Looks like the U.K. loves the Red Hot Chili Peppers as much as the U.S. does. Maybe even more, as the legendary alternative rock band has just passed a major milestone in the country across the pond.
According to Forbes, RHCP’s 2003 Greatest Hits album, which blends bangers from 1991’s Blood Sugar Sex Magik, 1995’s One Hot Minute, 1999’s Californication, and 2002’s By the Way, has now officially spent 520 weeks—10 years—on the U.K.’s Official Albums Chart. The compilation is currently at No. 41, making it the band’s first release to reach the decade mark on the tally.

Released Nov. 18, 2003, Greatest Hits is a delightful summary of the band’s dominant alternative rock era on Warner Bros. Records. This was around the time that the band had just wrapped their massive global tour for 2002’s By the Way.
Firing on all cylinders, the band’s core lineup—Anthony Kiedis, Flea, Chad Smith, and returning guitarist John Frusciante—curated a 16-track collection that focused heavily on their ’90s and early 2000s golden age. Of course, they added two new tracks* for good measure.
Greatest Hits Tracklist
“Under the Bridge” “Give It Away” “Californication” “Scar Tissue” “Soul to Squeeze” “Otherside” “Suck My Kiss” “By the Way” “Parallel Universe” “Breaking the Girl” “My Friends” “Higher Ground” “Universally Speaking” “Road Trippin'” “Fortune Faded”* “Save the Population”*Upon its original release, the album was a hit, peaking at No. 18 in the U.S. and No. 4 in the U.K. In 2006, the guys followed it with the massive Stadium Arcadium. That album, which spent 66 weeks on the Billboard 200, climbed to the top, peaking at No. 1 in May 2006, and became their first No. 1 album.
These days, the RHCP are writing and recording material for their 14th studio album, hunkered down at Frusciante’s house, no less.

“We’ve been writing music together, recording at John Frusciante’s house, and the music feels great,” they told MOJO, per Consequence. “Ultimately, once we start playing, it’s about … just catching a magic groove and doing it good.”
In addition to solo projects, such as Flea’s debut jazz album and Kiedis’ coffee brand, the West Coast outfit, which performed beachside during the Paris 2024 Olympic closing ceremony handover segment for LA28, has the Summer Games to look forward to. As does the rest of the world.
