Fleetwood Mac's "Rumors" record may have been released in 1977, but it's had a whole new life on Spotify over the last two decades.
According to data recently released by the streaming platform, celebrating it's 20th anniversary, the album was streamed 8.3 billion times since the music hub's 2006 launch.
The record, which brought fans iconic songs like "Go Your Own Way" and "Dreams" was also discovered to be Spotify's oldest of its all-time top 100 albums.

And while it saw immediate success upon its release as its spent a record 31 weeks at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 chart, according to Billboard.com, it stayed popular for decades to come, transcending the way music fans tuned in — from records to streaming.
"Dreams" also saw a resurgence in it's own right in 2020, following a viral TikTok where a man was riding a skateboard and drinking cranberry juice in a video that was soundtracked to the song. The band's 2023 release of 'Rumors: Live' also saw major success on the Billboard chart.
However at the time of its recording, interband relationships were falling apart. Stevie Nicksand Lindsey Buckingham were ending their relationship, while Christine and John McVie were divorcing — a factor that Nicks said years later, played a part in the album's success.
"Everybody was breaking up and of course that always adds for really great songwriting," she told Red Carpet News TV in 2013. "There was kind of a passion thing that was going on and some anger, but still we never let that get in the way, that was never brought into the studio, but what was brought into the studio was great words, great poems, great music and everybody dug it."
"Even though we were all kind of in chaos everybody was like, 'Well that was great,'" she added. "That'll never happen again, that was a moment we can never recreate."
