Fleetwood Mac’s Rumours spends its five-hundredth week on the Official Albums Sales chart, outpacing ... More all other full-lengths from the band combined. NEW YORK, UNITED STATES: Members of the British rock group Fleetwood Mac (from left) John McVie, Stevie Nicks, Christine McVie, Mick Fleetwood and Lindsay Buckingham appear together after receiving their awards and being inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame 12 January in New York. The thirteenth annual Rock and Roll Hall of Fame induction dinner also honored Santana, The Eagles, The Mamas and Papas, Lloyd Price and Gene Vincent.

The British-American outfit’s catalog remains one of the bestselling of all time, and the group claims one of the top-performing traditional studio albums ever with the hits-packed title. Rumours has already sold tens of millions of copies throughout the years, and is still selling to this day, decades after it was first released. This week is a notable one for the critical and commercial favorite, as it helps Fleetwood Mac reach a milestone for the very first time on a highly-competitive list. Fleetwood Mac’s Rumours Hits a Major Milestone Among the top 40 bestselling releases in the United Kingdom this frame, Rumours drops from No. 22 to No. 39 on the Official Albums Sales chart. That tally ranks the top-selling full-lengths and EPs, blending both digital and physical purchases. The fact that it’s still present inside the top 40 is notable, but that’s not why Fleetwood Mac and the band’s fans must be excited about Rumours this time around. As of this frame, Rumours has spent 500 weeks on the Official Albums Sales chart. It’s the first title by the group to reach that milestone on the all-encompassing purchase-only tally. The band’s compilation The Very Best Of ranks as its second-longest-charting effort, with 148 turns on the tally. The simply-titled Greatest Hits comes next, with 108 frames. Rumours Outpaces All of Fleetwood Mac’s Bestsellers Combined Rumours is so successful, it outpaces all of Fleetwood Mac’s other bestselling projects combined. Looking at the 21 other collections the band has sent to the Official Albums Sales chart, the total number of weeks all of those efforts have accumulated is still 100 frames away from matching the impressive total that Rumours has managed. It should be noted, though, that for many years the main albums chart in the U.K. was compiled using sales alone. When streaming was factored into the list of the most-consumed full-lengths and EPs, a separate album sales chart had to be established, so these rankings and numbers are only as of that introduction. Rumours Appears on Three U.K. Charts Rumours appears on a trio of sales-only tallies in the U.K. this week. It drops on both the Official Vinyl Albums (No. 23) and Official Album Downloads charts (No. 68). The title has spent more than 400 weeks on the downloads-only ranking, and it will soon crack triple-digit frames on the vinyl list.
