Fleetwood Mac’s “Dream” Blows Up Because Of TikTok Skateboarder Video

Fleetwood Mac once resurfaces to the mainstream – all thanks to the unknowing video clip of TikTok user and skateboarder 420doggface208 that went viral. The said video used the band’s 1977 hit “Dreams” as its background music, with the skateboarder singing along Stevie Nicks’ vocals while casually going down the highway and sipping on Cran-Raspberry juice.

This also meant sales and streams of the song being boosted like crazy. In just three days – spanning Sept. 25 to 27 – “Dreams” hit 2.9 million on-demand US streams and 3000 in digital download sales, spiking to 88.7% and 374%, respectively, from their totals in the prior three-day period, according to data by Nielsen Music/MRC Data (via Billboard). “Dreams” also rose to no. 54 on Spotify’s US Daily Chart on Sept. 27.
