rumours 45,521 Posted December 28, 2017 Share Posted December 28, 2017 Hi Everyone! Welcome to my second Megarate. Based on the album that received the highest percentage of votes from a previous thread, the album we will be rating is Rumours by Fleetwood Mac! The following is a little background about the Album itself: Spoiler "Rumours is the eleventh studio album by British-American rock band Fleetwood Mac. Largely recorded in California during 1976, it was produced by the band with Ken Caillat and Richard Dashut and was released on 4 February 1977 by Warner Bros. Records. The record reached the top of both the United States Billboard chart and the United Kingdom Albums Chart. The songs "Go Your Own Way", "Dreams", "Don't Stop", and "You Make Loving Fun" were released as singles. Rumours is Fleetwood Mac's most successful release; along with winning the Grammy Award for Album of the Year in 1978, the album has sold over 40 million copies worldwide, making it one of the best-selling albums of all time. Rumours has received diamond certifications in several countries, including the US, Canada, and Australia." "As of 2013, sales were over 40 million copies. As of May 2016, Rumours has spent 630 weeks in the UK Top 75 album chart and is the 11th best-selling album in UK history and is certified 11× platinum by the British Phonographic Industry, the equivalent of 3.3 million units shipped. The record has received a Diamond Award from the Recording Industry Association of America for a 20× platinum certification or 20 million units shipped, making it, as of 2012, the sixth best-selling album in US history (by number of units shipped)." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rumours_(album) In general, here are the Criteria for participating the Megarate 1) Re-listen to album 2) Rate each track on a scale of 1-10 and your favorite an 11.
