Aerosmith's Historic Resurgence: Collaborations, Chart Milestones, and a Coaster's Final Ride

Aerosmith BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.

Aerosmith is experiencing a remarkable resurgence after their shock retirement announcement in 2024, and the past few days have delivered some genuinely significant developments. According to Billboard, the legendary rock band just made history by securing a Top 10 album on the Billboard 200 chart in six consecutive decades, from the 1970s through the 2020s. Their collaborative EP One More Time with British artist Yungblud debuted at number nine on the December 6 chart, making Aerosmith only the second group ever, after the Rolling Stones, to achieve this milestone. This marks their first new music in over a decade since 2012 album Music From Another Dimension.

The momentum continues with today's major announcement. According to ABC News and multiple rock outlets, Aerosmith and Yungblud have released a new version of their track Wild Woman featuring country music powerhouse Lainey Wilson, which dropped this week. The collaboration came together after Wilson joined Steven Tyler for a rousing performance of the Aerosmith classic Dream On at the sixth annual Jam for Janie charity event at the Hollywood Palladium in February 2025. Tyler and Perry were apparently so impressed that they decided to bring Wilson into the studio. According to reports, the three artists even shared an Instagram video of Yungblud FaceTiming with Wilson to discuss her vocal approach, complete with playful banter about their respective accents.

On the business front, there's a bittersweet development. According to multiple entertainment outlets, Disney announced they are closing the Aerosmith-branded Rock and Roll roller coaster at Disney's Hollywood Studios after 26 years of operation, replacing it with a Muppets-themed Electric Mayhem ride. While this represents the end of an era for one of the band's most iconic corporate partnerships, it also underscores their enduring cultural footprint.

Steven Tyler has been actively engaging on social media throughout these developments, sharing throwback content and teasing Wilson's involvement before it was officially confirmed. The collective momentum surrounding One More Time, which also hit number one in the UK for the first time in Aerosmith's history, positions the band as major players in the current music landscape despite their touring retirement.
