Without even looking at the list I figure that Landslide would be on top.

I'm shocked that "Don't Stop" is not on top of the list.

Any I'm surprised that Everywhere and Little Lies registered high on the list.

Nothing from SYW made the top 10.

Albatross higher than Landslide? I guess that it's a UK list skews things a bit, but that still surprises me quite a bit.

That doesn't surprise me at all. It makes sense: Albatross was a big hit in the UK. Landslide was just a deep album track.

yup. Albatross was huge all over Europe. i'm not sure i've ever heard Landslide before moving to the States and hearing Dixie Chicks version.

So it is probably just a UK list, but anyway I find weird to find Albatross and not other 70s and 80s hits (YMLF, Rhiannon, Sara, Gypsy...). Albatross is too old and when Fleetwood Mac was known as a blues band. And I always found rock/pop far more popular then blues, in terms of fans. But maybe I don't know enough about the european culture. And probably Albatross is still a top download for nostalgic fans.

According to Wikipedia, the Albatross chart positions were:
No. 1 (UK)
No. 2 (Netherlands)
No. 2 (Norway)
No. 4 (Sweden)
No. 4 (Switzerland)
No. 5 (Ireland)
No. 11 (Australia)[1]
No. 45 (Canada)
No. 104 (United States)

Even for the US, I'm not surprised about Little Lies. There was a time when it seems all you heard was that song. And I love it, but I didn't want it to define FM the way it seemed to be doing for many years.
