{{Main|Fleetwood Mac}}
McVie was a fan of Fleetwood Mac and while she was touring with Chicken Shack the two bands would often meet. Both bands were signed to the [[Blue Horizon (record label)|Blue Horizon]] label, and McVie played piano as a session musician on [[Peter Green (musician)|Peter Green]]'s songs on Fleetwood Mac's second studio album, ''[[Mr. Wonderful (Fleetwood Mac album)|Mr. Wonderful]]''.<ref>Mike Vernon's CD Booklet, Fleetwood Mac: The Complete Blue Horizon Sessions 1967–1969, Chapter 2</ref><ref name=fg>{{cite web |last1=Swanson |first1=Dave |date=3 September 2016 |title=45 Years Ago: Fleetwood Mac Play 'Future Games' |url=http://ultimateclassicrock.com/fleetwood-mac-future-games/ |website=Ultimate Classic Rock |access-date=5 September 2016}}</ref> Encouraged to continue her career, she recorded a debut solo studio album, ''[[Christine Perfect (album)|Christine Perfect]]'', which was later reissued as ''The Legendary Christine Perfect Album''. She was invited to join Fleetwood Mac as a keyboard player in 1970 after the departure of founding member Peter Green, having already contributed piano and backing vocals, uncredited, to their next album, ''[[Kiln House]]''<ref name="Fleetwood1990">{{cite book|author=Mick Fleetwood with Stephen Davis|title=My Life and Adventures with Fleetwood Mac|date=1990|publisher= Sidgewick & Jackson, London}}</ref> and provided the artwork for the sleeve. The band had been struggling to manage without Green and had needed another musician to fill in their sound.<ref name="Fleetwood1990" />{{sfn|Unterberger|2017|pp=60-61}} McVie had been a huge fan of the Peter Green-era Fleetwood Mac<ref>{{cite news|url=http://bla.fleetwoodmac.net/index.php?page=index_v2&id=1048&c=2|title=Goldmine Magazine 1992 interview|publisher=Bla.fleetwoodmac.net|access-date=5 April 2015|url-status=live|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150412070423/http://bla.fleetwoodmac.net/index.php?page=index_v2&id=1048&c=2|archive-date=12 April 2015}}</ref> and learned the songs for ''Kiln House'' during rehearsals.<ref name="Fleetwood1990" />

McVie became an integral member of Fleetwood Mac as keyboard player, songwriter and female lead vocalist. Before she joined there had been talk of the band splitting up, but Fleetwood said later that "Christine became the glue [that held the band together]. She filled out our sound beautifully."<ref name="Fleetwood1990" /> The first studio album on which McVie played as a full band member was ''[[Future Games]]'' in 1971. This was also the first album on which she worked with American guitarist and songwriter [[Bob Welch (musician)|Bob Welch]], who had replaced founding member [[Jeremy Spencer]].<ref name=fg/>

McVie moved with the rest of Fleetwood Mac to California in 1974,<ref name="Fleetwood1990" /> where Welch left after a final album, ''[[Heroes are Hard to Find]]'', and [[Stevie Nicks]] and [[Lindsey Buckingham]] of [[Buckingham Nicks]] joined the band. The line-up now contained two female lead vocalists who also wrote songs. McVie bonded instantly with Nicks and the two women found their voices blended perfectly.<ref name="Fleetwood1990" /> McVie wrote and sang lead on four tracks on the first studio album of the new line-up, ''[[Fleetwood Mac (1975 album)|Fleetwood Mac]]'' (1975): "[[Warm Ways]]", "[[Over My Head (Fleetwood Mac song)|Over My Head]]", "[[Say You Love Me (Fleetwood Mac song)|Say You Love Me]]" and "Sugar Daddy", and had a joint songwriting credit with Buckingham for "[[World Turning]]". The album produced several hit songs, with McVie's "Over My Head" and "Say You Love Me" both reaching the ''[[Billboard magazine|Billboard]]'' top-20 singles chart. "Over My Head" put Fleetwood Mac on American radio and into the national top 20.<ref>''Fleetwood Mac'', by Steve Clarke, Proteus Books, 1984, p. 92.</ref>

In 1976, McVie began an on-the-road affair with the band's lighting director, Curry Grant,<ref>{{cite magazine |url=http://bla.fleetwoodmac.net/index.php?page=index_v2&id=208&c=18 |title=Five Go Mad |magazine=Uncut Magazine |date=May 2003 |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110929143500/http://bla.fleetwoodmac.net/index.php?page=index_v2&id=208&c=18 |archive-date=29 September 2011}}</ref> which inspired her to write "[[You Make Loving Fun]]", a top-10 hit from their next album, ''[[Rumours (album)|Rumours]]'' (1977).<ref name="Furman">{{cite book |last=Furman |first=Leah |year=2003 |title=Rumours Exposed: The Unauthorized Biography of Fleetwood Mac |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=SW31aVVDc_AC&pg=PA133 |location=New York |publisher=Kensington |isbn=9780806524726 |pages=105–106, 133–34}}</ref> Her biggest hit from the album was "[[Don't Stop (Fleetwood Mac song)|Don't Stop]]", which reached the top five.{{sfn|Unterberger|2017|p=110}} ''Rumours'' also included McVie's "[[Songbird (Fleetwood Mac song)|Songbird]]", a slow ballad which featured McVie playing piano and Buckingham accompanying on acoustic guitar.{{sfn|Unterberger|2017|p=103}}

By the end of the ''Rumours'' tour, the McVies were divorced. Christine had a US top-20 hit with "[[Think About Me]]" from the 1979 double studio album ''[[Tusk (album)|Tusk]]'', which did not match the success of the ''Rumours'' album.<ref>{{cite magazine |url=http://bla.fleetwoodmac.net/index.php?page=index_v2&id=13&c=2 |first1=Mochael |last1=Cable  |via=The Blue Letter Archives |title=Mac's McVie: Rumours Fly About Fleetwood Mac's Christine McVie—And That's No Mirage |magazine=[[US Magazine]] |date=25 September 1982 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110929143523/http://bla.fleetwoodmac.net/index.php?page=index_v2&id=13&c=2 |archive-date=29 September 2011 }}</ref> After the ''Tusk'' tour  the band took time apart, reuniting in 1981 to record the studio album ''[[Mirage (Fleetwood Mac album)|Mirage]]'' at the [[Château d'Hérouville]]'s studio in France. ''Mirage'', released in 1982, returned the band to the top of the US charts and contained the top-five hit "[[Hold Me (Fleetwood Mac song)|Hold Me]]", co-written by McVie. McVie's inspiration for the song was her tortured relationship with [[the Beach Boys|Beach Boys]] drummer [[Dennis Wilson]].<ref>{{Cite book |last1=Fleetwood |first1=Mick |last2=Davis |first2=Stephen |year=1991 |title=My Life and Adventures in Fleetwood Mac |location=New York |publisher=Avon Books}}</ref> Her song "[[Love in Store]]" became the third single from the album in the United States, peaking at number 22 in early 1983.<ref>{{Cite magazine |title=Billboard Hot 100™ - Week of January 15, 1983 |url=https://www.billboard.com/charts/hot-100/1983-01-15/ |access-date=27 November 2024 |magazine=Billboard |language=en-US}}</ref>

McVie's second solo studio album, ''[[Christine McVie (album)|Christine McVie]]'', released in 1984, included the hits "[[Got a Hold on Me]]" (number 10 US pop, number one [[adult contemporary]] and number one [[Mainstream Rock (chart)|Mainstream Rock Tracks]]) and "[[Love Will Show Us How]]" (number 30 US pop). A third single, "I'm the One", was released but did not chart. McVie said of the album, "Maybe it isn't the most adventurous album in the world, but I wanted to be honest and please my own ears with it."<ref name=Connelly>{{Cite magazine |last=Connelly |first=Christopher |date=7 June 1984 |title=From British Blues with Chicken Shack to Soft Rock with Fleetwood Mac: Christine McVie Keeps a Level Head after Two Decades in the Fast Lane |url=https://www.rollingstone.com/music/music-news/christine-mcvie-keeps-a-level-head-after-two-decades-in-the-fastlane-189459/ |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110720172834/http://bla.fleetwoodmac.net/index.php?page=index_v2&id=1046&c=2 |archive-date=20 July 2011 |magazine=Rolling Stone |language=en-US |access-date=1 December 2022}}</ref>

McVie married keyboardist [[:pt:Eddy_Quintela|Eddy Quintela]] on 18 October 1986 and they co-wrote songs which featured on subsequent Fleetwood Mac albums. She rejoined Fleetwood Mac in 1987 to record the ''[[Tango in the Night]]'' studio album, which became the band's biggest success since ''Rumours'' and reached the top five in the UK and US. McVie's "[[Little Lies]]", co-written with Quintela, was the biggest hit from the album. Another McVie single from the album, "[[Everywhere (Fleetwood Mac song)|Everywhere]]", reached number four in the UK, the band's third-highest UK chart peak. The single peaked at number 14 in the U.S.<ref>{{Cite book |last=Roberts |first=David |year=2006 |title=British Hit Singles & Albums |location=London |publisher=Guinness World Records Limited}}</ref> In 1990, the band (now without Buckingham) recorded ''[[Behind the Mask (album)|Behind the Mask]]'', which reached Gold status in the US<ref>Recording Industry Association of America sales figures.

McVie's father, Cyril Perfect, died in 1990 while she was on the ''Behind the Mask'' tour and she decided to retire from touring.<ref name="ReferenceA">Mick Fleetwood autobiography, "Play On", 2014</ref> She remained with the band and wrote and recorded a new track, "[[Love Shines (song)|Love Shines]]", for the 1992 box set ''[[25 Years – The Chain]]'', and five songs for the 1995 studio album ''[[Time (Fleetwood Mac album)|Time]]''. Nicks had by now departed. In the mid-90s, Fleetwood and John McVie worked with Buckingham on one of his solo projects and Christine McVie provided vocals and keyboards on some of the tracks. A reunion was proposed, Nicks rejoined the band, and Fleetwood Mac recorded the 1997 live album, ''[[The Dance (Fleetwood Mac album)|The Dance]]'', which reached number one on the US album charts.<ref name=":1" /> 
McVie returned to touring and performed for the group's 1998 induction into the [[Rock and Roll Hall of Fame]], as well as the [[Grammy Awards]] show and the [[Brit Awards]] in the UK. She decided not to continue with Fleetwood Mac after 1998 and said this was because she had developed a [[phobia]] about flying.<ref name="ReferenceA"/>

In August 2016, Mick Fleetwood said that while the band had "a huge amount of recorded music", virtually none of it featured Stevie Nicks. Buckingham and McVie, however, have contributed numerous songs to the new project. Fleetwood told Ultimate Classic Rock, "She [McVie] ... wrote up a storm ... She and Lindsey could probably have a mighty strong duet album if they want. In truth, I hope it will come to more than that. There really are dozens of songs. And they're really good.
