Fleetwood Mac Makes History with 'Landslide's' Hot 100 Debut After a 20-Year Hiatus
A sync in the fifth season of Stranger Things has catapulted Fleetwood Mac's classic hit "Landslide" onto the Billboard charts, marking its first appearance on the coveted Hot 100 tally after two decades. The song opened at No. 41 this week, narrowly missing out on reaching the top 40.
The move not only marks a significant milestone for Fleetwood Mac but also underscores the enduring appeal of the band's music. "Landslide," which was initially released in 1975, has become an iconic anthem that continues to resonate with new generations of fans. Its inclusion on the Hot 100 has cemented its status as one of the most beloved and enduring songs of all time.
Fleetwood Mac's Hot 100 success streak continues, with "Landslide" joining a select group of tracks that have achieved this feat. The band has been charting hits for over half a century, with first appearances on the Billboard charts dating back to 1970. This milestone serves as a testament to their lasting impact on popular music.
Interestingly, "Landslide's" original release did not receive significant attention from the Hot 100, despite being included in Fleetwood Mac's seminal album of the same name. However, it was a live version of the song that beat its studio counterpart to the charts in 1998. The initial rendition peaked at No. 51 on the Billboard Hot Rock Songs chart.
The success of "Landslide" extends beyond its debut on the Hot 100. The song has also debuted on the Streaming Songs and Billboard Global 200 charts, marking Fleetwood Mac's second smash on these lists. In terms of peak position, "Landslide" sits between the band's other popular tracks, including "Dreams" and "The Chain," which have spent months on both charts.
Fleetwood Mac's continued relevance and enduring popularity are a welcome sight for fans, who can now appreciate the timeless beauty of "Landslide" alongside their existing collection of hits.

. First, it's Stranger Things, now it's Fleetwood Mac... what's next? They're probably gonna make some other classic song go viral too, and we'll all be eating out of their hands 
. And don't even get me started on the timing... 20 years after "Landslide" was originally released, just like the 5th season of Stranger Things is coming out... it's like they're trying to create some kind of mind control phenomenon 
. I'm not buying it, folks!
it's crazy how this song is still making history 20 years after its initial release i mean, who would've thought that a live version of it would beat the studio version to the charts? 
and now it's charting on the Hot 100?! that's just mind-blowing... I feel like we're living in a dream where music never dies 
after all these years... i remember listening to their album 'rumours' in my teens and just being obsessed with stevie nicks' voice 
she was like a mystical goddess or something! anyway, "landslide" is such an iconic song it's crazy how it's still resonating with new gen fans after all these years... it's like the song is saying something that never gets old 
does anyone else remember listening to this song on their boombox and just driving around feeling like they were flying? those were the days 
Oh man, I'm not surprised Fleetwood Mac is still killing it after all these years! I mean, 20-year hiatus from the Hot 100 and they just casually drop "Landslide" like it's yesterday 
. It's like they say, 'the truth will set you free'... but in this case, it'll also get you on the Billboard charts 
! I'm loving every minute of this nostalgic trip back to the 70s. Who knew a song from 1975 could still be so relevant? Maybe it's because it's like the musical equivalent of pizza – even after all these years, it's still cheesy and amazing 
i mean its not every day you see an old song like that get new love after all these years... and its awesome for fleetwood mac to be getting this recognition again 
they've been making music for ages and it's amazing how some songs just keep on going strong 
. It's actually kinda cool that it needed something from Stranger Things to get a push back onto the charts after all these years. I think this is a great reminder that art can have a timeless quality to it - we just need to give it another chance sometimes. And let's be real, 20 years is a pretty long time to wait for a classic song like 'Landslide' to get some love again 
. It just goes to show that even when we think something is old news, there's always a way to bring it back and share it with new people 
.
. It's like they're trying to make up for lost time or something. And 41 on the Hot 100? Not shabby. But honestly, who didn't know "Landslide" was a classic from the moment it came out in '75? 
Still nice to see it getting some new fans though! Maybe they can finally get that Grammy they've been missing out on for decades 
. 20 years after its initial release, "Landslide" is still giving us chills and reminding us of the power of music to evoke emotions and create memories 
. The fact that it only just made the Hot 100 after all these years is just proof that their popularity has come from being somewhat of an embarrassment... people are embarrassed to admit they liked them, so now they're trying to capitalize on nostalgia. But hey, who am I kidding? It's not like anyone really needs another Fleetwood Mac song 
. I mean, who wouldn't want to hear Stevie Nicks' mystical vibes on repeat for the next billion times? 
. I guess you could say Fleetwood Mac is proof that some things never really fade away... unless you're trying to find your car in a crowded parking lot 
. Anyway, "Landslide" is still as cheesy as ever but hey, who needs subtlety in songwriting when you can have grandiose, sweeping orchestras? And isn't it cool that the band's relevance has been rekindled thanks to some 80s nostalgia and a popular TV show 
.
It's like, what even is music if we can't still vibe with this song in 2025?! 
I mean, it just goes to show how timeless and iconic this song truly is... and Fleetwood Mac as a whole! They're like the ultimate legends 
their music is timeless and i'm so here for it
