Fleetwood Mac have sold more than how many records worldwide?

The story behind the answer

Fleetwood Mac have sold more than 120 million records worldwide.

That figure places the band among the best-selling musical acts in recording history. It reflects the combined worldwide success of their albums, singles, compilations and other recorded releases across several eras, rather than sales from one particular album.

The band began as a British blues group in London in 1967, led by guitarist Peter Green and built around drummer Mick Fleetwood and bassist John McVie. Their commercial profile changed dramatically after Lindsey Buckingham and Stevie Nicks joined in 1974. The 1975 album Fleetwood Mac and 1977's Rumours became international blockbusters, with Rumours eventually selling tens of millions of copies.

A common mix-up is confusing the band's total sales with the sales of Rumours alone. Rumours is one of the world's best-selling albums, but the 120-million-plus figure refers to Fleetwood Mac's overall recorded output. Sales totals can vary slightly by source and counting method, but 120 million is the established canonical answer used in the question.
