Glee to base an episode around a classic album

GLEE creator Ryan Murphy told reporters last night in Los Angeles that the plan in the near future is to center an episode around Fleetwood Mac’s 1977 album Rumours. Murphy says the show’s creators have long wanted to do an episode devoted to an album as opposed to an artist, and their wish has come true: Glee has been granted the rights to Fleetwood Mac’s legendary album Rumours so that episode is in the works.

Rumours is Fleetwood Mac's biggest selling album to date, with over 40 million copies sold. Famously written and recorded during the breakups of the romantic relationships that powered the group, it spawned a multitude of hits such "Go Your Own Way," "Gold Dust Woman," "You Make Loving Fun," "Don't Stop," and "Dreams." The record held the number one spot in the US for 31 weeks and took home the 1977 Grammy for Album of the Year. As members of Fleetwood Mac, the Rumours lineup (Stevie Nicks, Lindsey Buckingham, John McVie, Christine McVie, and Mick Fleetwood) were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1997.
