has received
diamond certifications

The band wanted
to expand on
the commercial success
of the 1975 album
Fleetwood Mac,
but struggled with
relationship breakups
before recording started.
The Rumours
studio sessions
were marked by
hedonistic behavior
and interpersonal strife
among
Fleetwood Mac members;
these experiences shaped
the album's lyrics.
Influenced by pop music,
the record's tracks
were recorded using a
combination of acoustic
and electric instruments.
The mixing process delayed
the completion
of Rumours,
but was finished by
the end of 1976.
Following the album's release
in 1977,
Fleetwood Mac
undertook worldwide
promotional tours.
Rumours
garnered widespread
critical acclaim
Praise centered on its
production quality
and harmonies,
which frequently relied on
the interplay
among three vocalists.
The record has inspired
the work of musical acts
in different genres.
Often considered
Fleetwood Mac's
best release,
it has featured in several
publications' lists
of the best albums
of the 1970s
and the
best albums
of all time.
