Fleetwood Mac’s Reissued 1975 Album Rises to No. 8 on Vinyl Albums Chart
The recent reissue of Fleetwood Mac’s 1975 album has made an impressive climb to the No. 8 spot on Billboard’s Vinyl Albums chart. After Rhino Records released the 50th-anniversary edition of the album, sales saw an astonishing 955% increase, jumping from under 500 units to 5,000 units per week, based on data from Luminate. Fans eagerly embraced the fresh release, which includes Blu-ray versions and special vinyl pressings, leading to the album’s first appearance in the top 10 on the Vinyl Albums chart since its debut in April 2025. This reissue marks the band’s sixth album to achieve a top 10 position on the Vinyl Albums chart.
The success of the album isn’t limited to the vinyl format. It has also received a nine-times platinum certification from the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) and has re-entered various Billboard charts. It currently holds positions at No. 16 on the Top Album Sales chart, No. 20 on the Top Rock Albums chart, and No. 24 on the Top Rock & Alternative Albums chart. Additionally, the album has secured a spot at No. 90 on the Billboard 200 chart. With this accomplishment, the 1975 release joins the ranks of Rumours and Greatest Hits as the third Fleetwood Mac album to appear on multiple Billboard charts.
Fleetwood Mac’s success on the vinyl charts extends to a total of six top 10 albums. These include Greatest Hits, Rumours: Live, The Alternate Fleetwood Mac, The Alternate Rumours, and Rumours. Notably, Rumours holds the top spot at No. 1, having spent one week at the peak during its impressive 424-week chart run.
The recent success of the self-titled 1975 album, which claimed the eighth position on the Vinyl Albums chart, comes at the expense of Rumours, which slipped to the No. 12 spot. The reissue of the 1975 album serves as a pivotal moment, highlighting the album’s role in shaping the band’s trajectory towards their subsequent breakthrough. In a quote featured in the band’s bio on Instagram, drummer Mick Fleetwood describes being in Fleetwood Mac as akin to “being in group therapy.”
