Rolling Stones release 15 tracks

The Rolling Stones’ next release appears to be arriving on Friday, July 10, with music reporting and social posts describing a package of 15 tracks that includes “Bad Luck Hideaway,” a song linked to 2015 recording sessions. The band’s official website is currently promoting “Foreign Tongues” for pre-order, and a dedicated “Studio Sounds” page points fans to behind-the-scenes material from the new album sessions. (rollingstones.com) The July 10 date is already established in multiple music reports about “Foreign Tongues,” which those outlets described in May as the Rolling Stones’ next studio album. Consequence reported the album was due July 10 via Capitol Records and said it would span 14 songs, while Variety also reported a 14-track album release for that date. ### Where does the “15 tracks” report come from? (rollingstones.com) A July 9 social post that circulated among music fans said the Rolling Stones would release 15 new tracks “tomorrow” and named “Bad Luck Hideaway” as part of the set. The post also said the song dated from 2015 sessions, a detail repeated in the current round of online discussion. The band’s official website, however, does not spell out the full track count in the material surfaced by search results. (consequence.net) The official site confirms the “Foreign Tongues” campaign is live and available to pre-order, but the publicly indexed snippets reviewed here stop short of listing songs. ### What is “Bad Luck Hideaway”? “Bad Luck Hideaway” is the title that has drawn the most attention because reports describe it as an older recording revived for this release cycle. (en.wikipedia.org) The specific claim attached to the song is that it originated in 2015 sessions, which would place it well before the material publicly tied to the new album in 2026. The Rolling Stones have a recent example of issuing older studio material in a later release context. (rollingstones.com) On the band’s official “Living In A Ghost Town” page, the group said they had been working on new music before the COVID-19 lockdown and chose to release one track because it resonated with the moment. ### How does this fit with the album already announced for July 10? May reports on “Foreign Tongues” described a conventional album rollout rather than a surprise archive dump. (en.wikipedia.org) Consequence said the record was produced by Andrew Watt and featured guest appearances from Paul McCartney, Robert Smith, Chad Smith and Steve Winwood, while Variety reported the album would follow 2023’s “Hackney Diamonds.” (rollingstones.com) One point remains unresolved in the currently visible sourcing: several May reports described “Foreign Tongues” as a 14-track album, while the newer social reporting refers to 15 tracks arriving on July 10. That could indicate a deluxe edition, a bonus track configuration or a separate digital release, but no official tracklist confirming that distinction was visible in the sourced official pages reviewed here. (consequence.net) ### What has the band itself confirmed publicly? The Rolling Stones’ official website confirms that “Foreign Tongues” is an active release campaign and says the album is available to pre-order now. A separate official “Studio Sounds” microsite says fans can “discover behind-the-scenes content from the recording of the new studio album.” The official pages surfaced in search do not, in the material available here, confirm “Bad Luck Hideaway” by name. (consequence.net) That leaves the song title and the 2015-session description resting, for now, on circulating social and secondary reporting rather than a visible official tracklist. ### What should readers watch on July 10? Friday, July 10, is the next concrete milestone because that is the release date attached to “Foreign Tongues” in multiple music reports and on the band’s own website. (rollingstones.com) Fans looking for confirmation of the final song count or whether “Bad Luck Hideaway” appears as a standard or bonus track will likely find that first on the official Rolling Stones release pages and streaming services once the album goes live.
