WHAT IS “RUMOURS”?

Fleetwood Mac’s 1977 album “Rumours” proved to be not just a classic album for the group, but one of the best-selling of all time, with over 40 million copies sold worldwide. It was the group’s first No. 1 album in the UK. Four songs were released as singles: “Go Your Own Way”, “Dreams”, “Don’t Stop”, and “You Make Loving Fun”. They all were in the Top 10 in the USA. “Dreams” hit No. 1. In Stevie Nicks’ memoir “Visions, Dreams and Rumours”, it says of the title: “Whether flirtatious, confessional or downright confrontational, everyone’s songs together simply sounded ‘like a bunch of rumours’, as John McVie [the band’s bass player] noted. It was the perfect title, and it also wryly referred to the flurry of sensationalist gossip about them in the music business and the press….”
