FM continuously played at Starbucks UK

[seteca]

I was just wondering if anyone knows why literally every Starbucks in London almost exclusively plays Fleetwood Mac/Fleetwood Mac-related songs??? It's been like this for about the last year or so, and it's just got more and more.

At first during an hour's stay or so, I would hear two or three Mac songs. Now AT LEAST 1 out of 3 songs are Fleetwood Mac, Lindsey, Stevie, or Christine. More often, every other song is FM and today it was non-stop FM: I heard every song from the White Album and Rumours (in no particular order) whilst sipping on a latte and eating a fudge brownie. In the past year, I've heard songs from all 3 of Lindsey's solo albums (even the less popular songs), Christine's '84 album, and many many Stevie solo songs. I've even heard Bob Welsh and Peter Green songs.

Seeing as this is now the case for EVERY Starbucks that I've been to in London (and I go at least twice a day to one of 40 or 50 branches), and that the songs change on a daily/weekly basis, I've come to the conclusion that someone very high up in the Starbucks corporate ladder is a MEGA fan of Fleetwood Mac. (There is no way in hell any of the execs would allow "the guy in charge of Starbucks music" to turn all of Starbucks London into a "Fleetwood Mac experience" - which is why whoever is responsible for this must be, pardon the pun, very high up in the chain.)

Well, whoever you are, if you are reading this, thank you! You've certainly achieved the aim of your job with this customer, and because of you I now can't have a conversation in Starbucks without pausing after a few minutes, smiling like a madman and saying to whoever i'm talking to "(insert FM song title)....!!!"
