'''''Fleetwood Mac''''' is the tenth studio album by the British-American rock band [[Fleetwood Mac]], released on 11 July 1975 in the United States and on 1 August 1975 in the United Kingdom<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.bpi.co.uk/award/2305-1472-2|title=BPI}}</ref> by [[Reprise Records]]. It is the band's second eponymous album, the first being their [[Fleetwood Mac (1968 album)|1968 debut album]], and is sometimes referred to by fans as '''the White Album'''.<ref>{{cite magazine |first= Holly |last= Gleason |title= The 20 Best Fleetwood Mac Songs of All Time |magazine= [[Paste (magazine)|Paste]] |date= 29 May 2014 |access-date= 30 March 2015 |url= http://www.pastemagazine.com/blogs/lists/2014/05/the-20-best-fleetwood-mac-songs-of-all-time.html |archive-date= 15 May 2019 |archive-url= https://web.archive.org/web/20190515033547/https://www.pastemagazine.com/blogs/lists/2014/05/the-20-best-fleetwood-mac-songs-of-all-time.html |url-status= dead }}</ref> It is the first Fleetwood Mac album with [[Lindsey Buckingham]] as guitarist and [[Stevie Nicks]] as a vocalist, after [[Bob Welch (musician)|Bob Welch]] departed the band in late 1974. It is also the band's last album to be released on the [[Reprise Records|Reprise]] label until 1997's ''[[The Dance (Fleetwood Mac album)|The Dance]]''; the band's subsequent albums until then were released through [[Warner Bros. Records]], Reprise's parent company.

The album peaked at number one on the US [[Billboard 200|''Billboard'' 200]] chart on 4 September 1976, 58 weeks after entering the chart,<ref name="BB200"/> and spawned three top-twenty singles: "[[Over My Head (Fleetwood Mac song)|Over My Head]]", "[[Rhiannon (song)|Rhiannon]]", and "[[Say You Love Me (Fleetwood Mac song)|Say You Love Me]]", the last two falling just short of the top ten, both at number 11. It has been certified [[RIAA Certification|7× platinum]] by the [[Recording Industry Association of America]] (RIAA) for sales of over seven million copies in the United States.<ref name="RIAA"/> Peaking at number 23 on the [[UK Albums Chart]],{{sfn|Roberts|2006|p=205}} it was the start of a run of hugely successful albums for the band in Britain, with six number ones, ''Fleetwood Mac'' being followed by ''[[Rumours (album)|Rumours]]'' (1977), ''[[Tusk (album)|Tusk]]'' (1979), ''[[Mirage (Fleetwood Mac album)|Mirage]]'' (1982), ''[[Tango in the Night]]'' (1987), and ''[[Behind the Mask (album)|Behind the Mask]]'' (1990).{{sfn|Strong|2003}}

==Background==
In 1974, Fleetwood Mac relocated from England to California to manage the band's affairs better.<ref name="Serpick">{{cite magazine|first= Evan |last= Serpick |title= Fleetwood Mac Biography |magazine= [[Rolling Stone]] |access-date= 10 April 2015 |url= https://www.rollingstone.com/music/artists/fleetwood-mac/biography}}</ref> In California, they recorded an album, ''[[Heroes Are Hard to Find]]'', and set out on tour. Shortly after finishing the tour, [[Bob Welch (musician)|Bob Welch]] (guitarist, singer, and composer) left the band, ending Fleetwood Mac's ninth lineup in eight years,<ref name="Williamson">{{cite magazine|first= Nigel |last= Williamson |title= Fleetwood Mac: 'Everybody was pretty weirded out' – the story of Rumours |magazine= [[Uncut (magazine)|Uncut]] |date= 29 January 2013 |access-date= 10 April 2015 |url= http://www.uncut.co.uk/features/fleetwood-mac-everybody-was-pretty-weirded-out-the-story-of-rumours-26395}}</ref> to form the band [[Paris (band)|Paris]].<ref name="Serpick"/>

Prior to Welch's departure, [[Mick Fleetwood]] met with producer [[Keith Olsen]] at [[Sound City Studios]] to listen to some demos.<ref name="Serpick"/><ref name="Williamson"/> There, Olsen played Fleetwood an album he had recently engineered, titled ''[[Buckingham Nicks]]''.<ref name="Serpick"/> Fleetwood particularly enjoyed the guitar solo on the song "Frozen Love",<ref name="Williamson"/> and decided to hire both Olsen and the guitarist, [[Lindsey Buckingham]].<ref name="Serpick"/> However, Buckingham would not accept Fleetwood's offer unless he agreed to also hire Buckingham's musical and romantic partner, [[Stevie Nicks]], even though they were close to breaking up. After an informal interview at a Mexican restaurant, Mick Fleetwood invited both Buckingham and Nicks to join the band, and this tenth lineup of the band proved to be its most successful. Within three months, the band had recorded the album ''Fleetwood Mac''.<ref name="Williamson"/>

During the recording sessions, bassist [[John McVie]] clashed with Buckingham over creative decisions made in the studio, particularly over some of the album's bass parts. McVie reminded Buckingham that "The band you're in is Fleetwood Mac. I'm the Mac. And I play the bass."<ref>{{cite news|first= David |last= Honingmann |title= The Life of a Song: Fleetwood Mac's the Chain |newspaper= [[The Financial Times]] |date= 9 January 2017 |access-date= 24 February 2017 |url= https://www.ft.com/content/a92b3436-d355-11e6-b06b-680c49b4b4c0 |archive-url=https://ghostarchive.org/archive/20221210/https://www.ft.com/content/a92b3436-d355-11e6-b06b-680c49b4b4c0 |archive-date=10 December 2022 |url-access=subscription |url-status=live}}</ref> Buckingham told ''[[Billboard (magazine)|Billboard]]'' that Christine McVie was more receptive to his creative input. <blockquote>"It was so clear that right away that Christine and I had this thing. She was just really looking for direction. She was open to me taking liberties with her songs. So early on, that was probably the first thing that hit me about being in Fleetwood Mac was being extremely aware that I had something to contribute to Christine’s songs as a producer and possibly as a co-writer."<ref>{{Cite magazine |last=Graff |first=Gary |date=11 January 2018|title=Fleetwood Mac Shares Early Version of 1975 Classic 'Monday Morning': Exclusive |url=https://www.billboard.com/music/rock/fleetwood-mac-monday-morning-early-take-8093899/ |access-date=23 December 2023|magazine=Billboard |language=en-US}}</ref></blockquote>

Many of the songs on ''Fleetwood Mac'' were written before Buckingham and Nicks joined the band. "[[Rhiannon (song)|Rhiannon]]", "[[I'm So Afraid]]", and "[[Monday Morning (Fleetwood Mac song)|Monday Morning]]" were written and performed live by the duo and were initially slated to appear on a second Buckingham Nicks album. "[[Crystal (Fleetwood Mac song)|Crystal]]" was recycled from the first Buckingham Nicks album, but with a different arrangement. Fleetwood praised these songs as "show stoppers, even as rough sketches recorded on Lindsey's four-track.{{sfn|Fleetwood|Bozza|2014|pp=164, 169}}

Like all of the band's studio albums, the front cover photo of ''Fleetwood Mac'' does not show the whole band,<ref>{{cite magazine|first= Joey |last= DeGroot |title= 7 Album Cover Photos Without the Entire Band: Fleetwood Mac, R.E.M., and more |magazine= Music Times |access-date= 13 April 2015 |url= http://www.musictimes.com/articles/6151/20140515/7-album-cover-photos-without-the-entire-band-fleetwood-mac-r-e-m-and-more.htm}}</ref> including, in this case, only drummer Mick Fleetwood (standing) and bass guitarist John McVie (kneeling).

''Fleetwood Mac'' was released on 11 July 1975.<ref name="Williamson"/><ref>{{cite web|first= Jeff |last= Giles |title= Revisiting Fleetwood Mac's 1975 Breakthrough Album |website= Ultimate Classic Rock |date= 11 July 2015 |access-date= 28 January 2019 |url= http://ultimateclassicrock.com/fleetwood-mac-fleetwood-mac-album/}}</ref> Though the band experienced only modest success immediately after the release, they were determined to promote their new album, and after touring for several months, they started to see the results of their hard work.<ref name="Williamson"/> In an interview with ''Uncut'', Stevie Nicks said of the album: "We just played everywhere and we sold that record. We kicked that album in the ass." 15 months after its release, ''Fleetwood Mac'' reached the top of the US charts.<ref name="Williamson"/> Following the release of the album, Olsen sued the band over alleged unpaid producer's [[royalty payment|royalties]].<ref>{{Cite magazine |date=20 August 1977 |title=Dead Stationmaster |url=https://www.worldradiohistory.com/UK/Melody-Maker/70s/77/Melody-Maker-1977-08-20.pdf |access-date=4 May 2025 |magazine=[[Melody Maker]] |page=35 |via=World Radio History}}</ref>

In 2003, the album was ranked number 183 on ''[[Rolling Stone]]'' Magazine's list of "[[Rolling Stone's 500 Greatest Albums of All Time|The 500 Greatest Albums of All Time]]",<ref>{{cite magazine|title= 500 Greatest Albums of All Time > 183: Fleetwood Mac, 'Fleetwood Mac' |magazine= Rolling Stone |access-date= 5 May 2025 |url= https://web.archive.org/web/20110902064930/http://www.rollingstone.com/music/lists/500-greatest-albums-of-all-time-19691231/fleetwood-mac-fleetwood-mac-19691231

===Singles===
All of the singles that derived from ''Fleetwood Mac'' used mixes of the songs different from those used on the album (and occasionally different takes, as in the case of "Over My Head"). A "single mix" was also created for "Blue Letter", and this mix was only available as the [[A-side and B-side|B-side]] of the "Warm Ways" single from 1975{{sfn|Strong|2003}} until it was included as a bonus track on the 2004 re-issue of the album (along with an instrumental called "Jam #2" and the single versions of "Say You Love Me", "Rhiannon (Will You Ever Win)", and "Over My Head").

In the US, the album spawned three top twenty singles: "[[Over My Head (Fleetwood Mac song)|Over My Head]]", "[[Rhiannon (song)|Rhiannon]]", and "[[Say You Love Me (Fleetwood Mac song)|Say You Love Me]]", the last two falling just short of the top ten, both at number 11. A version of "[[Landslide (Fleetwood Mac song)|Landslide]]" taken from the live reunion album ''[[The Dance (Fleetwood Mac album)|The Dance]]'' was released as a single in the US in 1998 and reached number 51 on the [[Billboard Hot 100|''Billboard'' Hot 100]].{{sfn|Strong|2003}}

In the UK, the album's first single was "[[Warm Ways]]",{{sfn|Strong|2003}} which was not released as a single in the US. Initially, the album generated limited interest in the UK, and the first three singles released by the new lineup failed to enter the [[UK Singles Chart]], while "[[Say You Love Me (Fleetwood Mac song)|Say You Love Me]]" reached number 40.{{sfn|Roberts|2006|p=205}} Following the massive success of ''[[Rumours (album)|Rumours]]'' two years later, however, interest in the band reignited, ''Fleetwood Mac'' was re-released in 1978, and a reissue of "[[Rhiannon (song)|Rhiannon]]" peaked at number 46.{{sfn|Strong|2003}}

==Commercial performance==
The album debuted at number 183 on the US [[Billboard 200|''Billboard'' 200]] chart dated 2 August 1975.<ref>{{cite magazine|title= Top LPs & Tapes |magazine= [[Billboard (magazine)|Billboard]] |date= 2 August 1975 |volume= 87 |issue= 31 |page= 64 |issn= 0006-2510 |url= https://worldradiohistory.com/Archive-Billboard/70s/1975/Billboard%201975-08-02.pdf}}</ref> It eventually reached its peak at number one on the chart dated 4 September 1976, which was 57 weeks after it had entered the chart.<ref name="BB200"/> On 11 September 2018, the album was certified [[RIAA Certification|seven times platinum]] by the [[Recording Industry Association of America]] (RIAA) for sales of over seven million copies in the United States.<ref name="RIAA"/>

In the UK, the album initially did not enter the charts and made its debut at number 49 on the [[UK Albums Chart]] dated 6 November 1976, well over a year after the album's release.<ref>{{cite web|title= Official Albums Chart Top 60: 31 October 1976 – 06 November 1976 |publisher= [[Official Charts Company]] |access-date= 4 July 2020 |url= https://www.officialcharts.com/charts/albums-chart/19761031/7502/}}</ref> It peaked at number 23 its second week on the chart.<ref name="UK"/> On 5 July 1978, the album was certified gold by the [[British Phonographic Industry]] (BPI) for sales of over 100,000 copies in the UK.<ref name="CertUK"/>
