Rumours was Fleetwood Mac’s eleventh and best-selling album, with in excess of 40 million copies distributed worldwide. It hit #1 and stayed at the top of numerous music charts for weeks, and included four individual hit singles. In 2003, Rumours was named as the 25th greatest album of all time by the editors of Rolling Stone magazine.
A Grammy Award winner, Rumours’ tracks were recorded using a combination of acoustic and electric instruments. Widespread praise centered on its production quality and harmonies, which frequently relied on the interplay among three vocalists.
