The Rolling Stones have topped the Official German Singles Chart with ‘Living In A Ghost Town,’ their first taste of new music in eight years and their first Number One single in Germany since 1968's 'Jumpin' Jack Flash'.

'Living In A Ghost Town', which previously reached number 22 in the beginning of May, has now broken two new records: Not only are The Rolling Stones the oldest artists ever to top the German Singles Chart, but with 52 years, it's also the biggest span between two Number One hits.

‘Living in A Ghost Town’ accurately describes life during COVID-19, but in an interview with Zane Lowe of Apple Music, Sir Mick Jagger said, “It wasn’t written for now, but it was just one of those odd things.” The band confirmed that the track was recorded a year ago in LA but was finished during the lockdown via satellite. "We thought it would resonate through the times we're living in," Jagger said during the interview. BMG is the proud publisher of Sir Mick Jagger and Keith Richards.

The Stones were last seen during the One World: Together At Home concert on April 18, playing together from four separate locations.

‘Living In A Ghost Town’ is the first original song they have released since ‘Doom and Gloom’ and ‘One More Shot’ which were featured on their greatest hits album Grrr!, released in 2012. In 2016, the band released covers album Blue & Lonesome comprising solely of covers, where BMG published eight of the 12 tracks, including works from blues legends Howlin’ Wolf, Little Walter, Magic Sam, Jimmy Reed, and Willie Dixon.

In 2019, Keith Richards brought his solo recordings catalog to BMG including his 1978 debut solo single and four solo albums from 1988-2010. Keith Richards’ critically-acclaimed 30th anniversary deluxe reissue box set Talk Is Cheap, released via BMG in 2019, was awarded Gold Medal honors by the prestigious Clio Music Awards for package design in Music.
