On 27 January 2023, it was announced that their album What's Rock and Roll? had topped the UK Albums Chart, making it the Reytons' first chart-topping album.[4]
On 26 January 2024, The Reytons released their third studio album Ballad Of A Bystander. Following a heated chart battle with James Arthur, the album lost out on the number one spot in what was reported to be controversial circumstances when the band were deducted over 2,000 chartable sales 'following an industry complaint'. [5]
The Reytons played their biggest show to date on 6th July 2024, with a 20,000 capacity sold-out concert in Rotherham's Clifton Park. Dubbed 'Disneyland' by the band's fans, it is the biggest live music event the town has hosted, and the most notable since T-Rex played the park's bandstand in 1971.[6][7] A study by Sheffield Hallam University revealed that the event contributed an impressive £1 million to Rotherham’s economy and £1.36 million benefit for South Yorkshire. [8]
In September 2024, the band revealed that former England and Manchester United footballer Gary Neville had joined the band in support of an upcoming UK & Ireland headline tour, although this was later revealed to be only part of a promotional campaign for the tour. [9][10]
