Four official singles were released from Fleetwood Mac’s Rumours: “Go Your Own Way,” “Dreams,” “Don’t Stop,” and “You Make Loving Fun.”
The singles were issued across 1976 and 1977. “Go Your Own Way” appeared as a promotional single before the album’s February 1977 release, while “Dreams,” “Don’t Stop,” and “You Make Loving Fun” followed in different markets. This staggered rollout helped keep the album in the public eye for more than a year.
All four songs became major US hits, reaching the top 10 of the Billboard Hot 100. “Dreams,” written and sung by Stevie Nicks, went further and became Fleetwood Mac’s only US Billboard Hot 100 number-one single. The other three songs represented the album’s distinctive balance of songwriting voices: Lindsey Buckingham, Christine McVie, and Nicks.
Listeners sometimes count album tracks such as “The Chain,” “Gold Dust Woman,” or “Second Hand News” because they received substantial radio play. They were not part of the album’s official four-single campaign. Later reissues also added material such as “Silver Springs,” but those releases do not change the original single count.
