Today in music history - Fleetwood Mac hit #1 for the first (and only) time

Fleetwood Mac has a pretty massive back catalog; in fact, it consists of 18 studio albums, 10 live albums, 23 compilation albums, one extended play and a whopping 62 singles. The band have also sold over 120 million records worldwide, making them one of the best-selling artists of all time—45th in fact.

With such massive success and being a household name, you’d be surprised to know that the band have only ever topped the charts in the USA once, and that song made it there today (18 June) in 1977.

It was of course, "Dreams" of their hugely successful "Rumours" album. The album was so successful, managing to sell 13 million copies by 1980, as of 2023 it's now at 40 million.

“Dreams” managed to stay at number 1 for the week but since it’s initial success, it has jumped back into the charts on a few occasions more recently In late 2020, the song experienced a widespread resurgence in popularity as a result of a viral TikTok video created by Nathan Apodaca. The song subsequently re-entered the music charts and also entered the Spotify and Apple Music charts in certain countries "Dreams" was ranked number nine on Rolling Stone's 2021 list of the "500 Greatest Songs of All Time".
