Fleetwood Mac on the UK and US charts

[James89]

Here are this weeks chart updates for the UK and US. There are no new certifications this week.

In the UK, The Very best of moves up 9 places to #67 on the main top 100 albums chart with sales of approximately 1,900 copies.

Rumours moves down 14 places to #82 with sales of approximately 1,700 copies. It does however move up a place on the catalogue chart to #7.

Over in the US, Greatest Hits seems to have received a massive sales boost from somewhere, rocketing up 50 places on the Billboard 200 into the top 100, landing at #92 this week. Unfortunately, I have no sales information. The album also moves up on the catalogue chart to #17 from #35 last week.

Unfortunately, Greatest Hits is the only album making an appearance on any Billboard chart as Rumours has disappeared altogether.

Still nice to see a couple of titles fairly high up on the charts. Hopefully they will gain even more sales over the Christmas period. I'll post again next week.

Queen's Greatest Hits Named UK's Best-Selling Album Of All Time

According to the Official Charts tally Queen's 1981 Greatest Hits album is far and away the best seller as well as the only one to have sold more than six million copies in the UK (6.1 million in fact), with four weeks at No. 1 and 158 weeks in the top 40. The band's second hits collection, Greatest Hits II made it into the top 10 as well at No. 10 with nearly four million sold.

Robbie Williams had the the most appearances by an individual in the top 60 with four, counting two solo releases and two albums with his former band, Take That, who also have a third entry thanks to their first album post-Robbie, Beautiful World. Coldplay also scored three entries in the top 60, with Michael Jackson, Queen, the Beatles, Adele, Dido, ABBA, Paul Simon and Fleetwood Mac all landing two each.

Very nice to see Tango!

Rumours moved up to #40 on the UK charts this week- it's 128th week in the top 40.
Very Best of Fleetwood Mac is at 54.
Pretty good going having two albums in the top 60 for no particular reason.

[bwboy]

2 possible reasons:

1) The Chain has been featured in ads for Guardians of the Galaxy 2.

2) Word of the new Buckingham McVie album being released.

[24karatstevie]

Rumours 40th anniversary probably also plays a part.

1) Not really big news on this side of the pond
2) Nah...a few weeks ago- perhaps

Doh...yeah- absolutely

[James89]

It's because of the 40th anniversary. A lot of radio production. Pretty obvious I thought.
