Blue & Lonesome

"Blue & Lonesome" is a covers album by the Rolling Stones—their 23rd British and 25th American studio album—released on 2 December 2016, through Interscope Records. It is the band's first album to feature only cover songs. It is their first studio release since 2005's A Bigger Bang. This is the first album since Dirty Work to not feature any guitar playing from Jagger (who instead concentrates completely on vocals and harmonica) and also the first since It's Only Rock 'n Roll to not feature a lead vocal from Richards. During its first week the album moved 106,000 sales to debut at number 1 on the UK Albums Chart, the second-highest opening sales week for an album in the UK in 2016. It also debuted at number 4 on the Billboard 200 with 123,000 album-equivalent units, of which 120,000 were pure album sales.
