Fleetwood Mac continues to do what few others can: remain a chart force with music that’s been out for decades. This week, the band manages to do so with a set that’s been available half a century, almost to the month. The beloved group’s classic Fleetwood Mac album (sometimes called the White Album, as it’s the rockers’ second self-titled effort) mounts an impressive comeback, reaching new highs, returning to several charts, and even debuting on another tally.
Fleetwood Mac Appears on Five Billboard Charts
Released in 1975, the second Fleetwood Mac reappears on a slew of Billboard charts in America. The legendary collection reenters four tallies and debuts on one more, bringing its total number of current appearances to five. That kind of showing would be impressive for any project, but for a title nearing its fiftieth anniversary, it’s almost unbelievable.
Fleetwood Mac’s Album Hits New Peaks on Several Lists
This frame, Fleetwood Mac reaches brand new highs on three different charts. The set reenters the Top Album Sales and Top Rock Albums lists at No. 17 on both. Meanwhile, it also cracks the top 20 for the first time on the Top Rock & Alternative Albums roster, appearing at No. 20 — a milestone it hadn’t reached before.
Fleetwood Mac’s Classic Debuts on the Vinyl Chart
In addition to its impressive returns, Fleetwood Mac also breaks onto a Billboard ranking it’s never been seen on before. The collection debuts on the Vinyl Albums chart, narrowly missing the top 10 as it enters at No. 12. The new arrival gives the group its eighth appearance on the roster dedicated solely to the bestselling vinyl releases in the U.S.
Fleetwood Mac Returns to the Billboard 200
Fleetwood Mac also reappears on the Billboard 200 this week, the ranking that tracks the most consumed albums across the country using a blend of metrics. The title is far from new to the all-genre tally. It lands at No. 94 on the list during this frame, its one-hundred-and-sixty-ninth on the Billboard 200. At one point, it even climbed all the way to No. 1.
A Huge Record Store Day Sales Surge
In the latest tracking period, Fleetwood Mac moved 12,500 equivalent units in the U.S., with 7,000 of those being pure sales. That sales figure represents an almost 2,000% increase from just a few days prior, as interest in the collection skyrocketed.
The surge is attached to Record Store Day, as a special picture disc vinyl of the album was released to celebrate its upcoming fiftieth anniversary. Only about 6,500 copies of the new edition were pressed, yet somehow the title managed to sell more than that figure, as other versions were also available to purchase.
