'''''Rumours''''' is the eleventh studio [[album]] by the British-American [[rock music|rock]] band [[Fleetwood Mac]], released on 4 February 1977 in the United States and on 11 February 1977 in the United Kingdom<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.bpi.co.uk/brit-certified|title=BPI; search Fleetwood Mac}}</ref> by [[Warner Bros. Records]]. Largely recorded in California in 1976, it was produced by the band with [[Ken Caillat]] and [[Richard Dashut]]. The recording sessions took place as the band members dealt with breakups and struggled with heavy drug usage, both of which shaped the album's direction and lyrics.
 
Recorded with the intention of making "a [[pop music|pop]] album" that would expand on the commercial success of the 1975 album ''[[Fleetwood Mac (1975 album)|Fleetwood Mac]]'', the music of ''Rumours'' contains a mix of electric and acoustic instrumentation, [[accent (music)|accented]] rhythms, guitars, and keyboards; its lyrics concern personal and often troubled relationships. Its release was postponed by delays in the [[audio mixing|mixing]] process. The band promoted the album with a worldwide concert tour. ''Rumours'' became the band's first number-one album on the [[UK Albums Chart]] and also topped the US [[Billboard 200|''Billboard'' 200]]. The songs "[[Go Your Own Way]]", "[[Dreams (Fleetwood Mac song)|Dreams]]", "[[Don't Stop (Fleetwood Mac song)|Don't Stop]]", and "[[You Make Loving Fun]]" were released as [[single (music)|singles]], all of which reached the US Top 10, with "Dreams" reaching number one.
