The Rolling Stones have earned their place among the most important bands in music history. They rank among the best-selling artists of all time with over 250 million records sold. Their tours have grossed more than two billion dollars across six decades. The group broke new ground by creating their own record label in 1971, giving artists more control over their work. Songs from their catalog have been covered, sampled and featured in films countless times. Few bands have maintained such a high level of creativity and commercial success for so long. Their ability to evolve while staying true to their blues roots sets them apart from almost every other act of their era.
