140 million
Ive often wondered how it was calculated that Fleetwood Mac has sold over 140 million albums. Here is a link that seems to answer that question.
https://chartmasters.org/2017/10/bes...f-all-time/18/ FM is #25 on the list at 148 million plus. If you click on Fleetwood Mac the link takes you to a 32 page rundown of sales, streams,downloads, etc for all of their albums. Pretty exhaustive analysis with interesting conclusions if youre into statistics. |

Wow...this is a really interesting site. Thanks for this.
Interesting- in the comments section on the Fleetwood Mac pages there's discussion about how Fleetwood Mac aren't as well known around the world as The Police or ABBA. I hadn't considered that, but now that makes total sense. Some really interesting sales figure for the older albums.

100% True. Fleetwood Mac wasn't so popular in Peru, and I would say all South America. Maybe my generation people know FM (at least those who listen rock/pop music). But ABBA, Police, Queen and Rolling Stones are far more popular, even within my generation. And of course also in older or younger people.

I love how much early stuff outsold SYW. That album still bugs me.

Incredibly detailed 32 pages of work that brings into focus sales data for albums and singles and goes deep into streaming and download data using sophisticated analytics. This data only runs through mid 2016, so 4.5 years later has surely added to the numbers.

re sales comparisons between early stuff and after-2000 stuff - SYW came after napster. a completely different era of music sales. those numbers cannot be compared as apples to apples to numbers before napster.
