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.

Fleetwood Mac's Rumours Rewrites the Record Books—Again

UK Chart Milestone: 

Rumours Rewrites the Record Books—Again

A remarkable new UK milestone for Fleetwood Mac.

In the same week that Rumours becomes the first studio album in UK history to spend 500 weeks in the Top 40, it also climbs to No. 7 (up from 10), it's highest chart position in 670 weeks.

Released in 1977 and a chart-topper in 1978, Rumours was last this high in February 2013, following the release of its expanded and remastered editions across all formats. Notably, this surge comes without a brand-new variant release.

Instead, long-tail demand continues to do the heavy lifting:

• 7,330 total sales this week
• 3,382 units from vinyl alone, driven by the 2013 vinyl pressing and the March 2025 vinyl edition
• 345,352 21st-century vinyl sales in the UK, more than any other album

Rumours remains one of the 10 best-selling albums of all time, now boasting 5,378,700 total UK consumption units.

Even more impressive: this marks the fourth consecutive week of growth for Rumours, and the first time in 51 weeks it has charted higher than Fleetwood Mac’s blockbuster 2018 compilation 50 Years: Don’t Stop, which slips 8–9 (7,283 sales).

Nearly five decades on, Rumours isn’t just enduring — it’s still climbing.

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.

Fleetwood Mac’s Enduring Magic: “The Chain” Reconnects as Dreams Rise Once Again

Nearly fifty years after Rumours first rewired the landscape of pop and rock, Fleetwood Mac continue to defy time, trend, and turnover. This week marks a new milestone in the UK: “The Chain” has entered the Top 75 for the first time, Fleetwood Mac’s first NEW entry in the top 75 in 35 years, an extraordinary feat for a song whose heartbeat has never stopped echoing through British culture.

UNITED KINGDOM 

The Chain Pulls the Band Back into the Top 75

Fleetwood Mac score their 26th Top 75 hit as “The Chain” jumps 79-68 on the Official Singles Chart, surpassing its previous July peak of No. 76 and clocking 6,189 ACR units. That may sound like a statistic, but in context, it’s a revival story: a four-minute masterclass in tension, heartbreak, and unity that has now out-raced time itself.

“The Chain” joins Fleetwood Mac’s “big four” UK digital-era juggernauts — “Everywhere” (3.94 million units), “Dreams” (3.79 million), and “Go Your Own Way” (3.27 million), each now comfortably six-times-platinum in the streaming age. This renewed climb underscores how the streaming generation has adopted Rumours not as a relic, but as a living, breathing record.

Meanwhile, “Dreams,” Fleetwood Mac’s most enduring single on the UK charts, refuses to rest. The song climbs again this week, from No. 52 to No. 49, now logging an astonishing cumulative 52 weeks in the UK Top 75, a full year’s worth of modern-era visibility for a song that first peaked at No. 24 almost half a century ago. “Everywhere” remains a quiet constant at No. 83, part of a trio of Mac classics still soundtracking life in 2025 Britain.

On albums, 50 Years – Don’t Stop remains the band’s most consistent seller, holding firm at No. 7 with 7,495 sales, while Rumours edges up a notch to No. 18 on the Top 100 and continues to dominate on other charts: No. 6 on streaming albums, No. 24 on physical and sales lists, and No. 15 on vinyl. Nearly five decades on, Rumours sells like a record that has just come out.

And not to be overlooked, the collaboration between Miley Cyrus and Lindsey Buckingham with Mick Fleetwood on drums, “Secrets,” continues to show surprising longevity across download and sales charts, peaking at No. 13 on downloads and No. 16 on sales earlier this month. While its one-week cameo in the main Top 100 (peaking No. 86 on Sept 27) was brief, its cross-generational pairing feels emblematic of the Mac’s ongoing relevance to pop’s younger vanguard.

Buckingham Nicks, now in its fourth UK chart week following its long-awaited reissue, continues to impress. It ranks No. 32 on Album Sales, No. 28 on Physical Albums, and holds No. 7 on the Americana Chart, proving that the 1973 cult classic has finally found its audience half a century later.

UNITED STATES 

Rumours Reigns, The Chain Returns, and Nostalgia Still Streams

Across the Atlantic, Rumours continues its remarkable streak on the Billboard 200, climbing to No. 20. Greatest Hits holds steady at No. 105. On genre-specific tallies, the Mac remain unrivalled: No. 3 on Rock Albums and No. 4 on Rock & Alternative Albums, underscoring the LP’s unique status as both a pop and a rock institution.

Streaming tells an equally compelling story. “Dreams,” still riding residual waves from its 2020 viral resurgence, rises again on the Billboard Global 200 to No. 57 and reappears on the Global Excl. US chart at No. 116. More tellingly, “The Chain” makes a re-entry at No. 154 – suggesting a synchronized global spark likely tied to renewed playlist placement, social media traction, or cross-media exposure. Within the U.S., “Dreams” ranks No. 31 on the Top 50 Streaming Songs, while Rumours keeps its iron grip on the Top 50 Streaming Albums (No. 26) and Vinyl Albums (No. 11).

Sales charts echo that vitality: Rumours (No. 30 on Top Album Sales) remains one of the few ’70s albums selling enough pure copies to rank among 2025’s new releases. Meanwhile, Buckingham Nicks continues its U.S. momentum in week three at No. 20 on Album Sales and No. 9 on Indie Store Albums, a remarkable achievement for a title that spent five decades out of print.

In Canada, Rumours re-enters at No. 15, while Greatest Hits slides to No. 91, proving the Mac’s cross-border appeal remains as strong as ever.

THE REST OF THE WORLD 

Rumours Rolls On, The Chain Echoes Across Europe

From Dublin to Düsseldorf, Fleetwood Mac continues to show a remarkable global footprint.

In Ireland, 50 Years – Don’t Stop rises to No. 6, while Rumours holds at No. 16. Singles activity remains robust too: “Dreams” climbs to No. 48, “The Chain” to No. 63, and the beloved B-side “Silver Springs” edges up to No. 76, a rare sight for a track that never had a major single release.

Across continental Europe, the pattern is clear — Rumours never truly leaves the charts, it simply pauses before resuming its march.

Netherlands: No. 8 for Rumours, No. 97 for Tango in the Night – demonstrating multi-album endurance.

• Germany: Rumours rockets from No. 99 to No. 67 on the main chart and re-enters the Rock/Metal albums list at No. 14.
• Austria: steady at No. 54.
• Norway: No. 18.
• Sweden: Rumours rises to No. 31 and its singles gain momentum – “Dreams” up to No. 56 and “Everywhere” re-enters at No. 94.
• Croatia: a surprise re-entry for the self-titled 1975 Fleetwood Mac album at No. 37, showing even the deep catalog finds new life in 2025’s rediscovery era.

A Legacy That Refuses to Fade

What we’re seeing is more than nostalgia. Fleetwood Mac’s catalog is performing with the vitality of a current act a testament to the universal themes of Rumours, the multi-generational pull of Stevie Nicks’ and Lindsey Buckingham’s songwriting, and the band’s continued pop-culture presence. From viral moments to vinyl collectors, Fleetwood Mac is not merely maintaining relevance; they’re expanding it.

Nearly half a century on, the message remains unchanged: Never break the chain.

Fleetwood Mac Dominate UK Charts with Two Top 20 Albums and a Timeless Trio of Singles

From stadium anthems to vinyl bins, Fleetwood Mac continue to own the moment again.

If America’s gone full Rumours-mania (see this weeks US Charts), then the UK is deep in a full-blown Mac attack of its own.

Fleetwood Mac just pulled off the rarest of feats in the British music scene: two albums in the Top 20, three classic singles charting simultaneously, and a resurgence across every measurable metric from vinyl to downloads to digital streams. And they’ve done it not with a flashy tour or a viral scandal, but by simply being well Fleetwood Mac.

Let’s unpack the full scope of their chart conquest.

Albums: A Legacy in Double Vision

On the UK Top 100 Albums Chart, Fleetwood Mac currently have two albums in the Top 20:

No. 9 – 50 Years – Don’t Stop (down from No. 6, with a healthy 8,223 copies sold)
No. 17 – Rumours (slipping slightly from No. 14)

That means half a century after forming and nearly five decades after their landmark album, the band is still doing what most contemporary artists can only dream of out-charting acts a third their age.

And that’s just the surface.

Singles: Dreams Never Die They Just Rechart

On the UK Top 100 Singles Chart, three Mac staples are once again proving that timeless songwriting always finds new ears:

No. 51 – “Dreams” (up from No. 58)
No. 79 – “Everywhere” (holding near steady from No. 78)
No. 86 – “The Chain” (sliding from No. 76, but still clinging on with grit)

In the age of shuffle playlists and short attention spans, these tracks have become comfort food for the ears proof that Stevie Nicks whispering “Now here you go again” never really gets old.

Streaming: Holding Strong Where It Matters

The digital front tells a similar story.

UK Top 100 Streaming Chart:
No. 41 – “Dreams”
No. 69 – “Everywhere”
No. 73 – “The Chain”

And on the UK Streaming Albums Chart:
No. 6 – 50 Years – Don’t Stop (unchanged)
No. 18 – Rumours (down slightly from No. 19)

It’s a simple equation: Gen Z discovers The Chain on a Netflix docuseries or TikTok edit. Gen Z listens once. Gen Z never stops listening. Repeat.

Vinyl and Physical Sales: The Old School Still Rules

In the world of wax, Rumours continues its victory lap:

UK Vinyl Albums Chart:
No. 20 – Rumours (down from No. 13)

UK Albums Sales Chart:
No. 33 – Rumours (down from No. 22)

UK Album Downloads Chart:
No. 40 – Rumours (down from No. 23)
No. 98 – Greatest Hits (a quiet re-entry, like a well-worn cassette unearthed from an attic)

Fleetwood Mac aren’t just being streamed they’re being bought. That means fans want something they can touch. Something they can frame. Something they can hand down.

Because this isn’t just music it’s heirloom listening.

Scotland, Ireland, and Australia: Still Riding the Mac Wave

Scotland has kept Rumours locked at No. 23 this week unchanged, unmoved, unbothered. A stiff upper-lip chart performance if ever there was one.

In Ireland, Fleetwood Mac are thriving:
No. 4 – 50 Years – Don’t Stop (down one from No. 5)
No. 13 – Rumours (up three from No. 16)

Meanwhile, Australia still has Rumours inside the Top 15:
No. 13 – Rumours (down slightly from No. 11)

From Dublin to Melbourne, it’s clear that Fleetwood Mac isn’t just a British-American export it’s a global emotional language.

Why It Still Works (And Always Will)

There are legacy acts, and then there’s Fleetwood Mac. This isn’t just a catalogue this is a cultural memory, preserved in melody. They don’t need box sets or deluxe editions to remind people of what they meant. The charts are doing that for them.

The lyrics still cut. The production still shines. And the stories infused in every harmony and hook still feel alive, even in a digital age.

This week’s UK and international charts prove one thing: Fleetwood Mac aren’t riding a wave of nostalgia. They are the wave.

Fleetwood Mac once told us, “Players only love you when they’re playing.”

Apparently, they were wrong because the whole world is still playing them.
