Say You Will is the 17th studio album by British-American rock band Fleetwood Mac, released on April 15, 2003. It followed 1995’s Time and was their first album without vocalist/keyboardist Christine McVie, who had left the band in 1998 (although she made some brief appearances on it). Lindsey Buckingham took over primary keyboard duties for the album and Stevie Nicks added some limited additional keyboard parts.
The album would also be the band’s final album with Buckingham, who was told to leave Fleetwood Mac in 2018, although he would participate in their online-only release, 2013’s Extended Play.
Say You Will was the first studio Fleetwood Mac album to peak in the top 3 in the US since 1982’s Mirage. The album debuted at No. 3 with sales of 218,000, spent two months within the top 40, and was certified Gold by the RIAA in July 2003 for 500,000 copies shipped in the US.
A limited edition version of the album was issued at the same time, featuring two live tracks (“Peacekeeper” and “Say You Will”), two additional studio tracks (Nicks’ “Not Make Believe” and Buckingham’s cover of Bob Dylan’s “Love Minus Zero/No Limit”), an expanded booklet and poster.
