The album has been on the Official Albums chart for a staggering 350 weeks[1], and currently sits at No. 7[4]. The popularity of the album can be attributed to hits like "Don't Stop", "Go Your Own Way", "Landslide", "Tusk", and "Gypsy", among others[7].
The success of "50 Years - Don't Stop" on the streaming front is evident, as it is also at No. 4 on the Official Album Streaming chart[1]. Meanwhile, another Fleetwood Mac compilation, "Greatest Hits", has re-entered the Official Album Downloads chart at No. 78[4].
