The Rolling Stones Chart A Top 10 Single, 60 Years Into The Band's Career
The Rolling Stones' 'Angry' returns to the U.K. top 10 on two charts, nearly matching its peak and ... More proving the band's sales power hasn't faded.

More than 60 years after The Rolling Stones started releasing music, the legendary rock band is still churning out hits. The group remains on the charts in the United Kingdom, where it first broke through all those decades ago. This week, it doesn't just find space on some rankings, the rockers claim a top 10 smash, showing that even after all this time, there's still plenty of life left in one of the most iconic rock outfits of all time.
The Rolling Stones score a top 10 win in their home country yet again this frame, and the rock outfit does so in more than one place. The group's single 'Angry' is back inside the highest tier on two U.K.-based rankings, both of which focus exclusively on sales.
This week, 'Angry' leaps from No. 15 to No. 5 on the Official Physical Singles chart. That cut also rockets from No. 13 to the same position on the Official Vinyl Singles ranking.
'Angry' isn't unfamiliar with the upper reaches of either the Official Physical Singles or Official Vinyl Singles charts. In fact, the tune has previously conquered both tallies. While it's not at No. 1 this week, it's nearing that position again, and it could possibly reclaim the throne soon if sales remain steady – or even improve.
Both of the lists reflect pure sales, though with slightly different focuses. The Official Physical Singles chart includes all forms of physical sales — CDs, vinyl, and cassettes — while the Official Vinyl Singles ranking only counts purchases made on vinyl formats.
While 'Angry' ranks in the same spot on both charts at the moment – and it's reached the same peak position – its history on each isn't exactly identical. On the Official Vinyl Singles list, the track has now racked up 32 weeks. Its performance is even more impressive on the Official Physical Singles chart, where it has held on for 54 frames.
At the moment, 'Angry' stands as The Rolling Stones' only hit single in the United Kingdom. The rock legends don't claim any other charting songs this week, but the band is present elsewhere.
Over on the Official Albums Streaming chart, The Rolling Stones hold firm with the fan-favorite compilation Forty Licks. The decades-spanning collection moves up four spaces, climbing from No. 82 to No. 78 on the streaming-only tally.
'Angry' was released in September 2023 as the lead single from Hackney Diamonds, The Rolling Stones' first album of brand new material in nearly two decades. The track marked a thrilling comeback for the band and earned a Grammy nomination for Best Rock Song, while the full-length won Best Rock Album.

Llywela Harris, music teacher who exerted a lasting influence over generations of girls
Llywela Harris, who has died aged 94, was a pint-sized music teacher who inspired generations of public schoolgirls to express themselves through song. The diminutive Llywela Harris possessed a Welsh scepticism of rank: to her, it did not matter where her young wards came from or how rich their Midlands industrialist parents might be. It was a question of where they might go harmonically. Her choir at Abbots Bromley school in Staffordshire dominated girls' music in the 1970s and 1980s, and later she was the warden of the Royal School of Church Music in London and administrator of the St Davids Cathedral Festival, Pembrokeshire. It was at St Davids that she spent her last 25 years, presiding over the tiny city's cultural life like a retired empress. Organists, conductors and visiting soloists were summoned to her cottage in Goat Street to have the rule run over them. Llywela Harris encouraged, cajoled and made things happen. Sir John Rutter composed for her and she marched her girls behind the Iron Curtain for a singing tour of Hungary. Had she been born a generation later she would likely have become a cathedral director of music. Instead, it was at the school of St Mary and St Anne, Abbots Bromley, that her creative energies found an outlet and where she exerted a lasting influence over generations of girls. She also became a mentor to Adrian Partington, now director of music at Gloucester Cathedral, and to Geraint Bowen, director of music at Hereford Cathedral, who received encouragement from Llywela Harris during his youthful posting at St Davids. Abbots Bromley, founded in 1874 by the Rev Nathaniel Woodard, was one of the Woodard group of schools, intended to provide a Christian education for the middle classes. They were sometimes described as 'chapels with a few buildings attached', but in this instance the chapel came with a terrier-like choir mistress with an ear for a duff note and an unerring nose for slackers. The school's motto, 'That our daughters may be as the polished corners of the temple' (Psalm 144), was never better exemplified than by Llywela Harris, who had herself been educated there. Abbots Bromley was her life, even after retirement. She was its Miss Chips. Llywela Vernon Harris was born on April 11 1931 at Lampeter in Cardiganshire, the second daughter of the Rev William Henry Harris, precentor of St Davids Cathedral and Professor of Theology and Welsh at St David's College, Lampeter. He translated several hymns and the office of compline into Welsh. Llywela's mother, sometime mayor of Lampeter, was a fine organist. Llywela and her sister Elizabeth spent their childhood walking the cliffs and bathing at Caerfai and Whitesands. She was sent to board at Abbots Bromley in 1940 and quickly distinguished herself as a pianist. In 1948 she began her studies at the Royal Academy of Music in London, under Douglas Hawkridge on the organ and Eric Thiman for composition. After gaining her LRAM she took a brief post at Southmoor prep school in Berkshire before she returned to Abbots Bromley as Director of Chapel Music in 1953. Apart from a stint at the Guildford girls' grammar school (1958-60) and a sabbatical at Stanford (1967), there she stayed. Under Llywela Harris's direction a typical week's chapel stretched to more than 10 hours of morning assemblies, compline, evensong, choral society, choir rehearsals, organ recitals, Holy Communion and the occasional dawn mass. Requests for a less onerous routine were met with masterly incomprehension. On Saturdays she took the entire school through the next week's choral music. She would sweep in to the assembly, all of 5ft 2in, and the silence was instant. Immaculately coiffeured and made-up, dressed in knee-length skirts, kitten heels and winged spectacles, she would play the opening chords of a hymn before patrolling the aisles, exhorting the girls – many towering over her – to sing. 'You are not singing to yourselves, ladies, and you are not singing to your mothers. You are singing to God, and He is a long way up.' Hundreds of youngsters bent to the will of a single, small Welsh woman. Each pupil was armed with an English Hymnal and the Briggs and Frere Manual of Plainsong. When 100 Hymns for Today was added to the arsenal, Harris proved surprisingly open to new hymns such as God of concrete, God of steel. A singable tune was the benchmark. Some days the noise levels were worthy of Cardiff Arms Park. Choir practices were more rigorous. Sins included inappropriate breath-taking, slouching, fidgeting and casual enunciation – 'Lord of hoSTS'. On Speech Day the girls would process, veiled like nuns, to St Nicholas village church, walking in pairs arranged in height order and singing all 26 verses of Jerusalem, My Happy Home – a tradition known to all as 'Jerry Heights'. There they would launch into Harris's upper-part reduction of CV Stanford's Te Deum in B flat, which had been rehearsed for weeks ('Judge has SIX beats, ladies!'). EW Naylor's setting of the Benedicite was a fixture of Lent term. Such canticles had faded from most Anglican worship, yet at Abbots Bromley they endured. Llywela Harris's teaching room, named Mozart, overlooked a dappled lawn where girls gathered for iced buns at break time. Many of her pupils became musicians for life. Her choir often sang at Lichfield Cathedral. They performed for Songs of Praise and for Radio 3's Let the People Sing, and released two albums. Llywela Harris marked her retirement from teaching in 1990 by riding away in a hot air balloon, serenaded by the girls singing the soul song Up, Up and Away. Then, after a four-year stint at the RSCM at Addington Palace in Croydon, where she tightened the ropes as its warden, she returned to Goat Street and ran the annual St Davids Cathedral Festival. In old age she spent afternoons listening to Radio 3's Choral Evensong, surrounded by her grandfather's watercolours of Oxford; beside her bed was a framed list of the school's choral society collaborations with Repton. Despite more than one engagement, Llywela Harris never married. Llywela Harris, born April 11 1931, died May 13 2025 Broaden your horizons with award-winning British journalism.

Derrick Henry's spot in future Adam Sandler film hinges on cracking this NFL milestone
Coming to the big screen near you: Adam Sandler and Derrick Henry (maybe). This week, Baltimore's star running back revealed to Dan Patrick, a good friend of Sandler's, that Sandler is his favorite actor and that he'd love to meet him one day. Patrick then upped the ante as he told Henry, who compiled 1,921 rushing yards last season in his first year with the Ravens, that if he could surpass 2,000 yards next season, he'd make sure to get him a spot in a Sandler movie. Advertisement 3 Adam Sandler spoke to Derrick Henry in a video to agree to the deal that would land Henry a role in a Sandler movie. The Dan Patrick Show The iconic actor and comedian agreed wholeheartedly. 'Yo Derrick, I just woke up, you know that. That's why I look disgusting — on top of the fact that I am disgusting,' Sandler joked at the start of a video message for Henry. 'I love ya, congrats on everything, 2,000 yards-plus gets you not only in the movie, but we have a nice dinner together and we talk about Dan Patrick's facial hair and how hard it is to grow it.' Advertisement Henry watched the video, grinning ear to ear. 'That's my dog, man,' Henry said as Sandler's message concluded. 'Hell yeah, man, that's cool as hell.' Henry then sent a heartfelt message to Patrick to thank him for getting him in contact with his favorite actor. Advertisement 'Dan thank you for sending the message for the video, that was really cool!' the Ravens running back wrote. 'Much love!' 3 Dan Patrick helped Derrick Henry get in contact with Adam Sandler. The Dan Patrick Show So, the stakes have been raised. Henry has reached 2,000 yards in a season just once across his nine-year NFL career — hitting the mark in year No. 5 of his eight seasons spent with the Tennessee Titans. Advertisement In his inaugural season with the Ravens in 2024-25, he just barely missed the mark. 3 Derrick Henry came up just short of 2,000 yards last season. AP But by coming up just 79 yards short, the 31-year-old — who was awarded a $30 million extension with the Ravens last month — certainly showed that he's got some left in the tank as he looks to jumpstart his movie career on the one condition that Patrick and Sandler laid out for him. The five-time Pro Bowler and 2020 AP Offensive Player of the Year has appeared in plenty of advertisements and commercials across his NFL years, so he's got some acting chops already.

Time is Running Out to Preserve Princess Diana's Legacy
The Princess Diana Museum Urges Immediate Donations Ahead of June 26 Auction LOS ANGELES, June 6, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- The Princess & The Platypus Foundation, the nonprofit behind The Princess Diana Museum, is making an urgent appeal ahead of a critical auction deadline. On June 26, 2025, Julien's Auctions will release a rare group of Princess Diana's personal items to the highest bidder—unless the Foundation can raise the necessary funds to preserve them for public access and future generations. The Foundation—owner and curator of the world's largest private collection of over 2,700 authenticated artifacts from Diana's life—is working quickly to secure these newly available, historically significant items before they are lost to private collectors. "These are not just objects for investment opportunists—they are a part of history and need to be preserved," said Renae Plant, Founder of The Princess Diana Museum. "They represent Diana's compassion, courage, and humanity. We must all come together now to keep them accessible to the world. Once they're gone, they could disappear from public view forever." For Plant, this mission is deeply personal. "My connection to Diana began in childhood," said Plant. "When I was twelve, I had the unforgettable opportunity to meet her during a visit to Australia. As she stepped into a black Rolls-Royce, she dropped a tiny clay platypus onto the ground. I rushed to return it, but a nearby policeman gently closed my hand and said, 'She must have dropped it to give it to you.' That quiet, graceful moment stayed with me — and unknowingly set me on the path to protect her legacy, not just with admiration, but with purpose." Plant met Diana a second time in Sydney in 1988, a moment forever tied to the now-iconic "Caring Dress," a bright blue colorful ensemble Diana frequently wore while visiting hospitals, children and humanitarian causes. "It was the dress she wore when she met me again," said Plant. "It has become a lasting symbol of her kindness, compassion, and commitment to others. It represents everything The Princess Diana Museum is about." "In October 2018, I was deeply honored to receive a letter from HRH Prince William and HRH Prince Harry, thanking me for informing them about the museum and my efforts to honor their mother's legacy. They shared that they were "most touched" by the work we are doing — a sentiment that moved me deeply and continues to guide every step I take in this journey" said Plant. The nonprofit's mission is to honor Diana's legacy through preservation, education, and charitable giving. The collection includes garments, handwritten letters, charity correspondence, and personal effects that span Diana's life—from her teenage years through her decades of humanitarian work. The Foundation has collaborated on major exhibitions with world-renowned institutions, including Historic Royal Palaces at Kensington Palace and The Kunstmuseum Den Haag. Beginning in 2026, it will launch a multi-year global tour of the collection, culminating in the creation of a permanent public exhibit in the United Kingdom. Immediate Action NeededWith just days left before the auction, the Foundation is calling on donors, sponsors, and supporters to help ensure these cultural treasures remain available to the public.
