Rumours fly for Fleetwood Mac
Updated: 12:10, Monday May 23, 2011
Legendary rockers Fleetwood Mac have made a shock return to the Australian music charts, with their highest-selling record Rumours re-emerging at number two on the albums chart, 34 years after its original release.
The surprise comeback follows the Australian premiere of a Fleetwood Mac-inspired episode of the musical drama Glee, which aired on Network Ten last Wednesday night.
The Grammy Award-winning album has sold more than 40 million albums worldwide since its release in 1977, and has been certified thirteen-times platinum in Australia.
It is the first time in more than a year the album has featured on the ARIA charts.
But the group's lead singer, Stevie Nicks, has not seen as much success with her solo album In Your Dreams, which hangs back at number 32, a week after its debut.
Either way, Fleetwood Mac's new-found popularity was not strong enough to push UK songstress Adele from the top spot.
