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.

Fleetwood Mac's Rumours Ranked 10th In 2025 Album Sales in US

Fleetwood Mac’s Rumours Ranks Among 2025’s Biggest Selling Albums, Physical Sales Propel Iconic Record Into Top 10

December 30, 2025

Fleetwood Mac’s 1977 classic Rumours has emphatically proven that great music endures, securing its place as one of the biggest selling albums of 2025 in the United States. According to year‑end sales tallies, Rumours finished 24th overall in album units across all formats for the year, and impressively ranked 10th in physical sales, the top echelon of CDs and vinyl, with 221,514 units sold. When streaming figures are included, the album’s total equivalent sales for 2025 reached 1,064,163.

Released on 4 February 1977 by Warner Bros. Records, Rumours remains one of the most celebrated and best‑selling albums in music history. Originally recorded largely in California during 1976 under the production of Fleetwood Mac with Ken Caillat and Richard Dashut, the album was shaped amid personal turmoil, inter‑band breakups and heavy drug use. Those emotional undercurrents, combined with an intent to craft “a pop album”, helped the record achieve a unique fusion of electric and acoustic instrumentation, distinctive harmonies and deeply personal lyrics.

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.
