FleetwoodFormed in 1967, Fleetwood Mac is a rock band consisting of both British and American members, led by drummer Mick Fleetwood. They had several initial hits off their early albums, including “Albatross” , “Oh Well”, and “Man of the World”. By 1974, a few key members had left the band but were joined by new members Lindsey Buckingham (guitar) and Stevie Nicks (vocals), leading them to a more pop-rock sound and international success. They released the album Fleetwood Mac in 1975 and it reached #1 in the US.
The 1977 release Rumours would become their most successful album and one of the best-selling in history, with over 40 million units sold. The album contains four #1 hits: “Dreams”, “Don’t Stop”, “Go Your Own Way” and “You Make Loving Fun”. The rest of the album would get significant airplay and earn them a Grammy for Album of the Year. Rumours is 8th on the best-selling albums worldwide. Their follow-up album was Tusk, a double record with three top 20 hits: “Tusk”, “Sara” and “Think About Me”.
By the late 1980’s, the band started to crumble with a rotating lineup of band members. In 1997, they released The Dance, a live greatest hits compilation, which became their fourth #1 album. They’ve sold over 120 million records, have a Hollywood Walk of Fame star, were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, and have been nominated for and won several Grammys, AMA and Brit Awards.
