Fleetwood Mac's Self-Titled Album Returns As A Bestseller
Several Fleetwood Mac albums play sort of like hits compilations, as they feature so many beloved songs. The group's Rumours is certainly counted among that bunch, as is the pop-rock act's self-titled effort, which is a hit once again in the UK — even as multiple compilations featuring some of its most popular singles perform well at the same time.
Fleetwood Mac – the Album – Breaks Onto Multiple Lists
Fleetwood Mac's self-titled full-length appears on two charts in the UK at the moment, and it returns to both of them. The set reenters the Official Physical Albums roster at No. 21, and it finds its way to the Official Album Sales list at No. 24.
Fleetwood Mac Almost Returns to its Peak
Fleetwood Mac comes very close to matching its all-time high on both of those sales tallies. In the past, this version of the project has only spent about a month on the rankings, and it has previously topped out at No. 20.
Two Self-Titled Albums by Fleetwood Mac
Fleetwood Mac released two self-titled albums, separated by less than a decade from one another. The latter of the two, which dropped in 1975, is the more successful of the bunch, as by that point the group had become hugely successful. That project produced singles like 'Warm Ways,' 'Rhiannon,' and 'Say You Love Me,' and the fan-favorite album cut 'Landslide.'
Rumours, 50 Years – Don't Stop and Greatest Hits
Fleetwood Mac is one of four full-lengths by the band that appear on the charts in the U.K. at the moment. Rumours is the top performer, as it lives on half a dozen rankings, while 50 Years – Don't Stop settles on two and still makes space inside the top 10 on both of them. Another compilation, the simply-named Greatest Hits, can also be found on the Official Album Downloads ranking, where it lifts a pair of spaces to No. 62.
'Dreams,' 'Everywhere,' 'The Chain' and 'Go Your Own Way'
Just as many songs by the band also find space on at least one U.K.-based chart. That roundup includes 'Dreams,' 'Everywhere,' 'The Chain,' and 'Go Your Own Way,' which finds its way back to the Official Streaming list in one of the lowest spaces. Interestingly, none of Fleetwood Mac's hits at the moment appear on its self-titled album, so it's not a surging tune that helps the studio effort reappear, but rather just its continued popularity throughout the decades.

Gen Z & Gen Alpha ‘Brainrot' Terms Have Officially Been Added to the Cambridge Dictionary — & We Have So Many Questions
Language is ever evolving, and that's never been more evident than when listening to Gen Z and Gen Alpha talk. They say the most random, out-of-pocket things that have gone viral on the internet from songs, resurfaced phrases from TV and movies, and more places that we can only begin to guess the origins of. It's hard to keep up! Still, rather than write these off as teen slang (or 'brainrot,' as people call the more nonsensical words), Cambridge Dictionary is leaning into the narrative. The prestigious publication revealed that it has added over 6,200 new words to its lexicon, including some of the most popular thing kids are saying right now, and we have so many questions about this move. Boasting as 'one of the fastest-growing dictionaries in the world,' Cambridge has added definitions for words like skibidi, delulu, tradwife, broligarchy, and more. Yes, these are now considered actual words. More from SheKnows Teens Are Showing off Their Dorm Rooms on TikTok & People Are Calling One Detail 'Diabolical' 'It's not every day you get to see words like skibidi and delulu make their way into the Cambridge Dictionary,' Colin McIntosh, Lexical Programme Manager at Cambridge Dictionary, said in a statement. 'We only add words where we think they'll have staying power. Internet culture is changing the English language and the effect is fascinating to observe and capture in the Dictionary.' We are so confused by this move. If the words are in the dictionary, does that mean students can include things like 'delulu' in their official school essays? And how did the researchers determine that these particular terms have staying power as opposed to other words like 'gurt'? And the most important question of all: will kids come up with a whole new slew of phrases once they realize adults finally know the definitions of their popular slang? (How can anyone keep up, ever?) People had big reactions to the words being added to the dictionary on X. 'Humanity is f**king doomed,' one person wrote, per Daily Dot. 'It's time to revoke internet privileges,' someone else Tweeted. Still, as a parent of two Gen Alpha kids, I'm thankful for these definitions ¾ because my kids certainly can't (or won't) explain them to me. After all, a June study found that only 68 percent of parents understand what Gen Alpha is saying (which is the same or higher than what AI models could understand). Keep reading for some of the slang terms added to Cambridge Dictionary and their definitions. Skibidi (adjective): 'a word that can have different meanings such as 'cool' or 'bad,' or can be used with no real meaning as a joke.' Delulu (adjective): 'believing things that are not real or true, usually because you choose to.' Lewk (noun): 'a particular style, fashion, or outfit especially one that is unusual and impressive.' Broligarchy (noun): 'a small group of men, especially men owning or involved in a technology business, who are extremely rich and powerful, and who have or want political influence.' Tradwife (noun): 'a married woman, especially one who posts on social media, who stays at home doing cooking, cleaning, etc. and has children that she takes care of.' Inspo (noun): 'something, especially something posted on the internet, that gives you ideas for doing something or that makes you want to do something.' Slop (noun): 'content on the internet that is of very low quality, especially when it is created by artificial intelligence.' Rizz (noun): 'the ability to attract people's attention and make them like you, often in a romantic or sexual way.' Search for more popular words in the Cambridge Dictionary HERE.

'Chilling' political interference of BBC must stop, says former news boss
The BBC should be protected from "political interference", the corporation's former director of news has said, after the culture secretary appeared to call for the resignation of director-general Tim Davie earlier this year. Lisa Nandy said ministers expected "accountability at the highest levels" following the iPlayer broadcast of Bob Vylan's highly controversial Glastonbury set in June. James Harding, who previously edited the Times and now runs Tortoise Media, told the Edinburgh TV Festival the BBC should remain independent of government, and said Nandy's close involvement in the Bob Vylan scandal was "chilling". In response, a DCMS spokesperson said: "The culture secretary has been repeatedly clear that the role of the director general is a matter for the BBC board. Any suggestion to the contrary is untrue." In his keynote MacTaggart Lecture, Harding said the perception of a "political presence looming over the BBC" is a problem and that the broadcaster needs to be "beyond the reach of politicians". Several staff were asked to step back from their duties after the live streaming of Bob Vylan's Glastonbury set, where the punk duo led chants of "death, death to the IDF [Israel Defence Forces]" and made other derogatory comments. Nandy's subsequent call for accountability at the top of the corporation for the decision not to pull the live stream of the performance was subsequently interpreted as calling for Davie's resignation. In his speech, Harding criticised "political interference", or the perception of it, in relation to the BBC, saying it was something "we've got too accustomed to". "The culture secretary's office insists she did not explicitly ask Samir Shah, the BBC chair, to deliver up the director general's resignation... but people inside the BBC were left in no doubt that was the message," Harding said. "Whatever your view of the hate speech vs freedom of speech issues, an overbearing government minister doesn't help anyone," he said. "The hiring and firing of [the director general] should not be the job of a politician." A DCMS spokesperson said: "The BBC has itself acknowledged a number of serious failings in recent months, including the broadcasting of the Bob Vylan set at Glastonbury. It is entirely right that the culture secretary raised these issues with the BBC leadership on behalf of licence fee payers. "The government remains committed to the very important principle that the BBC is operationally and editorially independent. We are focused on securing a sustainable future for the BBC and helping strengthen public trust in the Corporation as part of the upcoming Charter Review."

Elsewhere, Match of the Day host Gary Lineker left the BBC after sharing an Instagram reel about Zionism that featured an illustration of a rat, considered an antisemitic slur. Harding said the BBC was "not institutionally antisemitic", and that it was "untrue and unhelpful to say it is", adding that it was "much better to correct the mistakes and address the judgement calls that have been wrong". He acknowledged the BBC had "made mistakes... and it can be much too slow to correct them". Referring to a debate early in the conflict about the BBC's use of language, Harding said he thought it the BBC was "wrong not to use the word 'terrorist' for the attacks of October 7th; journalists shouldn't censor words, but use them accurately". Harding did not comment on the events surrounding Lineker's resignation, but did say he felt football pundits generally "should be able to have views as a citizen, as well as a job as a BBC broadcaster". Harding also used his speech to argue the BBC has a crucial role to play in defending truth in an age of artificial intelligence (AI) and declining trust in traditional media. "A shared understanding of what's true is disappearing before our eyes," he said. "More people are paranoid, prone to conspiracy theories. Large numbers of people are giving up on the idea of facts." He continued: "Politics and technology are doing untold damage to trust in the world. "On the one hand, politicians are trying to control or cancel the media, particularly news. On the other, AI is beginning to lay waste to the economics of information, while also remaking the job of storytellers." In an age where "we're more divided, more certain we're right", Harding argued, the BBC should be protected and championed as the "most important source of information in this country". He said the corporation was "the best defence of truth and trust against the lies of dictators and demagogues". The BBC's royal charter will be up for renewal in 2027, and it has not yet been decided whether the licence fee will be replaced by a new funding system. Harding reflected: "We're at the beginning of a new information age, if we want it to be truly creative, innovative and competitive globally, we can't short-change the BBC again. "We need, surely, to be thinking about a mix of funding that gets closer to doubling its resources," Harding said. "Because obviously, given the cost of living, that's not going to happen just through the licence fee. "Over five years, nearly two-and-half million households have dropped out of paying the licence fee, so this needs fixing. It's expensive and unfair on those who pay. If we believe in the universality of the BBC, we need to return to the principle in some form or other that every household pays." Harding also suggested news and current affairs programmes could be opened up to independent producers in an effort to make the BBC more of a "people's platform" and allow more varied thinking while maintaining standards of truth and accuracy.
