Fleetwood Mac Make Chart History in Australia This Week


The Very Best Of Fleetwood Mac
The album, which has vaulted to #29 this week on Australia's Top 100 Albums Chart, has now accumulated a very impressive 300 weeks in the Top 100. This is the longest running album in Australian chart history!! Even though it never went higher than #16 on the chart, it has always had strong catalogue sales. Proof is that the album has managed to make the weekly Top 50 every year since its release in 2002. The Very Best Of Fleetwood Mac has now sold half a million units in Australia.

On-Sale at JB Hi-Fi:
Single Disc Australian Version: (not available in the US) $9.99
Two-Disc Australian Re-issue Version: $12.99

STEVIE NICKS gold certified "Crystal Visions... The Very Best Of" re-enters the Top 50 Catalogue Chart this week at #49.

RUMOURS after re-entering the chart last week at #34 drops off this weeks chart.

Chart Updates: Fleetwood Mac Australia & UK + Ken Caillat Book Signing Events

AUSTRALIA - June 4, 2012
Fleetwood Mac's 2CD "The Very Best Of Fleetwood Mac" surges back into the top half of the Top 100 Albums Chart re-entering the chart at #49 this week helped along no doubt by the discounted album price of $9.99 at JB Hi-Fi. The album needs to spend just one more week within the top 100, which it likely will, to mark it's 300th non-consecutive week in the Top 100. The album also re-enters the top 10 on the Top 50 Catalogue Chart moving from #14 last week to #6 this week.  Rumours also re-enters the Top 50 Catalogue Chart this week at #34 after being absent for awhile.

Fleetwood Mac's 1975 song "Landslide" was covered by Karise Eden on Australia's "The Voice" TV show. The song is included on "The Voice: The Final 24" album.  That album entered the Australian Top 100 Albums Chart at #26. Karise's version of Landslide was the highest charting song from the album entering the Top 100 Singles Chart at #14 and also #14 on the Top 40 Digital Tracks Chart. Fleetwood Mac's original version of Landslide from the white "Fleetwood Mac" album earlier today was the No. 1 Rock Song on iTunes Australia.
