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.

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)
