WHY NOT THINK ABOUT
TIMES TO COME
AND NOT ABOUT
THE THINGS THAT YOU'VE DONE
Rumours
is the eleventh
studio album
by the
British-American
rock band
released on
February,4th 1977,
by Warner Bros. Records.
Largely recorded
in California
in 1976,
it was produced by
the band with
Ken Caillat
and
Richard Dashut.
The recording sessions
took place as
the band members
dealt with breakups
and struggled
with heavy
drug usage,
both of which
shaped the album's
direction and lyrics.
Recorded with the
intention of making
"a pop album"
that would expand
on the
commercial success
of the
1975 album
Fleetwood Mac,
Rumours
contains a
mix of
electric
and
acoustic instrumentation,
accented rhythms,
guitars,
and
keyboards.
Its lyrics concern
personal and
often
troubled relationships.
Its release was
postponed by
delays in the
mixing process.
The band promoted
the album with a
worldwide concert tour.
became the band's
first number-one album
on the
UK Albums Chart
and also topped
the US Billboard 200.
It received
multi-platinum
certifications
in Australia,
Canada,
Denmark,
New Zealand,
the UK,
and the
US.
As of February 2023,
Rumours
had sold over
40 million copies
worldwide,
making it one
of the best
selling albums
of all time.
All of its four singles
"Go Your Own Way",
"Dreams",
"Don't Stop",
and
"You Make Loving Fun"
reached the
top 10
on the
US Billboard
Hot 100,
with
"Dreams"
reaching
number one.
In 2004,
Rumours
was remastered
and reissued,
with the addition
of the track
"Silver Springs "
and outtakes
from the
recording sessions.
With Rumours,
Fleetwood Mac
produced one
of the most
celebrated albums
(and one of the best-selling albums)
of all time.
While
Fleetwood Mac
had finally attained
their long-desired
commercial success,
the band was
fraying apart
behind the scenes.
The McVies
divorced in 1976,
and the
Buckingham
and Nicks'
romance ended
shortly afterward.
The internal tensions
formed the basis
for the songs
on their best album,
Rumours.
Released in the spring
of 1977,
Rumours
became a
blockbuster success,
topping the American
and
British charts
and generating
the Top Ten singles
"Go Your Own Way,"
"Dreams,"
"Don't Stop,"
and
"You Make Loving Fun."
It would eventually
sell over
17 million copies
in the U.S. alone,
making it the
second
biggest-selling album
of all time.
Rumours
reads like a
greatest hits package
rather than an
incredible record.
This album is
a must have release
in every sense of the word.
