Her solo career was over in 1994, when Street Angel couldn’t even go Gold and TimeSpace greatest barely made it to a Gold. The Dance which occurred in 1997 saved her career.

Sadly, she still had the most respectable sales numbers of the lot. SA sold more than OOTC and “Time” combined.
They all needed the boost from “The Dance.” Given the changes at the label, I don’t know if any of them were viable enough to remain on a label if not for the reunion.
And, kudos to Stevie on building her brand and image after the 1997 makeover. She played her cards brilliantly.
