'Mirage'

Mirage is the 13th studio album by Fleetwood Mac, originally released on June 18, 1982. The album’s soft rock sound stood in stark contrast to its more experimental predecessor, 1979's TuskMirage yielded several hit singles: Hold Me (which peaked at #4 on the US Billboard Pop Chart, remaining there for seven weeks), Gypsy (#12 US Pop Chart), Love in Store (#22 US Pop Chart), Oh Diane (which reached #9 in the UK), and Can't Go Back.

The album returned the group to the top of the US Billboard charts for the first time since their 1977 album Rumours, spending five weeks at #1. It spent a total of 18 weeks in the US Top Ten and was certified double platinum. It also reached #5 in the UK where it was certified platinum and peaked at #2 in Australia (2x Platinum), #4 in Canada (Platinum), #11 in France (Gold) & #12 in Germany (Gold).
