Fleetwood Mac’s eleventh studio album, Rumours became one of the best-selling albums worldwide, being certified 20× platinum in the U.S.

Meanwhile, the British-American rock band’s hits collection 50 Years – Don’t Stop jumped nine places after a weekend of sales to No. 14.

Paying tributes to her bandmate last week, Fleetwood Mac’s Stevie Nicks wrote on Instagram, “A few hours ago I was told that my best friend in the whole world since the first day of 1975, had passed away. I didn’t even know she was ill…until late Saturday night. I wanted to be in London; I wanted to get to London – but we were told to wait.”
