Forty Licks is a double compilation album by The Rolling Stones. A forty-year career-spanning retrospective, Forty Licks is notable for being the first retrospective to combine the band's formative Decca/London era of the 1960s, now licensed by ABKCO Records, with their self-owned post-1970 material, currently distributed by Virgin Records.

History
Forty Licks was compiled following the enormous success of The Beatles' 1 compilation from 2000. Released in September, Forty Licks peaked at #2 in the UK and US - behind Elvis Presley's 30 #1 Hits package — selling several million units worldwide, not least in the United States, where it is certified quadruple platinum. Of the four new songs featured on Disc Two, "Don't Stop" was promoted as a single, becoming a minor hit in both the UK and the US.
Concurrently with the album's release, The Rolling Stones embarked on the successful, year-long international Licks Tour, which would result in Live Licks in 2004.
