The re-issue includes ten tracks that had never been released before, among them four tracks that even frontman Sir Mick Jagger and guitarist Keith Richards, both 66.

Their last number one album was 1994's Voodoo Lounge.

The Rolling Stones beat Faithless's latest release The Dance, which was a new entry at number two on the albums rundown.

German covers band The Baseballs are at number four, while LCD Soundsytem have a new entry with This Is Happening at number seven.
