More Fleetwood Mac More Fleetwood Mac


Fleetwood Mac's classic Dreams is celebrating its highest-ever position on the Australian charts thanks to a viral TikTok video. 

If you're not familiar with the clip, Nathan Apodaca (who goes by the handle @420doggface208) uploaded a video of himself skating down a freeway and singing along to the Fleetwood Mac 1977 hit while drinking from a bottle of Ocean Spray. 

The video went viral soon after uploading to TikTok and has now had nearly 60 million views on the platform alone, as well as appearing on other social media platforms. 

In the time since, the video has been copied all over social media as well as Fleetwood Mac's Mick Fleetwood and Stevie Nicks also sharing their own takes.

Additionally, the track's album, Rumors, has also moved up the ARIA Albums Chart to #11.
