Rumours is the eleventh studio album by the British-American rock band Fleetwood Mac, released on 4 February 1977, by Warner Bros. Records. Largely recorded in California in 1976, it was produced by the band with Ken Caillat and Richard Dashut. The recording sessions took place as the band members dealt with breakups and struggled with heavy drug usage, both of which shaped the album`s direction and lyrics.

Recorded with the intention of making `a pop album` that would expand on the commercial success of the 1975 album Fleetwood Mac, Rumours contains a mix of electric and acoustic instrumentation, accented rhythms, guitars, and keyboards. Its lyrics concern personal and often troubled relationships. Its release was postponed by delays in the mixing process. The band promoted the album with a worldwide concert tour.

Rumours became the band`s first number-one album on the UK Albums Chart and also topped the US Billboard 200. It received multi-platinum certifications in Australia, Canada, Denmark, New Zealand, the UK, and the US. As of February 2023, Rumours had sold over 40 million copies worldwide, making it one of the best selling albums of all time. All of its four singles—`Go Your Own Way`, `Dreams`, `Don`t Stop`, and `You Make Loving Fun`—reached the top 10 on the US Billboard Hot 100, with `Dreams` reaching number one. In 2004, Rumours was remastered and reissued, with the addition of the track `Silver Springs` and outtakes from the recording sessions.

The album garnered widespread acclaim from critics, who praised its production quality and the vocal harmonies of the band`s three singers, and won Album of the Year at the 1978 Grammy Awards. Often considered Fleetwood Mac`s magnum opus and one of the greatest albums of all time, Rumours was inducted to the Grammy Hall of Fame in 2003. The album was selected for preservation in the National Recording Registry in 2017 by the Library of Congress, which deemed it `culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant`.[1] In 2020, Rumours ranked seventh in Rolling Stone`s list of the `500 Greatest Albums of All Time`.

Background
After the guitarist Bob Welch left Fleetwood Mac in 1974, the drummer Mick Fleetwood, the keyboardist and vocalist Christine McVie, and the bassist John McVie were joined by the guitarist and singer Lindsey Buckingham and the singer Stevie Nicks.[2] In July 1975, Fleetwood Mac released its eponymous tenth album to great commercial success, reaching No. 1 in the U.S. in 1976; the record`s singles `Over My Head`, `Rhiannon` and `Say You Love Me` all reached the Top 20 there.

But the band`s success belied turmoil amongst its members. After six months of non-stop touring, the McVies divorced, ending eight years of marriage.[3][4] The couple stopped talking to each other socially and discussed only musical matters.[5] Buckingham and Nicks were having an on/off relationship that led them to fight often. The duo`s arguments stopped only when they worked on songs together.[6] Fleetwood faced domestic problems of his own after discovering that his wife Jenny, mother of his two children, was having an affair with his best friend.[7]

Press intrusions into the band members` lives led to inaccurate stories. Christine McVie was reported to have been in the hospital with a serious illness, while Buckingham and Nicks were declared the parents of Fleetwood`s daughter Lucy after being photographed with her. The press also wrote about a rumoured return of original Fleetwood Mac members Peter Green, Danny Kirwan, and Jeremy Spencer for a tenth anniversary tour.[8] Despite false reports, the band did not change its lineup, although its members had no time to come to terms with the separations before recording for a new album began.[5] Fleetwood has noted the `tremendous emotional sacrifices` made by everyone just to attend studio work.[9] In early 1976, Fleetwood Mac crafted some new tracks in Florida.[10] Fleetwood and John McVie fired their producer Keith Olsen because he favoured a lower emphasis on the rhythm section. The duo formed a company called Seedy Management to represent the band`s interests.[11]
