This week belongs squarely to Fleetwood Mac



UK Charts: 9 January 2026 | US Billboard Charts: 10 January 2026

This week belongs squarely to Fleetwood Mac, as Stranger Things delivers one of the most remarkable catalogue revivals in modern chart history.

UK: “Landslide” Finally Charts — 50 Years Later

Fleetwood Mac’s Landslide makes its first-ever appearance on the Official UK Singles Chart this week — an astonishing 50 years after its original release on the band’s self-titled 1975 album.
  • No. 20 on the UK Top 100 Singles Chart
  • 13,715 sales, the highest new entry of the week
Driven by its emotional placement in the Stranger Things finale

Despite its legendary status, this marks the first time the original Fleetwood Mac recording has charted in the UK. Previous versions had modest runs — The Chicks peaked at No. 55 in 2003, while the Glee cast reached No. 52 in 2011 — but neither matched the scale or cultural impact of this moment.

It’s a powerful reminder of how streaming-era exposure can rewrite chart history decades later.

Albums Surge: 50 Years – Don’t Stop Sets a New Peak

The ripple effect of “Landslide” extends across Fleetwood Mac’s catalogue, most notably lifting their 2018 compilation 50 Years – Don’t Stop to a new all-time peak:
  • UK Top 100 Albums: No. 3 (new peak)
  • 8,393 sales
  • 125th week in the UK Top 10
  • 373rd week inside the Top 75
Having already equalled its previous best at No. 4 last week, the album now climbs higher, powered directly by renewed interest in “Landslide.”

Meanwhile, Rumours continues its extraordinary evergreen run across every major format.
