Fleetwood Mac Take Over Global Charts With Two Albums, Four Singles, and One Undeniable Legacy
“Rumours” Reigns Supreme, “50 Years – Don’t Stop” Powers Forward, and Classic Hits Re-enter the Conversation
It’s official: Fleetwood Mac are having yet another moment—and they didn’t even have to record a new album to do it.
Nearly 50 years after Rumours first rewrote the rulebook on pop-rock, Fleetwood Mac are storming charts across the globe this week like it’s 1977 all over again (except now, they’re doing it with streaming numbers, vinyl sales, and download charts most of them probably never imagined). The band currently boasts two albums in the UK Top 20, four singles on the UK Top 100, and chart presence in eight countries across more than a dozen different categories.
So what exactly is going on? Let’s break it down.
UK: Rumours Still Rules, But "Don’t Stop" Is Shifting Gears
On the UK Top 100 Albums Chart, Fleetwood Mac are pulling double duty:
- #6 — 50 Years – Don’t Stop (down two, but still holding strong)
- #18 — Rumours (down six, but still very much in the game)
That's two albums in the Top 20, including a career-spanning compilation and an album that’s older than most of the UK Top 40 itself. Not bad for a band that hasn’t toured in years.
Even more impressively, they're soundtracking British life this week across multiple singles charts. On the UK Top 100 Singles:
- #53 — “Dreams” (up 10 spots — someone’s been on TikTok again)
- #77 — “Everywhere” (up 8 spots — still a perennial favorite)
- #95 — “The Chain” (a re-entry — cue the F1: Drive to Survive fans)
And on the UK Streaming Songs chart:
- #40 — “Dreams”
- #54 — “Everywhere”
- #70 — “The Chain”
- #93 — “Go Your Own Way” (re-entry — possibly due to a breakup montage or two)
Meanwhile, on UK album-specific charts:
- #6 — 50 Years – Don’t Stop (Streaming Albums)
- #17 — Rumours (Streaming Albums)
- #28 — Rumours (Album Sales)
- #42 — Rumours (Downloads)
- #13 — Rumours (Vinyl Albums — because of course it’s on vinyl)
In short, Fleetwood Mac are streaming, selling, and spinning across every UK chart that matters.
Ireland & Scotland: Celtic Devotion Runs Deep
The Irish clearly know a classic when they hear one. On the Ireland Top 100 Albums:
- #4 — 50 Years – Don’t Stop
- #21 — Rumours
And on the Singles Chart:
- #52 — “Dreams”
- #80 — “Everywhere”
- #95 — “The Chain” (yet another re-entry)
Scotland’s not far behind. Rumours holds the #23 spot on the Scottish Top 100 Albums Chart, proving the band’s tartan appeal remains intact.
North America: The U.S. Remains Loyal
Over in the U.S., Fleetwood Mac’s chart grip is equally strong:
- #24 — Rumours (Billboard 200, up one spot)
- #127 — Greatest Hits
Streaming and sales metrics paint a similarly impressive picture:
- #26 — Rumours (Album Sales)
- #27 — Rumours (Streaming Albums)
- #14 — Rumours (Vinyl Albums)
On rock-specific charts, the band sits comfortably:
- #3 — Rumours (Rock Albums)
- #4 — Rumours (Rock & Alternative Albums)
- #23 & #28 — Greatest Hits (both categories)
And on the Streaming Songs chart?
- #35 — “Dreams”, still floating on its dreamy revival wave.
In Canada, Rumours climbs to #22 on the Top Albums chart.
Fleetwood Mac may be competing against Olivia Rodrigo and Taylor Swift on the Billboard charts, but they’re doing it with songs recorded during the Carter administration.
Rest of the World: Rumours Circulate Far and Wide
Australia keeps it consistent at #17, while Austria welcomes the album back at #71 — its return to the Top 100 marking a quiet but clear resurgence in Central Europe.
All this activity across countries and formats reveals one major theme: Fleetwood Mac aren’t just surviving—they’re thriving across formats, generations, and algorithms.
So, What’s Fueling the Fire?
Some chalk it up to syncs in TV shows. Others point to TikTok nostalgia. A few blame Gen Z discovering the band through their parents’ records and never looking back. Whatever the cause, the result is clear: Fleetwood Mac is charting globally in a way most modern artists would envy.
And with the 50th anniversary of Rumours just two years away, we may only be in the opening act of yet another Mac renaissance.
If this is what "retirement" looks like for Fleetwood Mac, we hope they never stop.
