Rumours was an instant commercial success, selling over 10 million copies worldwide within just a month of its release. The songs " Go Your Own Way", " Dreams", " Don't Stop", and " You Make Loving Fun" were released as singles, all of which reached the US top 10, with "Dreams" reaching number one. Rumours became the band's first number-one album on the UK Albums Chart and also topped the US Billboard 200. Following the album's release, Fleetwood Mac undertook worldwide promotional tours. The album was postponed by delays in the mixing process. Recorded with the intention of making "a pop album", the album's music included considerable pop rock sounds, characterized by accented rhythms and electric keyboards such as the Fender Rhodes and Hammond B3 organ. The group recorded the album in the aftermath of relationship breakups among its members and heavy drug use, both of which shaped the album's lyrics. The band wanted to expand on the commercial success of their self-titled 1975 album. Largely recorded in California in 1976, it was produced by the band with Ken Caillat and Richard Dashut. Rumours is the eleventh studio album by British-American rock band Fleetwood Mac, released on 4 February 1977 by Warner Bros.
