Rod Stewart

Rod Stewart is the former front man of The Faces, launching his solo career with a string of Number 1 hits in the Seventies - and famously kept the Sex Pistols from the summit with his 1977 chart topper I Don't Want To Talk About It/The First Cut Is The Deepest. While it's almost impossible to believe, in December 2019 the ageless Rod the Mod became the oldest male solo artist to ever top the Official Albums Chart. At 74 years and 11 months old, Rod beat previous record-holder Paul Simon by three months with his 10th Number 1 album You're In My Heart with the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra.
