Fleetwood Mac on the UK and US charts
 
I'm always tracking Fleetwood Mac's chart runs on the UK and US charts, so I thought I would do a weekly post showing what's happening on the charts and if there's been any new certifications anywhere.

Starting from last Sunday, Fleetwood Mac's 'Rumours' disappears from the top 100 after sitting at the #95 position the week previously. This is a rare week where there is no Fleetwood Mac album within the top 100. The album is currently at #34 on the catalogue albums chart, it's lowest placing for quite some time.

However, there is good news in the UK as 'Everywhere' was certified Silver last week for digital sales of over 200,000. This comes only 9 months after 'Go Your Own Way' was certified Silver. I have no doubt that 'The Chain' and 'Dreams' will be certified soon, probably in that order.

Ending with the Billboard charts published today, 'Rumours' is up from #139 on the Billboard 200 to #99. This is the first time in quite a while that the album is within the top 100. The album also moves up to #18 on the catalogue album charts from #27 the week previous.

If I know any more chart positions or sales then I will include them in this post. I will do the same post next week for the UK charts on Sunday and the Billboard charts on Thursday. Nobody seems to do a thread on FM on the weekly charts so I thought I would do it as it's something that interests me and will hopefully be interesting to some of you fellow fans. ;)

Thanks James, I like looking at charts:thumbsup:

Rumours is always dipping in and out of the UK top 100 album chart.

In fact it holds the record for most weeks on the chart (although the guy who complied this list has used top 75 rather than top 100 in his count).

Most Weeks On UK Album Chart

1. FLEETWOOD MAC - RUMOURS - 522 WEEKS
2. QUEEN'S GREATEST HITS – 499 WEEKS
3. MEATLOAF - BAT OUT OF HELL - 485 WEEKS
4. ABBA - GOLD - 469 WEEKS
+5. BOB MARLEY & WAILERS - LEGEND - 444 WEEKS (#54)
6. PINK FLOYD - THE DARK SIDE OF THE MOON 382 WEEKS
7. THE SOUND OF MUSIC - ORIGINAL SOUNDTRACK - 381 WEEKS
8. SOUTH PACIFIC - ORIGINAL SOUNDTRACK - 313 WEEKS
9. SIMON & GARFUNKEL - BRIDGE OVER TROUBLED WATER - 310 WEEKS
10. SIMON & GARFUNKEL - GREATEST HITS - 303 WEEKS



It's the gift that keeps on giving isn't it?;)

James89 07-15-2014 06:51 PM

I'm pretty sure that 'Rumours' is close to being certified 12xPlatinum because it was in the top 100 only 2 weeks ago and sold over 170,000 copies last year alone. It was last certified in 2011.

James89 07-17-2014 02:44 PM

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

Starting from Sunday, 'Rumours' remains absent from the top 100 but moves up considerably on the catalogue albums chart, moving up to #20 from #34 last week.

On to the Billboard charts published today, 'Rumours' remains popular moving down on the Billboard 200 from #99 last week to #135 this week. The album also moves down slightly on the catalogue albums chart from #18 to #23.

Not a lot of activity this week but I'll post again next week. ;)

On to the Billboard charts published today, 'Rumours' remains popular moving down slightly on the Billboard 200 from #135 last week to #143 this week. The album also moves down slightly on the catalogue albums chart from #23 to #25.

I also found some interesting sales info from a forum that was updated this week. This is what I found:

• 'Rumours' has sold 340,000 copies in the US since May 2012 and is the fourth
biggest selling catalogue album since then.

• 'Greatest Hits' has sold over 193,000 copies in the US since May 2012 and is
the eleventh biggest selling catalogue album since then.

• 'Fleetwood Mac' has officially sold over a million copies in the US since 1991.

These figures were effective from about May this year as the forum I got the information from has only just updated it from sales figures that were recorded at that time. These titles have sold quite a bit more since then, especially 'Rumours' and 'Greatest Hits' which have since featured on the Billboard 200 quite frequently.

I will post next weeks chart info and will be including any information regarding titles from Stevie Nicks in the future as her new album will be out in a couple of months and that will surely garner interest in her other albums, so if there is any activity regarding Stevie, I will post that too. Thanks guys!!! ;)

They need to recertify!

James89 07-31-2014 06:40 AM

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

Starting from Sunday, 'Rumours' remains absent from the top 100 but moves up on the catalogue albums chart, moving up to #15 from #23 last week. The album will likely move up further next week and will possibly re-enter the top 100 as it is currently on sale on iTunes for just £4.99. The album has reached as high as #40 this week on the iTunes album chart so we shall see if it makes any impact on Sunday.

On to the Billboard charts published today, 'Rumours' remains quite popular as the album is still benefiting from an Amazon promotion. The album has moved down on the Billboard 200 from #143 last week to #165 this week. This is the albums 181st week on the Billboard 200. The album also moves down slightly on the catalogue albums chart from #25 to #28.

Also this week, a re-entry on the UK catalogue singles chart with 'Everywhere' re-entering at #36 mainly due to the fact that an album version of the song was on sale on iTunes for just 59p. This promotion has now ended so the song will most likely disappear from the chart next week.

A bit more activity this week and I will post again next week where 'Rumours' will hopefully make an appearance on the UK top 100 albums chart. We shall wait with bated breath! :laugh: Thanks guys!!! ;)

Meanwhile, Christine McVie is thinking "KACHING!!"

James89 08-08-2014 02:05 PM

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

Starting from Sunday, 'Rumours' re-enters the UK top 100 albums chart at #79 with sales of approximately 1,400 thanks to a promotion on iTunes where the album is £4.99. The album remains on sale this week so will likely stay within the top 100 this coming Sunday. The album rockets up to #6 on the catalogue albums chart from #15 last week.

On to the Billboard charts published yesterday, 'Rumours' remains within the Billboard 200 moving down to #178 from #165 last week. The mp3 album is still on sale on Amazon for just $3.99. The album moves down on the catalogue chart to #40 from #28 last week.

There is a Stevie Nicks iTunes chart thread which contains chart info on her new single and the album pre-order. It shows the iTunes chart peaks this week for both the single and the album pre-order.

Not a huge amount of activity this week regarding Fleetwood Mac but more activity regarding Stevie and her new album. Will post again next week. :)

James89 08-15-2014 11:07 AM

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

Good and bad news this week regarding 'Rumours'. The good news. Starting from Sunday, 'Rumours' climbs a further 20 places on the main album chart thanks to the iTunes promotion which lasted for two weeks. The album is now at #59 up from #79 last week with sales of approximately 1,600. This is the albums highest chart position for quite a while on the UK top 100. As the iTunes promotion has now ended, the album could well drop off the top 100 altogether by Sunday. The catalogue charts update every Sunday but correspond with the previous chart week for some strange reason :shrug:. For example, 'Rumours' is still at #6 even though that corresponds to when the album was at #79 last week. The album remains at #6 on the catalogue album charts.

On to the Billboard charts published yesterday and the bad news, 'Rumours' falls off the Billboard 200 entirely and disappears from the top 50 catalogue chart where it was at #40 last week. The mp3 album is no longer on sale on Amazon for $3.99 which is the main reason for why sales have suffered in the last week.

A bit more activity this week regarding 'Rumours' in the UK, just a shame about the US. Will be sure to post again next week! ;)

jcalzaretta 08-15-2014 12:06 PM

I think they need to re-certify Rumours, the White Album, GH and the VBoFM. All have recertifications to publish. They should prior to releasing new record. I think that would help sales.

You're absolutely right. Those all need re-certifying. It's really starting to annoy me now, it's the same story with Stevie's albums. :nod:

James89 08-23-2014 04:58 PM

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

Starting from Sunday, 'Rumours' surprisingly clings on to the main album chart but drops 31 places to #90 from #59 last week due to the iTunes promotion which ended last week. The album sold approximately 1,000 copies in that week.

On to the Billboard charts published Thursday and the bad news, 'Rumours' remains absent from the Billboard 200 and catalogue charts. It looks like it won't return until there is some kind of promotion.

Very little activity this week but will post again next week. ;)

James89 08-28-2014 11:49 AM

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

Starting from Sunday, 'Rumours' drops off the main album chart unsurprisingly and is at #128, 38 places down from its #90 position last week. The album sold approximately 800 copies in that week. The album is at #19 on the catalogue albums chart.

On to the Billboard charts published today and 'Rumours' remains absent from the Billboard 200 and catalogue charts. As I have said before, a promotion of some kind is needed to bring it back on the charts.

Very little activity this week but will post again next week. There is currently an iTunes promotion in the UK which has many Fleetwood Mac and Stevie Nicks albums included in its sale. 'The Very Best of Fleetwood Mac' might make an appearance this coming Sunday as it is currently within the top 70 of the main album chart and is climbing further as the week progresses. Hopefully we'll see that on Sunday. :)

James89 09-05-2014 01:34 PM

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

I won't be doing a break down of the charts because there is such little to report on the past week. All I will say for the past week is that 'The Very best of Fleetwood Mac' didn't re-enter the UK top 100 (it might well do on Sunday as it's currently in the iTunes top 40) and Rumours has dipped slightly on the catalogue charts to #29.
On the US charts there is still nothing happening and no catalogue chart entry for Rumours.

I'll do the same next week unless there is more activity. Thanks guys. ;)

jcalzaretta 09-05-2014 04:18 PM

In the US - Rumours will hit the charts again once the tour starts. This is a temporary blip!

James89 09-11-2014 02:16 PM

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

Great news for the UK! Thanks to a Friday night showing of the 2009 'Don't Stop' documentary, two albums return to the top 100. First of all, 'The Very best of' surges to #47 from #118 last week on sales of approximately 1,400. The albums sales consists mainly of digital sales where the album sits at #30 on the digital albums chart, a massive jump from #83 last week. The album did reach as high as #17 on the iTunes album chart on the weekend and is still currently within the top 30 as it's still on sale for only £4.99.

'Rumours' also jumps considerably to #67 from #136 last week on sales of approximately 1,100. The album also moves up on the catalogue albums chart to #17 from #29 last week. The album did reach as high as #35 on the iTunes album chart on the weekend.

There is still no activity in the US but in a few weeks with the start of the tour and the promotion that will most likely happen, I'm sure we'll see something on the charts.

A lot more activity this week which is nice as last week was pretty dire! I will post next week. ;)

James89 09-21-2014 03:22 PM

Sorry for the late post, I've been really busy this weekend. Here are this weeks chart updates for the UK and US. There are no new certifications this week.

On the UK charts for last Sunday, 'The Very best of' and 'Rumours' both slip only one place dropping from #47 to #48 and from #67 to #68 respectively. 'The Very best of' also jumps one place on the digital albums chart to #29 from #30 the previous week. 'The Very best of' sold approximately 1,600 copies in that week.

Though 'Rumours' drops a place on the main albums chart, it rockets up to #7 on the catalogue albums chart from #17 last week. The album sold approximately 1,300 copies in that week.

There is again nothing to report this week over on the US charts but in the next week or so with Stevie's 'The Voice' appearance and also any buzz to do with the Fleetwood Mac tour, I'm sure we'll see a few titles appearing on the catalogue charts and even the main charts.

Very little change since last week but I'll post again next week when hopefully we'll see something happening in the US. :)

James89 09-28-2014 11:49 AM

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

On the UK charts for last Sunday, 'The Very best of' is the only Fleetwood Mac title remaining on the main top 100 and it takes a battering, falling from #48 the previous week to #95 on sales of approximately 900 copies.

'Rumours' completely falls off of the top 100 from #68 the previous week but remains on the catalogue albums chart at #18, falling from its #7 position the previous week.

Still no activity in the US but with the tour kicking off in only a couple of days, we should see a few titles re-appearing on the catalogue charts or even the main albums chart.

I'll post again next week where 'Rumours' will make a triumphant return on the UK charts as it is only 99p on Amazon mp3. Exciting news!!! :)

James89 10-02-2014 01:10 PM

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

Amazing news for the UK! 'Rumours' has received a lot of attention due to Amazon having the mp3 version on a drastic sale for just 99p. This offer no longer exists. The album therefore rocketed to #1 on the Amazon mp3 albums chart and sold enough copies to reach #11 on the main UK top 100 albums chart with sales of 8,718, a whopping increase from the week previously when the album was at #104. 'Rumours' also manages to reach #1 on the catalogue albums chart, it was at #18 the previous week. The album hasn't reached as high as #11 since February 2013.

Unfortunately, 'The Very best of' doesn't make an appearance on the top 100 this week, it was at #95 the previous week. This is likely due to the fact that in the previous week, iTunes had the album on sale for £4.99 and that sale ended just before last week resulting in a drop in sales.

Over in the US, 'Greatest Hits' has reached as high as #26 on the iTunes albums chart earlier this week but there is nothing yet on the Billboard charts published today. Expect to see 'Greatest Hits' back on the Billboard 200 next week and maybe even 'Rumours' back on the catalogue charts.

A lot more activity this week. Expect to see more happening on the US charts next week. :)

James89 10-12-2014 08:04 AM

Sorry for the late post again guys. I've been tracking Stevie's album all week and forgot a little bit about FM! Anyway, here are this weeks chart updates for the UK and US. There are no new certifications this week.

In the UK last Sunday, 'Rumours' falls 42 places to #53, which is to be expected after the Amazon promotion ended at the end of the previous week. The album also drops to #5 on the catalogue albums chart where it topped the chart the previous week. 'Rumours' sold approximately 2,000 copies in the week.

At long last there is news from the US! 'Rumours', 'The Very best of' and 'Greatest Hits' all re-enter the Billboard 200 at #164, #175 and #177 respectively. The albums also re-enter the catalogue albums chart. 'Rumours' at #30, 'The Very best of' at #34 and 'Greatest Hits' at #36. Unfortunately I can't find any sales figures.
The albums will likely rise further on the charts next week due to the bands appearance on the 'Today Show' earlier this week.

Nice to see some US chart activity this week and there'll hopefully be even more next week. :)

jcalzaretta 10-12-2014 09:30 AM

And if anyone knows sales information for those records since their last certification. Rumours last certified in 2003. It is my understanding, it's sold 3M plus since then. Seriously - why not re-certified? And I saw something that GH has sold more than that. But does anyone know? Particularly for the following:

White Album
Rumours
GH
VBOFM

Unfortunately there are only sales figures for the albums since 1991. All I know is that the albums you have mentioned all need re-certifying.

James89 10-19-2014 01:36 PM

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

Not a lot happening in the UK with 'The Very best of' re-entering at #95 with sales of approximately 900 copies. 'Rumours' remains on the catalogue charts moving down to #14 from #5 last week.

Again, a lot more happening in the US where Fleetwood Mac have three titles within the Billboard 200, four if you count Stevie's album which debuts at #7 but we won't go into that! :lol:

'Rumours', 'Greatest Hits', and 'The Very best of' all move up on the chart to #83, #121 and #148 respectively. They all move up from their positions of #164, #177 and #175 last week. Again, I have no sales information.

Over on the catalogue charts, 'Rumours' rockets up from #30 last week to #4, 'Greatest Hits' also moves up from #36 to #12, and 'The Very best of' also moves up from #34 to #22.
There is also a very rare appearance for 'Fleetwood Mac' which re-enters but only just at #50. This is only the albums 6th week within the top 50 of the catalogue charts.

A lot of great stuff happening in the US this week and I will say a big congrats to Stevie who has bagged her sixth top 20 UK album and her sixth top 10 US album. Great news! :)

Speaking of certifications, Crystal Visions should be certified Gold and is not yet.

James89 10-26-2014 02:09 PM

Here are this weeks chart updates for the UK and US. For once there is a new certification with 'Rumours' being certified 20xPlatinum in the US. Fantastic news! :]

In the UK, 'The Very best of' climbs 5 places to #90 on the main albums chart with sales of approximately 900 copies. 'Rumours' remains on the catalogue charts where it hasn't left for quite some years. It remains at #14 again this week.

Over in the US, 'Rumours', 'The Very best of' and 'Greatest Hits' remain on the Billboard 200 for a third consecutive week. They move down this week to #97, #157 and #163 respectively selling 3,617, 2,502 and 2,461 copies respectively. These figures are from SoundScan. This is the first time in quite a while that 'Rumours' has spent two consecutive weeks within the top 100.

On the catalogue charts, 'Rumours', 'The Very best of' and 'Greatest Hits' move down slightly to #7, #24 and #26 respectively.

Fleetwood Mac remain to sell well in the US probably due to the buzz from the tour. I'll post again next week where I suspect there won't be much change on the charts. :)

James89 10-30-2014 02:03 PM

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' climbs 6 places on the main albums chart to #84 on sales of approximately 1,100. 'Rumours' re-enters the top 100 at #96, climbing 25 places from the #121 position it held the previous week. The album also sits one place above Stevie's new album and sold approximately 900 copies in the week. The catalogue position for 'Rumours' is currently unavailable as the chart is only showing positions which are for the previous week.

Over in the US, Fleetwood Mac have three titles on the Billboard 200 for a fourth consecutive week. This is quite a rare occurrence to have so many titles stick around.

This week it is 'Greatest Hits' which leads the pack on the Billboard 200 leaping 69 positions to #94 on sales of 3,842. This is the first time in approximately a year that GH has been within the top 100. It also leaps to #6 on the catalogue chart where it was at #26 the previous week. The hike in sales is due to an iTunes promotion which saw the album reach as high as #34 on the iTunes albums chart last week.

'Rumours' is second, falling 59 places to #156 this week on sales of 2,459. The album also drops on the catalogue chart from #7 to #21.

'The Very best of' is the final FM title to grace the Billboard 200 and it moves down slightly this week to #171 from #157 last week on sales of 2,309. It does however remain at #24 on the catalogue chart.

Still a large amount of activity in the US and it looks as though things are looking up in the UK too with two titles being within the top 100. US sales figures sourced from SoundScan which I found on a forum.

I'll post again next week! ;)

James89 11-09-2014 04:18 PM

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' climbs slightly further to #77 from #84 last week with sales of approximately 1,200 copies. 'Rumours' remains on the catalogue albums chart moving up one place to #13 from #14 last week.

Things have died down in the US with only Fleetwood Mac's 'Greatest Hits' remaining on the Billboard 200. This week it falls a whopping 92 places landing at #186 with sales of 2,390 copies.

'Greatest Hits' is also the only album that remains on the catalogue albums chart, moving down 29 places to #35 this week.

Things seem to have died down in the US where a few titles were still selling well last week. Interest seems to be swapping from the US to the UK as Mick has been doing a lot of radio interviews and made a morning TV appearance this week for his book.

Since the newest UK charts were published today, I can tell you that things are looking up, but there isn't a drastic improvement. Expect a lot more next Sunday as 'Rumours' has been high on the iTunes chart later this week as it is on sale at £4.99 and has been as high as #45.

Expect more next week. :)

James89 11-13-2014 12:39 PM

Here are this weeks chart updates for the UK and US. There is a new certification this week with The Chain being certified Silver in the UK. That brings Fleetwood Mac's total certified single sales to 1.1 million. Great news!

It's pretty dire this week with Billboard having published the charts today and there is no FM title anywhere, not even on the catalogue charts where they seemed to have a permanent residence.

Things are looking up though in the UK with FM having two titles within the top 100 and the top 75 for that matter.

Starting with the biggest seller in the week, Rumours has risen from #104 last week to #70 this week on sales of approximately 1,500 copies. It also rises from #13 to #10 on the catalogue albums chart. This increase in sales is primarily due to iTunes having the album on sale for just £4.99. This promotion is still on and the album will surely rise from this position on Sunday's chart.

The Very best of also rises very slightly to #74 from #77 last week. This is the albums 123rd week within the UK top 100 and it's spent a whopping 368 weeks within the top 200. The album sold approximately 1,400 copies in the week.

Still a good amount of interest in the UK and unfortunately the US seems to have lost interest. Rumours will likely rise again on Sunday and I will be sure to post next week! ;)

James89 11-20-2014 05:08 PM

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

Only a slight improvement in the UK on Sunday with Rumours moving up only very slightly to #68 from #70 last week on sales of approximately 1,900 copies. It also moves up on the catalogue chart to #8 from #10 last week.

The Very best of moves down slightly from #74 to #76 this week on sales of approximately 1,600 copies.

Over in the US, things are looking up! Greatest Hits re-enters the Billboard 200 at #142 on sales of 2,955 copies. Rumours also re-enters at #176 on sales of 2,854 copies. Both albums re-enter the catalogue chart at #35 and #49 respectively. Not sure why this has happened but it's good news.

Things are looking better this week, especially in the US. I'll post again next week. :)

James89 11-29-2014 04:49 PM

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.
