden hue and imparting a depth of complexity and character that makes it ideal to sip on its own or stand out in a wide variety of cocktails.
