Praise centred on its production quality and harmonies, which frequently relied on the interplay among three vocalists. Rumours garnered widespread critical acclaim. Following the album’s release in 1977, Fleetwood Mac undertook worldwide promotional tours. The mixing process delayed the completion of Rumours, but was finished by the end of 1976. Influenced by pop music, the record’s tracks were recorded using a combination of acoustic and electric instruments. The Rumours studio sessions were marked by hedonistic behaviour and interpersonal strife between Fleetwood Mac members these experiences informed the album’s lyrics. The band wanted to expand on the commercial success of the 1975 record Fleetwood Mac, but struggled with relationship breakups before recording started.
A Grammy Award winner, Rumours is Fleetwood Mac’s most successful release with sales of over 40 million copies worldwide. “Go Your Own Way”, “Don’t Stop”, “Dreams”, and “You Make Loving Fun” were released as singles. The record peaked at the top of both the main United States Billboard chart and the United Kingdom Albums Chart.
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. Rumours is the eleventh studio album by British-American rock band Fleetwood Mac.
