Fleetwood Mac's Hit Song Is Back — But It Was Somehow Never A Single
Fleetwood Mac's 'The Chain' reenters Billboard's Rock Streaming Songs chart and the Billboard Global ... More 200 as 'Dreams' climbs to No. 3 on the rock tally. NEW YORK, UNITED STATES: Members of the British rock group Fleetwood Mac (from left) John McVie, Stevie Nicks, Christine McVie, Mick Fleetwood and Lindsay Buckingham appear together after receiving their awards and being inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame 12 January in New York. The thirteenth annual Rock and Roll Hall of Fame induction dinner also honored Santana, The Eagles, The Mamas and Papas, Lloyd Price and Gene Vincent. AFP PHOTO (Photo credit should read JON LEVY/AFP via Getty Images) Fleetwood Mac typically performs well on the Billboard charts every frame thanks in large part to its album Rumours. To a lesser extent, the group's Greatest Hits compilation also keeps the rockers somewhere on the weekly lists. From time to time, one or two tunes featured in the Grammy-winning act's discography manage to find space as well — and at the moment, a pair of cuts are charting once again as one begins a comeback. 'The Chain' — long regarded as one of Fleetwood Mac's most popular compositions — breaks back onto the Rock Streaming Songs tally at No. 23 this week. It also narrowly manages to find space on the Billboard Global 200, the worldwide ranking of the most-consumed tracks, where it settles at No. 195. 'The Chain' has only appeared on the Billboard Global 200 for four nonconsecutive weeks throughout the half-decade the tally has been compiled. Its lifespan on the Rock Streaming Songs list is far more impressive. The Fleetwood Mac tune has now racked up 85 appearances somewhere on the ranking of the most-played rock tracks on platforms like Spotify, Apple Music, and iHeartRadio, where it stands as one of the group's top 10 wins on that roster. Fleetwood Mac scores a pair of hit tracks in the U.S. this week, as 'The Chain' joins 'Dreams' on both the Rock Streaming Songs list and the Billboard Global 200. 'Dreams' is rising across all the tallies it appears on, inching closer to the summit on the rock ranking, where it pushes to No. 3. The same tune can also be found on both the Streaming Songs tally and the Billboard Global Excl. U.S. at the same time. The latter roster removes all sales and streaming activity from the United States to show what the rest of the world is listening to. Both 'Dreams' and 'The Chain' were originally featured on Fleetwood Mac's masterpiece Rumours. While 'Dreams' was selected as a proper single, 'The Chain' never earned that status – but that hasn't stopped it from becoming a certified classic, and one of the band's most beloved songs.

Fleetwood Mac Manages A Chart Feat Usually Reserved For Today's Pop Stars
Fleetwood Mac appears in three spots on the U.K.'s Official Singles chart this week, as 'Dreams,' ... More 'Everywhere,' and 'The Chain' chart simultaneously. NEW YORK, NY - JANUARY 26: (L-R) Honorees Stevie Nicks, John McVie, Christine McVie, Lindsey Buckingham and Mick Fleetwood of Fleetwood Mac seen onstage during MusiCares Person of the Year honoring Fleetwood Mac at Radio City Music Hall on January 26, 2018 in New York City. (Photo by) On the Official Singles chart, which ranks the most-consumed songs in the United Kingdom, artists are only allowed to score three hits at a time. That rule was instituted nearly a decade ago by the Official Charts Company after Ed Sheeran dominated the ranking with tracks from his then-new album ÷ (Divide). It's not uncommon for some of today's biggest pop stars to fill a trio of spots at once—but it's less frequently seen for a band. Fleetwood Mac, however, is not just any group. This week, as one tune returns, the pop-rock outfit achieves a feat typically reserved for the hottest names in the current music industry — not those that scored massive wins half a century ago. Fleetwood Mac appears in three spaces on the Official Singles chart this week. Two of those hits climb from where they sat last frame, while a third reenters the ranking. "Dreams" jumps 10 spots from No. 63 to No. 53. "Everywhere" advances more than 20 spaces to land at No. 77. At the same time, "The Chain" breaks back onto the tally at No. 95. Both "Dreams" and "Everywhere" have lived on the Official Singles chart for more than 100 weeks, as they are now up to 124 and 116 stays, respectively. "The Chain," meanwhile, only recently began finding space on this list, and it has thus far managed just half a dozen turns on the list throughout its lifetime. All three tunes also manage to appear on the Official Streaming chart, though they experience something of a mixed performance. While "Dreams" returns to the top 40, landing in last place inside that region, "Everywhere" drops to No. 54. "The Chain," meanwhile, is a non-mover at No. 70, which remains its all-time best placement on the list of the most-streamed tracks throughout the U.K. On that roster, Fleetwood Mac fills four spaces, as "Go Your Own Way" is back at No. 93.

Her mum is the famous guitarist and singer's ex-wife Kristen Messner. Stella, 21, is now forging a career for herself as a TikTok star. Going under the handle @stelllabuckingham, she posts videos of herself lip-syncing and getting involved with the latest TikTok crazes. The nepo-baby also features her famous dad in her videos, and can be seen pranking him in a few. Stella has almost 20K followers and a whopping 700 likes so far. PARENTS' DIVORCE Stella's mum and dad filed for divorce in 2021, after over two decades together. The former couple tied the knot in 2000 and, along with Stella who is the youngest, they are parents to William, 26, and Leelee, 24. Stella's parents met when Kristen photographed him for one of his solo albums. Lindsey previously revealed he waited 'a long time' for Kristen after dating a lot of "crazy" girlfriends. Fleetwood Mac perform iconic track The Chain on the 1997 The Dance tour He told the Las Vegas Review-Journal in 2011: "I had a lot of crazy girlfriends, and a lot of that was just an outgrowth of the lifestyle we were all leading. 'I did see a lot of friends who were parents and spouses — back in previous decades — who weren't really there and kind of screwed up their kids, and were not there for their family situations. "So I waited and I was lucky enough to meet someone relatively late. 'So it's worked out really well. I got all that other garbage out of the way.' Lindsey also famously dated one-time bandmate Stevie Nicks and the pair wrote some of their most famous songs following their split, including Go Your Own Way. 7 Stella posts lip-syncing videos on TikTok Credit: Tiktok/@stelllabuckingham FLEETWOOD MAC STAR Lindsey joined the world famous band Fleetwood Mac in 1975. Together with Stevie, the band was formed of Mick Fleetwood, and Christine and John McVie. Lindsey first left the band in acrimonious circumstances in 1987. He then rejoined when the group reformed in 1997 but again left under a cloud, amid rows over a forthcoming tour in 2018. 7 Lindsey left Fleetwood Mac again in 2018 Credit: Getty Speaking exclusively to The Sun at the time, Mick Fleetwood admitted the acrimonious exit of Lindsey could have marked the end of one of rock's great names. He said: 'Lindsey's departure was traumatic and a major change for the band, but we decided we wanted to carry on. We made the decision together. "Of course, we could have just stopped and it probably would have been an easy point to stop, but we definitely didn't want to. 'Lindsay left fairly acrimoniously and we weren't getting on well any more, and yes, it is a happier ship to be on. "We have two new people in the band who have been hugely accepted and welcomed, but in many ways it does amaze me that we are still here all these years later, after all of the ups and downs."
