PLAYLISTICLE: The Rolling Stones - Part Two [2021]

There has been a trend of big artists being featured on online exclusive EPs or playlists through streaming services since at least November 2018, when Bruce Springsteen's The Live Series debuted, part of a coordinated effort to fully introduce Springsteen's studio catalog and live recording archive to the streaming world. Springsteen continued The Live Series through Songs Under Cover Vol. 3 in 2024. In that same timeframe, artists like INXS, The Beatles, Paul McCartney, Bob Seger, Pink Floyd, Def Leppard, John Lennon, Billy Joel, and the Rolling Stones have also recontextualized parts of their catalogs into virtual EPs or exclusive streaming playlists either as stand-alone projects or as part of larger promotional efforts. As of August 2025, both Queen and Cat Stevens were actively releasing these EPs and playlists to streaming services. From 2020 through 2023, the Rolling Stones released thirty-three playlists and EPs. Today, we'll be covering the twelve 2021 releases from the Rolling Stones. As always, the listed sources are my best guesses and may not be accurate.
