In the U.K., yes. Peter Green Era Fleetwood Mac never broke the top 100 album chart in the US. This is why so many American fans (especially the younger ones) tend to dismiss Fleetwood Mac before 1975 as simply a ramp up for Buckingham & Nicks. Albatross may have been a massive hit in Europe, but I guarantee you if you polled the American fans following their Say You Will concerts where Albatross was played while fans exited, 99% would have NO IDEA that was a Fleetwood Mac song.
