Fleetwood Mac Log First Billboard Hot 100 Debut in 23 Years!

Fleetwood Mac’s ‘Landslide’ Debuts on Hot 100 More Than 50 Years After Its Release

BY XANDER ZELLNER

Billboard

Fleetwood Mac’s classic studio version of “Landslide,” released in 1975, reaches the Billboard Hot 100 at last, debuting at No. 41 on the Jan. 17-dated chart.

The song hits the Hot 100 following its placement in the series finale of Netflix’s Stranger Things, released Dec. 31. It generated 7 million official U.S. streams (up 43% week over week), 888,000 radio audience impressions (up 10%) and 1,000 downloads sold (up 15%) Jan. 2-8, according to Luminate.

Fleetwood Mac first released “Landslide” in July 1975 on its self-titled 10th studio album — the group’s first project featuring Stevie Nicks as a vocalist and Lindsey Buckingham as a guitarist. Nicks solely wrote the song and delivers its lead vocals.

Despite becoming one of the band’s most enduring compositions, “Landslide” was never issued as an official single during its original run. Still, it remained a staple of Fleetwood Mac’s live performances, as well as Nicks’ solo tours. A live version was released as a single in 1997, following its inclusion on the band’s album The Dance. That rendition debuted on the Hot 100 in July 1998 and peaked at No. 51 that August, while also reaching No. 10 on Adult Contemporary and No. 26 on Adult Pop Airplay.

Several covers of “Landslide” by other acts have charted over the years. The Chicks’ version climbed to No. 7 on the Hot 100 in March 2003, while the Glee cast’s take, featuring Gwyneth Paltrow, hit No. 23 in 2011. More notable remakes found success across other charts: Smashing Pumpkins’ cover reached No. 3 on Alternative Airplay and No. 30 on Radio Songs in 1994; Kat Perkins’ version hit No. 35 on Hot Rock & Alternative Songs in 2014 after her performance on NBC’s The Voice; and Chloe Kohanski’s interpretation peaked at No. 26 on the same chart also after a performance on The Voice.

With the entrance of “Landslide,” Fleetwood Mac logs its 26th career entry on the Hot 100 and first debut in 23 years, since “Peacekeeper” debuted at No. 93 in March 2003 (before peaking at No. 80 that May).

The group’s most recent Hot 100 appearance came earlier this decade. In 2020, its 1977 No. 1 hit “Dreams” re-entered after a viral TikTok featuring Nathan Apodaca skateboarding while sipping Ocean Spray Cran-Raspberry juice sparked a massive streaming resurgence. The clip’s popularity resulted in recreations from several members of Fleetwood Mac, including Nicks and Mick Fleetwood. The song rebounded to No. 12 in October 2020.

Thanks to “Landslide,” Fleetwood Mac has now debuted on the Hot 100 in five different decades: the ‘70s, ‘80s, ‘90s, 2000s and ‘20s. The band joins a select list of groups with debuts on the chart in at least five decades, a landmark last attained by The Beatles when “Now and Then” launched in the top 10 in November 2023. Other groups with at least five decades of Hot 100 debuts include The Isley Brothers (six), The Rolling Stones and Santana (five each).

Fleetwood Mac's 2018 Compilation 50 Years - Don't Stop Makes History

UK, Ireland & Scotland Chart Positions January 2, 2026

Fleetwood Mac’s career-spanning 2018 compilation 50 Years: Don’t Stop surges 6 - 4 on the UK Albums Chart, equalling the highest position of its chart career, previously reached 36, 34 and 30 weeks ago. The set logs 7,653 units, driven almost entirely by streaming with just 48 CDs and one digital download contributing to the total.

Its tally now stands at 124 weeks inside the UK Top 10, extending its record as the longest-running artist compilation in Top 10 history. This week’s jump also sees it move back ahead of Fleetwood Mac’s 1977 landmark album Rumours, which slips from last week’s 672-week high of No. 5 to No. 11 on sales of 5,827 units.

Despite sharing six tracks with the most expansive edition of 50 Years: Don’t Stop, Rumours continues to demonstrate a very different retail profile. Its latest breakdown includes 1,951 vinyl albums, alongside CDs, downloads and streams - reinforcing its dominance as the best-selling vinyl album of the 21st century with 350,719 copies sold. By contrast, 50 Years: Don’t Stop has accumulated just 2,721 vinyl sales, suggesting that a future vinyl reissue could easily propel it to an even higher chart peak.

Elsewhere, Fleetwood Mac’s catalogue makes a major impact across the UK singles chart, with Dreams, Everywhere, and The Chain all returning to the Top 100, underlining the band’s multi-generational appeal as 2026 gets underway.

In the United States, Rumours continues to outperform expectations nearly five decades after its release, rising to No. 12 on Top Album Sales, climbing on the Vinyl Albums chart to No. 7, and improving to No. 6 on Indie Store Album Sales - a clear sign of sustained demand among physical buyers and core catalog consumers.

The album also holds firm near the top of Billboard’s genre charts, remaining No. 4 on Top Rock Albums and No. 5 on Top Rock & Alternative Albums, while Greatest Hits continues to register solid multi-format activity across the same charts.

On the songs side, Silver Springs remains a notable presence on Rock Digital Song Sales, landing at No. 10 after last week’s No. 2 peak. Its continued digital performance underscores the song’s enduring resonance and places it alongside contemporary rock releases - a rare feat for a deep-catalog track as 2026 begins.

Fleetwood Mac Closing out 2025 Riding High on The Charts

The Last Album Charts for 2025 in the UK and US

At its highest position for nearly 13 years after climbing 10–7 last week, Rumours continues its remarkable resurgence, rising again to No. 5 on the UK Albums Chart with 7,181 sales. That marks a 672-week high, underlining the album’s extraordinary longevity nearly five decades on.

Vinyl remains the dominant force behind the climb, contributing 3,405 sales this week and powering Rumours to No. 2 on the UK Vinyl Albums Chart, second only to Olivia Dean’s The Art Of Loving. The sustained demand highlights the album’s enduring appeal among collectors and new listeners alike.

Meanwhile, Fleetwood Mac’s 2018 compilation 50 Years – Don’t Stop also enjoys a strong showing, moving up to No. 6 on the UK Albums Chart with 7,155 units sold. Together, the two titles give Fleetwood Mac a rare and impressive double presence near the very top of the chart as 2025 draws to a close.

Billboard Last Charts of 2025

While Fleetwood Mac’s albums continue to post steady gains across Billboard’s album charts, the standout story this week belongs to Silver Springs, which is holding firm at No. 2 on the Rock Digital Song Sales chart — a massive achievement for a song first released nearly 50 years ago. 

 The track remains locked at No. 2 for a second consecutive week, while also maintaining strong positions on both the Hot Rock Songs chart (No. 12) and the Hot Rock & Alternative Songs chart (No. 13). Its sustained digital demand places Silver Springs alongside contemporary releases, underscoring its continued cultural and emotional resonance with modern audiences. 

 On the album side, Rumours rises on multiple U.S. sales-driven charts, including Top Album Sales, Vinyl Albums, and Indie Store Album Sales, while also maintaining a solid No. 4 ranking on the Top Rock & Alternative Albums chart. In Canada, Rumours returns to the Top 30 at No. 25, reinforcing Fleetwood Mac’s cross-border appeal as 2025 closes with renewed momentum.

From B-Side to Billboard: Fleetwood Mac’s Catalog Surge Powers New Chart Highs

Fleetwood Mac’s catalog continues to demonstrate remarkable longevity, with both classic albums and deep-cut songs enjoying renewed commercial and cultural momentum across multiple Billboard charts this week.

On the albums front, Live 1975 makes an immediate impact following its vinyl reissue for Record Store Day Black Friday. The title debuts at No. 30 on the Billboard Top 50 Current Albums, lands at No. 8 on the Top 25 Indie Store Album Sales chart, and enters the Top 50 Album Sales chart at No. 47, marking it as a new release in that ranking, with sales of 5,200 copies sold in the US.  The strong performance underscores the continued demand for archival Fleetwood Mac material, particularly in physical formats.

Meanwhile, Rumours remains a cornerstone of the band’s commercial presence. The iconic 1977 album sits at No. 27 on the Billboard 200, climbs to No. 15 on Top Album Sales, appears at No. 48 on Top Streaming Albums, ranks No. 9 on the Top 25 Vinyl Albums chart, and continues its dominance within rock-focused tallies—holding No. 4 on Top 50 Rock & Alternative Albums and No. 3 on Top 25 Rock Albums. Greatest Hits also maintains steady traction, charting at No. 139 on the Billboard 200, No. 33 on Top Rock & Alternative Albums, and No. 25 on Top Rock Albums.

While the albums reaffirm Fleetwood Mac’s enduring appeal, it is “Silver Springs”—once relegated to B-side status—that provides the week’s most striking story. Long regarded by fans as one of the band’s most emotionally resonant recordings, the song is now experiencing a full-scale revival thanks to a viral TikTok trend. An audio mashup combining “Silver Springs” with Billy Joel’s “Piano Man” has been widely used to underscore personal, life-changing moments, propelling the decades-old track into renewed global consumption. Even Mick Fleetwood himself (on Instagram) participated in the trend, further amplifying its reach.

As a result, “Silver Springs” debuts at No. 16 on the Hot Rock Songs chart and No. 17 on the Hot Rock & Alternative Songs chart, giving Fleetwood Mac their first new rock-chart hit in more than three years, following 2022’s viral resurgence of “Everywhere.” The song also surges on the Rock Digital Song Sales chart, climbing from No. 14 to No. 4 in its second week, making it the fourth-highest-peaking digital rock single of the band’s career. With this achievement, Fleetwood Mac now boasts seven top-10 hits on that chart, trailing only perennial leaders like “Dreams,” “Everywhere,” and “The Chain.”

The renewed interest in “Silver Springs” coincides with another milestone: Live 1975 becomes Fleetwood Mac’s 20th top-selling album in the United States, reinforcing the group’s rare ability to generate new commercial successes long after their recording career has slowed.

The momentum is not confined to North America. In the UK, Fleetwood Mac currently place two albums in the Top 10. 50 Years: Don’t Stop slips slightly to No. 8 with 7,373 sales, while Rumours climbs from No. 13 to No. 10, selling 6,556 units. Notably, Rumours has improved its chart position for three consecutive weeks and returns to the UK Top 10 for the first time in 85 weeks, further evidence of the album’s sustained global relevance.  In Ireland 50 Years: Don’t Stop holds at No. 7 for the week while Rumours holds down the No. 12 position again this week. 

Taken together, the week’s chart activity paints a clear picture: Fleetwood Mac’s catalog is not merely enduring—it is actively evolving, finding new audiences through modern platforms while continuing to reward longtime fans. From vinyl reissues to viral rediscoveries, the band’s music remains as commercially potent and culturally resonant as ever.

Fleetwood Mac’s ‘Rumours’ Climbs Again as Global Chart Momentum Builds

 

Chart Week Ending: October 25, 2025

Nearly five decades after its release, Rumours continues to prove why it remains one of the most resilient albums in rock history. This week’s charts across the UK, USA, and beyond reveal another wave of upward movement for Fleetwood Mac and even a few surprising rebounds from Buckingham Nicks and Greatest Hits that underscore just how deep the band’s catalog still resonates.

United Kingdom – Steady Streams and Physical Slowdown

After last week’s celebration of The Chain returning to the UK Top 75 for the first time in 35 years, this week’s focus turns to the albums, and the story is one of quiet consistency.

50 Years – Don’t Stop maintains a powerful No. 8 position on the Official Albums Chart with 7,337 weekly sales, remaining the band’s flagship compilation and a fixture in the UK’s streaming culture. Rumours follows at No. 24, marking its 1,000th-plus week in the Top 100 across its various runs since 1977.

On the Streaming Albums Chart, both titles hold steady with Don’t Stop at No. 6 and Rumours at No. 20, reflecting how Fleetwood Mac continue to thrive most strongly in the digital space. However, on the Album Sales and Physical Albums charts, Rumours dips slightly to No. 40, signaling a natural slowdown following a late-summer vinyl surge.

Still, Rumours makes a re-entry at No. 67 on the Album Downloads chart, suggesting renewed digital purchasing likely sparked by Fleetwood Mac’s visibility in playlists following “The Chain”’s recent resurgence.

Meanwhile, Buckingham Nicks remains comfortably placed on the UK Americana Chart at No. 7 in its fifth week in the Top 10, while ranking No. 53 on Album Sales and No. 50 on Physical Albums, a testament to how enduring interest in the duo’s pre-Mac history remains.

On singles, the band’s “big three” remain solid fixtures:

• “Dreams” holds at No. 49, now marking its 53rd week inside the Top 75 since its streaming-era rebirth.
• “The Chain” slides slightly to No. 74, yet continues to outperform expectations for a nearly 50-year-old album track.
• “Everywhere” stays put at No. 83, completing the trio’s unbroken chart presence.

Even more impressive is that on the Streaming Songs Chart, all three remain within the Top 100. “Dreams” stands at No. 48, “The Chain” at No. 72, and “Everywhere” at No. 84, underscoring their multi-generational appeal in the digital era.

In Scotland, Rumours dips to No. 37, while Buckingham Nicks settles at No. 42, maintaining regional traction.

United States – Fleetwood Mac Rise Again on the Artist 100

Across the Atlantic, Fleetwood Mac post another strong showing, not only with Rumours climbing to No. 19 on the Billboard 200, but also with the band themselves surging to No. 13 on the Billboard Artist 100, their highest placement in months.

That metric, which blends streaming, sales, and airplay across the band’s full discography, suggests a broad resurgence in attention. Rumours also climbs across key format charts:

No. 29 on Top Album Sales,

No. 27 on Streaming Albums, and

No. 9 on Vinyl Albums, its highest vinyl position since spring.

On the genre charts, Rumours sits firmly in the upper tier at No. 5 on Rock & Alternative Albums and No. 4 on Rock Albums, while Greatest Hits continues at No. 21 on both lists.

The enduring Rumours renaissance continues to be powered by “Dreams,” which edges up again to No. 30 on the Top 50 Streaming Songs, still benefitting from playlists and social virality.

Meanwhile, the Buckingham Nicks reissue keeps its niche momentum alive, holding No. 10 on the Indie Store Album Sales Chart, while Rumours makes a surprise re-entry there at No. 17, evidence that vinyl and boutique retailers are once again championing the Mac catalog.

In Canada, an intriguing reversal occurs as Greatest Hits leaps from No. 91 to No. 13, while Rumours slides to No. 89, marking a rotation in consumer attention toward compilation buyers and new vinyl adopters. I also think this has to do with streaming and where the sales are directed each week. The last couple of weeks they've been flip flopping, which is odd.

Rest of the World – Continental Resilience and a Nordic Plateau

Fleetwood Mac’s global endurance remains extraordinary. Across Europe, Rumours continues to chart almost everywhere, often holding its ground or even regaining spots despite little promotion.

In the Netherlands, Rumours remains a Top 10 staple at No. 10, while Tango in the Night exits after a brief cameo.

In Germany, the album edges up to No. 71 after last week’s rebound into the Top 100.

Norway remains steady at No. 20, its best 2025 standing since early summer.

Sweden holds at No. 31, while “Everywhere” and “Dreams” continue to linger on streaming lists there.

In Ireland, 50 Years – Don’t Stop slips just one place to No. 7, while Rumours follows at No. 17. On the singles front, “Dreams” falls slightly to No. 52, “The Chain” stays even at No. 63, and “Landslide” makes a re-entry at No. 75, an echo of Stevie Nicks’ enduring solo resonance.

Conclusion – Half a Century On, the Story Still Plays

What’s remarkable about Fleetwood Mac’s October chart performance is not just longevity but balance. Rumours sells in every measurable format, from streaming and physical to vinyl, indie, and digital. “The Chain” and “Dreams” persist as evergreen singles that behave like modern hits. And Buckingham Nicks, half a century after its original release, now moves units in both the United States and the United Kingdom simultaneously.

Few artists from the classic rock era have achieved such cross-generational stability. For Fleetwood Mac, it is less a comeback than a continued conversation, one that began in 1977 and still resonates with the same emotional clarity today.

As Rumours approaches its 50th anniversary in 2027, the numbers keep proving what fans have always known: some records never grow old. They just find new listeners to believe in them.
