Fleetwood Mac’s Rumours climbs to a new peak of No. 27 on Billboard’s Top Streaming Albums chart, a … More
Rumours by Fleetwood Mac is not the average blockbuster album. It has ranked as one of the bestselling full-lengths of all time for decades, and it appeals to such a wide audience that the set has found a firm grounding on streaming platforms as well. That kind of success is extremely rare for any traditional LP from the 1970s, and even uncommon for greatest hits compilations.
What’s even more amazing is that as time passes, Rumours only seems to grow in popularity on platforms like Spotify, Apple Music, and others.
Fleetwood Mac’s Rumours Climbs
Rumours climbs on the Top Streaming Albums chart this week in the United States, as Fleetwood Mac’s 1977 project jumps from No. 31 to No. 27. That marks a new high point not just for the full-length, but for the band overall, as the pop-rockers have only ever sent one title to Billboard’s ranking of the most-streamed projects in the country.
Just last week, Rumours dipped slightly, falling from No. 30 to No. 31. The previous frame, it had risen to a new peak of No. 30. Now, just days later, it has soared even higher.
Fleetwood Mac’s Rumours Lives on Multiple Billboard Lists
Rumours can currently be found on half a dozen Billboard rankings in the U.S., and it climbs on two of them, including the Top Streaming Albums list. The fan favorite also lifts one spot on the Billboard 200, landing at No. 24. At the same time, it declines on both the Top Album Sales and Vinyl Albums charts, while holding steady on the Top Rock & Alternative Albums and Top Rock Albums rosters.
Fleetwood Mac’s Rumours Stands Alone
Interestingly, Rumours is the one Fleetwood Mac title to reach the Top Streaming Albums chart, even though the group has released a number of popular compilations gathering the band’s biggest hits. This week, the outfit’s Greatest Hits is a non-mover on a trio of album tallies, but it doesn’t manage to break into the Top Streaming Albums roster. Apparently, that spot is reserved, perhaps indefinitely, for Rumours.
