There are a number of legacy acts \u2014 those that either do not release new music at all, or which are largely known for older hits and albums that became popular decades ago \u2014 that regularly live on the Billboard charts. Most hold on thanks to one greatest hits compilation, or perhaps a single tune or another.<\/p>\n

Fleetwood Mac<\/a> is one of the rare groups that regularly places on multiple tallies with several albums. Rumours may forever be one of the band\u2019s top-performing sets, no matter how old it gets, but even that bestseller is not enough to satiate the masses.<\/p>\n

Fleetwood Mac\u2019s Greatest Hits can often be found on multiple rosters, as it is almost always a top performer, bestseller and one of the most-consumed rock titles in the United States. This frame, as Americans continue to listen to the many smashes featured on Greatest Hits \u2013 some of which can also be found on Rumours \u2013 the full-length reaches a relatively uncommon milestone on the most important albums chart, one which Fleetwood Mac has only seen once before.<\/p>\n

Fleetwood Mac\u2019s Greatest Hits Reaches 400 Weeks<\/p>\n

Greatest Hits celebrates 400 weeks spent on the Billboard 200<\/a> as of this frame. The ranking \u2013 Billboard\u2019s flagship albums tally \u2013 measures the most-consumed albums and EPs in America, and it uses both traditional purchases and streaming activity to do so.<\/p>\n

This time around, Greatest Hits falls only five spaces, from No. 13 to No. 18. The compilation reached that No. 13 position \u2013 the compilation\u2019s all-time high point \u2013 only a week ago, many years after its release.<\/p>\n

Fleetwood Mac Has Two 400-Week-Charting Albums<\/p>\n

Greatest Hits is now only the second Fleetwood Mac release to spend at least 400 weeks somewhere on the Billboard 200. It trails the only other effort from the group to do so \u2013 Rumours \u2013 by years. That bestseller is now up to 698 weeks somewhere on the tally and, in less than a month, the blockbuster will almost certainly become the latest title to be inducted into the 700-week club. Throughout the decades that Billboard has published the Billboard 200, only a handful of titles have held on so long.<\/p>\n

Fleetwood Mac Has One Other Triple-Digit-Charter<\/p>\n

Only one other Fleetwood Mac set has managed triple-digit frames on the Billboard 200. The group\u2019s self-titled studio LP debuted on the ranking in August 1975 and eventually rose all the way to No. 1, where it spent a single frame. Fleetwood Mac has now racked up 170 stays somewhere on the 200-space rundown.<\/p>\n

Fleetwood Mac\u2019s Greatest Hits Appears on Six Charts<\/p>\n

Greatest Hits can be found on half a dozen Billboard rankings this week, and amazingly, it lives inside the top 20 on each and every one of them. The compilation lands on the Top Rock Albums, Top Rock & Alternative Albums, Vinyl Albums and Top Streaming Albums charts, the Billboard 200 and the Top Album Sales ranking, and this frame it sits at Nos. 4, 6, 11, 17, 18 and 19, respectively.<\/p>\n

Greatest Hits falls on five of those six rosters. The only exception is the Top Streaming Albums tally, where it holds steady at No. 17, remaining at its all-time peak.<\/p>\n

Fleetwood Mac\u2019s Rumours Remains a Multi-Chart Win<\/p>\n

Rumours joins Greatest Hits on four of the same six Billboard rankings, and just like the compilation, the traditional studio LP similarly moves backward on every one of them. The classic appears on the Vinyl Albums, Top Album Sales and Top Rock & Alternative Albums charts and the Billboard 200, coming in at Nos. 17, 28, 37 and 135, respectively.<\/p>\n

Even as Rumours declines, none of the drops connected with the set are especially dramatic. The album is still a strong seller on vinyl \u2013 across all formats, actually \u2013 while simultaneously continuing its nearly 700-week run on the Billboard 200.<\/p>\n
