Ultimate Classic Rock just released its list of the best rock songs of the year thus far, featuring recent tracks from Paul McCartney, Bruce Springsteen, Peter Gabriel, U2, and more. But at the top? The Stones with “In the Stars.”
“You gotta admit: ‘In the Stars’ is catchy,” UCR wrote. “And it's got all the hallmarks of a great Rolling Stones song.”
View this post on InstagramA 1970s-inspired, guitar-driven smash, “In the Stars” appears on the band’s 25th studio album, Foreign Tongues. The song features Keith Richards’ unmistakable guitar work and Ronnie Wood’s complementary playing, with soaring backing vocals adding modern polish.
Released on May 5, ahead of the album release on July 10, “In the Stars” was co-written by Jagger and Richards. Produced by Andrew Watt, the track blends high-energy rock with lyrical themes of fate and chaos, and that energy is illustrated brilliantly in a deepfake music video directed by François Rousselet.

“I love doing these recording sessions in London at Metropolis,” Jagger said in a statement, via Louder. “It was a very intense few weeks recording Foreign Tongues. We had 14 great tracks, and we went as fast as we could. I like the room there because it’s not too big, so you can feel the passion from everyone.”
One of the longest-tenured rock bands of all time, the Stones have remained active, performing and touring, for more than six decades, with core members Jagger and Richards playing together across seven different decades.
