Fleetwood Mac has released multiple greatest hits compilations throughout the decades under different names, and each one varies from the last in at least a few minor ways. Many of those projects have become great commercial wins in countries like the United Kingdom and the United States, where the Grammy-winning act is still celebrated as one of the best of all time.
Several Fleetwood Mac albums play sort of like hits compilations, as they feature so many beloved songs. The group’s Rumours is certainly counted among that bunch, as is the pop-rock act’s self-titled effort, which is a hit once again in the UK — even as multiple compilations featuring some of its most popular singles perform well at the same time.
Fleetwood Mac – the Album – Breaks Onto Multiple Lists
Fleetwood Mac’s self-titled full-length appears on two charts in the UK at the moment, and it returns to both of them. The set reenters the Official Physical Albums roster at No. 21, and it finds its way to the Official Album Sales list at No. 24.
Fleetwood Mac Almost Returns to its Peak
Fleetwood Mac comes very close to matching its all-time high on both of those sales tallies. In the past, this version of the project has only spent about a month on the rankings, and it has previously topped out at No. 20.
Two Self-Titled Albums by Fleetwood Mac
Fleetwood Mac released two self-titled albums, separated by less than a decade from one another. The latter of the two, which dropped in 1975, is the more successful of the bunch, as by that point the group had become hugely successful. That project produced singles like “Warm Ways,” “Rhiannon,” and “Say You Love Me,” and the fan-favorite album cut “Landslide.”
Rumours, 50 Years – Don’t Stop and Greatest Hits
Fleetwood Mac is one of four full-lengths by the band that appear on the charts in the U.K. at the moment. Rumours is the top performer, as it lives on half a dozen rankings, while 50 Years – Don’t Stop settles on two and still makes space inside the top 10 on both of them. Another compilation, the simply-named Greatest Hits, can also be found on the Official Album Downloads ranking, where it lifts a pair of spaces to No. 62.
“Dreams,” “Everywhere,” “The Chain” and “Go Your Own Way”
Just as many songs by the band also find space on at least one U.K.-based chart. That roundup includes “Dreams,” “Everywhere,” “The Chain,” and “Go Your Own Way,” which finds its way back to the Official Streaming list in one of the lowest spaces. Interestingly, none of Fleetwood Mac’s hits at the moment appear on its self-titled album, so it’s not a surging tune that helps the studio effort reappear, but rather just its continued popularity throughout the decades.
