Mystery to Me is the eighth studio album by British-American rock band Fleetwood Mac, released on October 15, 1973. This was their last album to feature Bob Weston. Most of the songs were penned by guitarist/singer Bob Welch and keyboardist/singer Christine McVie, who were instrumental in steering the band toward the radio-friendly pop rock that would make them successful a few years later.
Mystery to Me sold moderately well, peaking at number 67 on the US Billboard 200 chart dated December 22 1973. Despite not being a hit single, the song “Hypnotized” became an American FM radio staple for many years. In the wake of the Buckingham/Nicks-led line-up’s success a few years later, the album was certified gold by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) in 1976.
