Summary
- Fleetwood Mac's 'Landslide' charted on Billboard Hot 100 post-Stranger Things finale.

Fleetwood Mac's enduring hit "Landslide" has made a historic debut on the Billboard Hot 100, a remarkable feat for a song released in 1975. This surge in popularity is directly attributed to its impactful placement in the series finale of Netflix's "Stranger Things," which aired on December 31st.
The original recording of the song, a signature piece for Stevie Nicks and Lindsey Buckingham, had never charted on the Billboard Hot 100. While a live version reached No. 51 in 1997, the studio track's chart debut is a testament to its lasting appeal, boosted by 7 million streams and paid downloads.
"Landslide" previously achieved significant chart success in 2003 with The Chicks' cover, which reached No. 7 on the Billboard Hot 100. Nicks herself reflected on the song's themes of aging and future reflection, originally penned in 1973.
