Jagger and Jennifer Lopez feature on the new will.i.am song ‘T.H.E. (The Hardest Ever).

The song debuted at number 3 on the UK chart today making it the first time Sir Mick has been in the Top 10 in 27 years.

The last time Jagger was in the chart was with ‘Dancing In The Street’, his duet with David Bowie. That song held top spot in England for four weeks.

Jagger told TheOfficialChart.com “We had a great time recording the track and I’m glad that UK music lovers are liking it!”

‘Dancing In The Street’ was also the only time Jagger has been in the Top 10 in the UK before today. As a solo artist he has also only ever had one Top 10 album ‘She’s The Boss’, also in 1985.

The last time the Rolling Stones made the UK Top 10 was 32 years ago for ‘Start Me Up’ in 1980. It reached no. 7.

The last Rolling Stones song to top the UK chart was ‘Honky Tonk Women’ in 1969.
