Stones Launch Global Streaming World Cup!
6 Jul
Summary
- The Rolling Stones initiated a streaming competition across 30 countries.
- Fans contribute points to their country by streaming any Stones song.
- The band members are team captains for different country groups.
The Rolling Stones have initiated a unique four-week "Streaming World Cup" event, pitting the top 30 countries with the highest music streams on Spotify against each other. Fans actively participate by streaming any song from The Stones' extensive catalog, with each stream contributing a point to their respective country's total.
Adding a playful element, band members Mick Jagger, Keith Richards, and Ronnie Wood are acting as team captains. Each legendary musician leads a group of ten countries in this global streaming tournament. The ultimate goal is for countries to amass the highest number of streams.
The country that earns the most points will be recognized as the Stones' Top Streaming Nation, a distinction highlighted on a special event page. This initiative coincides with the upcoming release of "Hackney Diamonds," the band's 25th studio album, on Friday, July 10, 2026. The Stones continue to demonstrate rock and roll's enduring appeal, releasing fresh music and refusing to become mere historical artifacts.
