There's seemingly never a time when Fleetwood Mac doesn't claim a bestselling album in the United Kingdom. Some weeks, the group scores multiple wins, while at other times, competition is simply too fierce and the band's catalog takes a back seat – though it never disappears completely…but that's not what's happening this time around. The beloved pop-rock outfit not only occupies multiple spaces on almost every albums ranking in the country, but one hugely successful compilation returns and becomes a bestseller again for the first time in over a year.
Fleetwood Mac's Greatest Hits reenters a trio of tallies in the U.K this week. The set is back on the Official Physical Albums chart at No. 67, and comes in just a few spots beneath that slot on the Official Albums Sales roster, at No. 71. The singles-packed collection is also a top 40 bestseller once more on the Official Vinyl Albums chart, breaking back in at No. 36.
Greatest Hits hasn't been away from either the Official Albums Sales or Official Physical Albums charts for very long. In fact, it only disappeared from those rankings, which are focused entirely on pure purchases, earlier in May. The compilation regularly falls off and then returns to thoe lists, depending on what else is happening at the moment and how Fleetwood Mac's other titles are performing.
While Greatest Hits has sold fairly well throughout 2025, it hadn't appeared on the Official Vinyl Albums chart for over a year. The last time the band's compilation was found on the tally focused solely on vinyl purchases was back in February 2024.
Greatest Hits has spent significantly less time on the Official Vinyl Albums chart compared to the other two sales rankings where it can currently be found. While the compilation has already cracked triple digit stays on both the Official Albums Sales and Official Physical Albums tallies, it has yet to do so on the vinyl-only roster.
Greatest Hits is one of three releases by Fleetwood Mac that currently appear on the albums charts in the U.K. 50 Years – Don't Stop is the most impressive performer, as it sits inside the top five on two different rankings, including the Official Albums chart. Meanwhile, Rumours makes a home on half a dozen rosters, and it's rising everywhere.
