1982 single by Fleetwood Mac
"Oh Diane" is a song by British-American rock group Fleetwood Mac. It was written by guitarist Lindsey Buckingham and Richard Dashut for the 1982 album Mirage, the fourth album by the band with Lindsey Buckingham. Buckingham wrote the song while the band was recording in Hérouville.[3]
Background
Despite the previous two singles from the album ("Hold Me" and "Gypsy") being unsuccessful in the United Kingdom, the song became a hit there when released in December 1982. It charted at number 69 on 18 December 1982 and took 10 weeks to gradually climb the chart, peaking at number 9 in February 1983, helping to push its parent album Mirage into the Top 10.[4][5] The song took on special meaning in the UK as it was just the previous year that Prince Charles and Princess Diana had married.[6]
The sleeve for "Oh Diane" saw the band return to using the penguin trademark in a nod to the band`s earlier years; their 1973 album was called Penguin.[7] "Oh Diane" was released in Britain on 7" and 12" and also as a 7" picture disc of the penguin design.
In the US, another track from Mirage, "Love in Store", was released as the third single instead and reached number 22 on the Billboard Hot 100.[8] "Oh Diane" was therefore the fourth single issued in the US; it was released in February 1983, but failed to chart. However, it did become a minor hit on the American Adult Contemporary chart, peaking at number 35. Despite being a Top 10 hit in the UK, "Oh Diane" does not appear on the 2002 UK version of the album, The Very Best of Fleetwood Mac (or the 2009 re-issue), although it was included on 2018`s 50 Years – Don`t Stop.[9]

In the UK, "Oh Diane" was released as the band`s first 12” single featuring the additional b-side track "The Chain" from the 1977 album Rumours.
