Fleetwood Mac‘s Rumours is the album that just keeps on giving and giving.
47 years after its release, the UK’s Official Charts named it the best-selling vinyl of the ’70s, ’80s and ’90s, with an additional 280,000 in sales this millennium. And the Mac had another album in the Top 40 with Greatest Hits at 11.
Nirvana and Oasis each had two albums in the Top 10, plus one more each between 11 and 40.
Other acts with multiple albums include Queen, David Bowie and Pink Floyd.
Ironically, The Beatles and The Rolling Stones, two of England’s all-time biggest acts, failed to make the list.
