• TikTok is a social media platform mostly geared to Generation Z. But that didn’t stop The Rolling Stones from joining in the fun.

The iconic rock band recently joined the platform, meaning that their catalog of music is now available for users to employ as backing tracks for video posts.

The band’s page comes with a guest playlist featuring 44 tracks, including “Angie,” “Beast Of Burden” and other hits.

• Former Oasis guitarist and songwriter Noel Gallagher has announced that an upcoming album from his new band, High Flying Birds, will drop on June 2.

The album, “Council Skies,” will be Gallagher’s fourth solo studio album. The album also features performances from Johnny Marr on three tracks. Gallagher described the album in a news release: “It’s going back to the beginning. Daydreaming, looking up at the sky and wondering about what life could be … that’s as true to me now as it was in the early ‘90s. When I was growing up in poverty and unemployment, music took me out of that, Top of the Pops on TV transformed your Thursday night into this fantasy world, and that’s what I think music should be. I want my music to be elevating and transforming in some way.”

• The National announced their ninth studio album, “First Two Pages of Frankenstein” will be released on April 28.

The new album, the follow-up to 2019′s “I Am Easy to Find,” will feature contributions from Taylor Swift, Sufjan Stevens, and Phoebe Bridgers

The band will then tour behind the album beginning in May. Support acts on the tour will include Patti Smith, Soccer Mommy and the Beths.

Lead singer Mick Jagger also opened a personal account on the app. Guitarist Keith Richards has been on the platform since 2021. TikTok has now made #TheRollingStones the official hashtag for the group.
