Yes, it is a very well known song that still gets plenty of spins on AC and Classic Rock format radio stations. Back in the day when CHR radio wasn't about "radio deals" and "pay for play" often times Dj's would play the "B" sides of singles because either they really liked the song or the demand was there from request or record sales, or the program director fancied the song.
Today the state of Top 40 radio is so corrupt and only "pushed" singles get any airplay. The only way you would hear a "B" side track or deep cut today on CHR is if they were broadcasting a live concert event.
As for your statement, the casual listener would probably consider most of the Rumours Album to contain hit songs. Even though there was just shy of a handful of singles, many of the songs found their way to radio. In fact, at one point or another I think I've heard every single song from the album either studio cut or live track played on radio. That is pretty impressive.
