Twenty\u00a0years ago, Rod Stewart<\/strong> topped the U.S. charts with Stardust: The Great American Songbook, Volume III, <\/em>a collection of standards. Now he’s topped the U.K. charts with another collection of standards \u2014 this time done in an upbeat, big-band style.<\/p>\n

Swing Fever,<\/em> Rod’s new album with Squeeze<\/strong> keyboardist-turned-bandleader Jools Holland<\/strong>, has hit #1 in their\u00a0home country. Rod says\u00a0in a video<\/a>, “Are we happy about this, Jools? Totally unexpected.\u201d Holland adds, “I\u2019m so happy, this has never happened to me before. I\u2019m absolutely delighted, thank you so much.\u201d<\/p>\n

Rod wrote<\/a>\u00a0on Instagram,\u00a0“What a beautiful day 1st of March and number 1 in the charts. From the bottom of my heart I thank everyone involved in the success of Swing Fever and the immense effort you\u2019ve all achieved for a couple of old timers.”\u00a0<\/p>\n

While this is Rod’s 11th #1 LP in the U.K. \u2014 and his first in four years \u2014 it’s Holland’s first one. “It means more to me than anything I’ve ever had,” Holland tells the BBC<\/a>. “I think the last big-band record that was number one was probably in 1946.” The highest he’d gotten previously was #3, with a Squeeze best-of album.<\/p>\n

Rod tells the BBC he still remembers the moment he heard he’d gotten his first #1 album, 1971’s Every Picture Tells a Story<\/em>. “I was driving along in my nice Bentley … it came on the radio in the afternoon that the album was number one and also number one in America,” he recalls.<\/p>\n

“I drove around and went all the way back to my mum and dad’s house, gave them a big hug and we all had a cry together. So I remember it like it was yesterday.”<\/p>\n<\/section>\n
