A new official group has been established on Facebook as a campaign to take the new Rolling Stones single, 'Plundered My Soul' to number one of the UK charts in just seven days. Purchase the single when it comes out on Friday 16th of April (or within the next week) to help it reach No.1!
It's a significant release as the track is actually from the 1972 'Exile On Main Street' sessions that has been given a 2010 tweak by Mick and Keith for an official single release.
If this tops the charts the Rolling Stones will break the chart record for the longest gap between a No.1 single for an artist, with 'Honky Tonk Women' being their last UK chart-topper back in 1969.

The other day we reported that Plundered My Soul was being released as a single and All Down The Line as its B-side. Well, now you can pre-order the tracks from iTunes. The total cost for the single is 1.49 pounds (both tracks included) and, as far as I'm aware, it's currently only available in the United Kingdom. However, if you pre-order it (which I already have) it will automatically download on the release date, 16th April 2010 (a week from now). Click here for more information on how to pre-order the single! In iTunes, you can also here a 30 second preview of the track before you buy it (if you want to spoil it for yourself!).
iTunes has also blessed us with the never-before-seen album art of the single. It features the Rolling Stones tongue filled with the Exile photo-pattern, with 'Plundered My Soul' written on the top-right in the standard Exile font. Look to the top of this post to see the preview!

Considered by many to be the Rolling Stones' greatest ever studio album, Exile On Main Street is being re-issued, complete with ten tracks bonus tracks, four of which have never been heard before (not even on bootleg). The new tracks include titles such as "Plundered My Soul," "Dancing in the Light," "Following the River" and "Pass The Wine". Also included in the bonus material are alternate recordings of "Loving Cup" and "Soul Survivor".
The Daily Mail has reported, "An insider who has heard two of the tracks said: Plunder My Soul is a classic authentic blues riff with an unmistakable Keith lick and abstract lyrics from Mick, while Following The River is a classic ballad in the tradition of Wild Horses.
