Fleetwood Mac fans go crazy after reunion rumours spark
Fleetwood Mac fans have been given a reason to speculate about a surprise reunion after core band members Stevie Nicks and Lindsey Buckingham shared a pair of cryptic posts on social media. On Thursday, the rock duo teamed up for a coordinated message on social media with lyrics from their 1973 song Frozen Love. The song featured on the pair's sole studio album as a duo, Buckingham Nicks, before they joined Fleetwood Mac the following year. Stevie Nicks and Lindsey Buckingham finished a lyric together on social media. Pic:for NARAS Stevie shared a picture of a hand-written line, reading: 'And if you go forward…', with Lindsey sharing his own hand-written message: 'I'll meet you there', to complete the lyric. Neither post had any caption or explanation to go along with it, leaving fans to speculate what it could be hinting towards. However, another post earlier this week by the band's co-founder and drummer, Mick Fleetwood, also referenced the song which has led fans to believe a reunion could be on the cards. WHAT IN THE SILVER SPRINGS IS HAPPENING WITH FLEETWOOD MAC??!! — em 🇵🇸 (@youroulonemily) July 17, 2025 In his own Instagram post, Mick was seen listening to the track and saying: 'It's all in the song… It's in the music that played on for so many years. It's magic then, magic now. What a thrill.' Naturally, Fleetwood Mac fans have been whipped up into quite a frenzy as they eagerly await the explanations of the cryptic messages. One fan posted on X: 'WHAT IN THE SILVER SPRINGS IS HAPPENING WITH FLEETWOOD MAC??!!' Another added: 'I will pay an INSANE amount of money for a Fleetwood Mac reunion tour.' A third said: 'Please let this be a hint to a Fleetwood Mac reunion! I will cry.' for non fleetwood mac fans this is like zayn rejoining one direction — harriet 🌙 (@blackmoonpoet) July 17, 2025 Another hopeful fan jokingly explained: 'For non Fleetwood Mac fans this is like Zayn rejoining One Direction.' To see Stevie and Lindsey coordinating a post together is looked at as a surprise in itself considering the pair's notoriously turbulent past. Having been romantically involved with each other to then breaking up during the band's recording of the album Rumours, the duo have given fans an emotional rollercoaster over the years. WAKE UP!!! EVERYBODY WAKE UP!!! — Dr. Raven the Science Maven (@ravenscimaven) July 17, 2025 Their separation made an everlasting impact on music however, inspiring songs such as Stevie's 'Dreams' and Lindsey's 'Go Your Own Way'. Fleetwood Mac did technically reunite back in 2019 during their 'An Evening with Fleetwood Mac' tour, although it was without Lindsey. However this could not be what fans are hoping for due to the death of keyboardist and vocalist Christine McVie in 2022 and Stevie has previously stating that there is no band without her. Fleetwood Mac fans are eagerly awaiting some context for the posts. Pic:Last year, she told Mojo: 'Without Christine, no can do. There is no chance of putting Fleetwood Mac back together in any way. Without her, it just couldn't work.' The only sure thing right now is that fans will be on the edge of their seats for whatever announcement could appear over the next while.

Fleetwood Mac's Classic Single Reaches A New All-Time Peak
Fleetwood Mac's 'The Chain' hits a new streaming peak in the U.K., while Rumours and other albums ... More continue to dominate multiple charts decades after release. UNITED STATES - OCTOBER 01: NEW HAVEN Photo of FLEETWOOD MAC, L-R: John McVie, Lindsey Buckingham, Christone McVie, Stevie Nicks, Mick Fleetwood - posed, group shot, by car - MusicBrainz: bd13909f-1c29-4c27-a874-d4aaf27c5b1a (Photo by Fin Costello/Redferns) Fleetwood Mac's staying power in the United Kingdom is nothing short of extraordinary. The band first found chart success more than half a century ago, and while most acts from that era are long gone from mainstream consciousness, this group keeps showing up — and not just with album sales. The rock outfit continues to rack up hit singles in a field so often dominated by viral smashes and brand new releases. This time around, one of the act's most iconic tracks, 'The Chain,' climbs to a brand new peak. Fleetwood Mac is in the middle of another huge frame on the U.K. charts. The group appears with three albums and just as many singles, but only one of those cuts is growing in any major way. 'The Chain' lifts from No. 99 to No. 90 on the Official Streaming Chart, which ranks the 100 most-played songs in the country across services like Spotify and Apple Music. That's still a fairly low placement overall, but it does mark a new all-time best showing for the classic tune. 'The Chain' remains the lowest-charting of Fleetwood Mac's streaming hits in the U.K., even at this new high. This week, it earns its tenth appearance somewhere on the Official Streaming chart. Only four songs by the band have ever reached this particular tally. The others — 'Dreams,' 'Everywhere,' and 'Go Your Own Way' — have all climbed higher, and of the bunch, 'Dreams' is the most successful. It has previously broken into the top 40, peaking at No. 27. It's also the longest-running Fleetwood Mac song when it comes to this list, with 176 turns on the ranking. Fleetwood Mac doesn't only appear on the streaming tally this week. Both 'Dreams' and 'Everywhere' are present on a pair of U.K. charts. 'Dreams' improves on both the Official Singles and the Official Streaming charts, while 'Everywhere' slips on both tallies. While the focus might be on the singles, Fleetwood Mac's albums are also responsible for notable showings across a variety of U.K. charts. Both 50 Years – Don't Stop and the group's Greatest Hits appear on two rankings apiece. The former finds a home on both the all-consumption list and the streaming-only tally, while the latter holds on the general sales chart and the downloads-only ranking. Each project is not just a win, it shows that interest in consuming the band's work differs from title to title. Then there's Rumours, the band's magnum opus. This frame, it can be found on six different charts in the U.K. alone. It performs well across the board, showing up on rankings that account for sales of all kinds, streaming activity, and overall consumption.

Fleetwood Mac Scores A New Hit Album In America — Without New Music
Fleetwood Mac's retrospective box set Fleetwood Mac 1975–1987 debuts on three Billboard charts, ... More despite the fact that it features no new music. UNITED STATES - OCTOBER 01: NEW HAVEN Photo of FLEETWOOD MAC, L-R: John McVie, Lindsey Buckingham, Christone McVie, Stevie Nicks, Mick Fleetwood - posed, group shot, by car - MusicBrainz: bd13909f-1c29-4c27-a874-d4aaf27c5b1a (Photo by Fin Costello/Redferns) Fleetwood Mac hasn't dropped a new album in many years, and won't be doing so again. The group's iconic catalog continues to deliver to this day, as people all around the world keep buying and streaming, no matter how much time passes. This week, a newly-issued retrospective box set titled Fleetwood Mac 1975-1987 earns a solid entrance across a trio of Billboard charts, even though most of the people who rushed to the project almost surely know the material by heart at this point. The newly-released collection Fleetwood Mac 1975–1987 kicks off its chart run by appearing on three Billboard charts. On the Billboard 200, the all-genre roster that tracks the most-consumed albums in the U.S., the set opens at No. 109. The release fares even better on genre-specific lists. It debuts at No. 18 on the Top Rock Albums chart, and enters at No. 23 on the Top Rock & Alternative Albums ranking. Fleetwood Mac 1975–1987 becomes the band's first new placement on the Billboard 200 in about a year and a half. That's not a long stretch, especially considering the fact that the band isn't producing truly new music. The last time Fleetwood Mac debuted a project on the chart was in September 2023, when Rumours: Live arrived at No. 81. That effort was also pulled from the vaults, and like this new box set, it showed that even decades-old recordings can turn into healthy wins for one of the most celebrated bands in rock history. With this week's new arrival, Fleetwood Mac has now pushed 31 different titles to the Billboard 200 across its lengthy career. The new compilation also gives the band its twelfth placement on both the Top Rock Albums and Top Rock & Alternative Albums lists. Those tallies didn't exist back when many of the group's biggest albums were released, though. According to Luminate, Fleetwood Mac 1975–1987 moved 11,700 equivalent units in its first tracking frame. That total includes a mix of activity, with around 1,500 pure sales and the rest coming from streaming and track downloads. As the Fleetwood Mac 1975–1987 box set debuts, another of the band's albums continues to show serious staying power. Rumours, widely regarded as one of the greatest rock albums of all time, is still present on five different Billboard rankings this week. It remains inside the top 40 on each of them, including the Billboard 200, and it holds steady within the top five on both rock-specific tallies.
