"Rumours" have it that Fleetwood Mac just won't quit !!

C'mon now !  Time to fess up.  How many copies of "Rumours" do you have ? (on vinyl, cassette, CD, DVD - was it ever available on 8-track ?)  How many people do you know who have less than one copy ?

This album was definitely -- and remains -- a record breaker (no pun intended), in so many ways:

• Although it was Fleetwood Mac's 11th album (!!), who really knew them before this album's release, as well as they do subsequently ? and did they ever sound as good ?;
• It topped the charts in both the U.S. (and Canada) as well as the U.K.;
• It contained several tracks that became hit singles;
• Anybody & everybody has it on their list of "best of the '70s" and "best ever";
• On some of the tracks, you can even understand Stevie Nicks' vocals !!
• It contains tracks by each singer-songwriter in the group;
• It is still seeing very active sales numbers, to this very day !!

On this day, October 24 in 1987, "Rumours" set a new longevity mark.

When Fleetwood Mac's record-breaking album Rumours chalked up its 397th week on the UK chart, it became the holder of the record for most weeks on that chart, overtaking Meat Loaf's similarly revered Bat Out of Hell.

"Rumours" topped the US chart for 31 weeks (a record for a non-soundtrack album until it was beaten by Michael Jackson's "Thriller" in 1983) and also topped the UK chart for a single week, but refused to leave the listings.  By the end of 1991, "Rumours" had accumulated 443 weeks on the chart, over six month's worth more than Meat Loaf's mere 416.
