Most of the songs on the album deal with personal tensions within the group. Rumours won a 1978 Grammy award for Album of the Year, and spent 31 weeks at the top of the Billboard Music Charts, in spite of critical panning for perceived pandering to mainstream tastes. By 1998 the album had sold more than 18 million copies in the United States alone and was certified by the Recording Industry Association of America as the third highest selling single-disc album in history.
