FLEETWOOD Topped The UK Album Charts This Day 45 Years Ago With ‘RUMOURS

Back in time

28 January 2023

While punk was busy to explode in the UK and the USA in 1977, massive bands and artists still dominated the charts. Like FLEETWOOD MAC II (the original, blues-oriented, band was formed in 1967 by Peter Green, Mick Fleetwood, Jeremy Spencer and John McVie. After Green and Spencer left the late great Christine McVie joined in 1970 on keyboards. Lindsey Buckingham and Stevie Nicks came in 1974).

45 years ago, on 28 January 1978, their masterpiece LP RUMOURS hit the spot
on the UK Album Charts. The longplayer has sold over 40 million copies worldwide
since its release.

Prepare Yourself For A Sweaty Party With Swirling Disco Rollers BUGEYE…

9 June 2020

‘Blending cherry-liqueur lyrics, bubblegum-kneecap bass electrics, goth-heavy
drum compactions & hi-rise guitar sculptures’
.

That’s exactly how London’s swirling dance ‘n’ roll addicts BUGEYE sound like.
They’re about to unleash their debut album READY STEADY BANG! I guess the
record’s title says it all. Expect fuel for all 24-hour party people among us. But
most of all fuel to (hopefully) celebrate the end of the unreal lockdown months
we all experienced.

So far the band shared four jitterbug-eye corkers. Four hot stuff harbingers for
a sweaty Saturday Night Fever Blast. Four shake your booty rippers. Four B-52’s
love shack injections. Glorious times ahead, ladies and gents! Let’s start the hip-
swaying foreplay right here…

HISTORY – 2 April 1977…

2 April 2019

While punk was busy to explode in the UK and the USA in 1977, massive bands and artists still dominated the charts. Like FLEETWOOD MAC II (the original, blues-oriented, band was formed in 1967 by Peter Green, Mick Fleetwood, Jeremy Spencer and John McVie. After Green and Spencer left Christine McVie joined in 1970 on keyboards. Lindsey Buckingham (guitar) and Stevie Nicks (vocals) came in 1974). After a first, self-titled LP with the new crew (1975) they scored a monstrous success with the follow-up RUMOURS. An outstanding – classic – pop & rock album thanks to the varied and fertile input of the different singer/songwriters in the band and the fact that the breakdown of their private relationships led to several, captivating songs.

On 2 April 1977, 42 years ago, the LP hit the spot of the US Billboard albums chart and stayed there for 31 consecutive weeks! The longplayer has sold over 40 million copies worldwide since then. After a couple of stops and restarts in the past the group (minus Lindsey Buckingham) is back touring again this year.
