Time is the twenty-eighth studio album by Rod Stewart, it was released on 3 May 2013 in the UK, on 7 May in the US and Canada, and on 8 May in Japan under the title "Time: Toki no Tabibito" (タイム~時の旅人~). [3] [2] In May 2013, Stewart released Time , a rock album of his own original material. It marked a return to songwriting after what Stewart termed "a dark period of twenty years"; he said that writing his autobiography gave him the impetus to write music again. [4] The album entered the top 10 in the US and entered the UK Albums Chart at No. 1, setting a new British record for the longest gap between chart-topping albums by an artist, as his last studio album to reach the top spot was A Night on the Town in 1976. [5] The album was certified platinum in the UK on 16 August 2013 and double-platinum on 29 December 2017. [6] Overall, the album was the No. 7 best-selling album of 2013 in the UK. [7] In the United States, the album has sold 141,000 copies as of September 2015. [8]
