A massive success seemingly conjured overnight, Fleetwood Mac glides to centerstage by the mid-70s with hits like "Landslide” and "Rhiannon" but today's moment in music history reminds us that such success was rarely quite so effortless as the enchanting Stevie Nicks (@stevienicks) might’ve made it look at times. In one of the most impressively laborious climbs in music history, the 1975 release of the band’s second eponymously-titled studio album not only benchmarks the arrival of newcomers Lindsey Buckingham (@lindseybuckingham) and Stevie Nicks (@stevienicks), but also a full year’s climb before finally peaking at No. 1 on September 4th, 1976, earning the group its first of three chart-topping albums. Moreover, the anniversary touches on a winning dynamic that has proven nothing short of spellbinding over the past 46 years and counting. More than a half-century since the initial formation of the widely-storied Fleetwood Mac, the beat goes on today in spite of itself as we celebrate the lasting prowess of truly profound artistry and all slings and arrows endured along the way. — Ph.
