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 Fans - 2026 is shaping up to be a particularly significant year
UNCUT Magazine (January 2026 issue), in its 2026 Albums Preview section, highlighted an anticipated new release from Stevie Nicks, signaling that new material from the Rock & Roll Hall of Famer is firmly on the horizon for 2026.
In addition, Mick Fleetwood has been quietly developing a solo project that is widely expected to surface in 2026. Lindsey Buckingham is also reported to have a completed or near-completed album ready for release within the same timeframe. While formal announcements have yet to be made, industry chatter suggests that these projects may be strategically timed to align with the upcoming Apple-produced Fleetwood Mac documentary, currently expected to debut in 2026.
If these plans come to fruition, 2026 is shaping up to be a particularly significant year for fans, with multiple new releases connected to the Fleetwood Mac universe arriving alongside a major documentary event—offering both fresh music and renewed historical context for one of rock’s most enduring legacies.
FLEETWOOD MAC DOMINATES YEAR END BILLBOARD CHARTS 2025
Nearly 50 years after its release, Fleetwood Mac's Rumours isn't just the best selling classic rock album of 2025, it's the 25th-best selling record of the year overall.
Of course, the very top of the 2025 year-end Billboard 200 Albums chart is dominated by younger pop, country and rap stars such as Taylor Swift, Morgan Wallen and Kendrick Lamar. But only 21 of them put out a record that sold more than Rumours. (Swift has two albums in the top 24, and Wallen has three.)
Fleetwood Mac appear in the Top 200 twice, with their 1988 compilation Greatest Hits turning up at No. 136. All but four of the 20 classic rock albums that made this year's chart are best-of collections, as you can see in the list below. Sublime's 1996's self-titled record, Metallica's 1991 "Black Album" and Nirvana's Nevermind were the only records to buck this trend.
You can see the full list below:

Stevie Nicks Still Reigns in the Rain: Tampa Show Delivers Pure Icon Energy
Concert review: Stevie Nicks delivers a timeless performance in Tampa
The Fleetwood Mac legend still delivers the goods — and the goosebumps — with her one-of-a-kind voice.

On a wet, dreary day in Tampa, it was left to Stevie Nicks to bring us into the light.
And, boy, did she ever.
The hall of famer breezed onto the stage Sunday, mostly recovered from the fractured shoulder that delayed her Florida tour stops by 14 weeks.
Nicks’ primary instrument needed no mending — that unmatched, unmistakable breathe-only-through-your-mouth patented voice of hers.
At 77, she remains mesmerizing and enchanting. A total goddess, spreading goosebumps like fairy dust.
Some great singers can raise the hairs on your forearms every now and again. Try evoking that reaction from your audience five times a song. That’s the indelible Nicks quotient.
A packed house greeted her enthusiastically as she grabbed hold of a microphone stand wrapped in sequined scarves and launched into the 1950s classic “Not Fade Away.” How fitting that an icon such as Nicks, who has inspired so many modern-day singers for her style, stage presence and songwriting, would open with music from one of her early influences, the great Buddy Holly.
She wore high black boots, a long charcoal skirt and blonde hair permed like it could be 1980 all over again.
Nicks is not a prolific songwriter, but she manages to make them count. “When the rain washes you clean, you’ll know,” she crooned during a near flawless version of “Dreams,” the first of four Fleetwood Mac songs she would offer.
We’re half a century removed from when she joined Fleetwood Mac as her romantic partner Lindsey Buckingham’s plus one, before emerging as a primary focal point. Buckingham and Nicks had dropped out of college at San Jose State (my alma mater … go Spartans!!) before recording together one barely noticed album. But Mick Fleetwood had heard enough to recognize something special about Buckingham’s finger-picking guitar playing. He was recruited to replace Bob Welch. Buckingham agreed to come along — but only if the band took his girlfriend, too. The rest, as they say, is history.
Just a few months ago, Nicks and Buckingham signaled a thawing in their topsy-turvy relationship, jointly posting on social media about their 1973 album being remastered. Will they reunite on stage? One can only hope.
The audience Sunday skewed younger than you might have expected. Mothers brought their daughters — yards of capes and lace bridging the generations. The blend of ages decked in shawls, fishnet and bolo hats underscored Nicks’ timeless appeal.
The last time Nicks was on Channelside Drive six years ago, she appeared with Fleetwood Mac, sans Buckingham, who had been kicked out. The band performed Tom Petty’s “Free Fallin’” with former Heartbreakers lead guitarist Mike Campbell newly minted as a member of Fleetwood Mac. She reprised the song Sunday and also played “Stop Draggin’ My Heart Around” with her longtime collaborator Waddy Wachtel singing Petty’s part. When in Florida, you must bow down to Petty.
These are not grueling sets for Nicks. She plays the same 15 songs every three to five days. It’s a parade of hits — though “Leather and Lace,” “Sara” and “Silver Springs” were absent.
In their place, Nicks shared more personal anecdotes between songs — about music, relationships and life. I saw her in 1989 at the height of her powers, and she wasn’t nearly as engaged. As her career approaches an inevitable endpoint, she’s grown more reflective and introspective on stage. And it delighted the crowd.
She told one story that spanned more than four minutes about her first recording with Petty.
And she was the only one who didn’t seem to mind Sunday’s drenching.
“I made a fantastic video like about six minutes of the rain on my hotel window because it was so beautiful,” she told everyone. “I’m going to put it on loop, and I’m going to put it on when I’m going to sleep, and I’m going to sleep to that rain.”
Nicks has always projected a mystical aura — as someone who might actually twirl backstage around a boiling cauldron, tossing in crystals and eyes of newt. But in relaying her personal stories, she felt real and relatable.
Her set gained momentum in the home stretch, with “Stand Back,” “Gold Dust Woman,” “Gypsy” and “Edge of Seventeen” before concluding with impeccable encores, “Rhiannon” and “Landslide,” her anthem made all the more poignant as images of the late Christine McVie projected on the big screens. The entire arena sang along.
With the exception of “The Lighthouse,” recorded last year, every song was penned a lifetime ago. Nicks doesn’t need a lot of new music to stay relevant. Not when you’ve got that spellbinding voice.
And she’s still got it. I have the goosebumps to prove it.
