The long-out-of-print self-titled album from Buckingham Nicks debuts at No. 3 on Top Album Sales with 30,000 copies sold in the United States in the week ending Sept. 25, according to Luminate.

Buckingham Nicks also arrives on Top Rock Albums, Indie Store Album Sales, Catalog Albums (No. 1 on each); Top Rock & Alternative Albums, Vinyl Albums (No. 2); and the Billboard 200 (No. 11).

Originally issued through Polydor, Buckingham Nicks has been out of circulation (though widely bootlegged) until its official remastered Rhino reissue on Sept. 19. The project also made its official debut on CD, streaming services and as a digital download through Rhino, alongside a number of vinyl variants.

Upon the album’s reissue, Buckingham and Nicks shared on their respective Instagram accounts: “We’re so happy this album is getting a second life. We hope you love it.”

With 30,000 sold, Buckingham Nicks tallies the biggest sales week in over a decade for any album by Buckingham, Nicks or Fleetwood Mac. The last time a set from any of those acts had a larger sales week was on the Top Album Sales chart dated Oct. 25, 2014, when Nicks’ 24 Karat Gold: Songs From the Vault, sold 33,000 copies in its opening week (No. 7).

Further, with 18,000 copies sold on vinyl, the album notches the largest sales week in the format in the modern era (since Luminate began electronically tracking sales in 1991) for any project by Buckingham, Nicks or Fleetwood Mac.
