The first single usually gets the bigger push from the label and radio.
"Tusk" could have been propelled to the Top 10 by the fact that it was the "brand new single from Fleetwood Mac's upcoming album."

The label and the radio can push all they want, but if people don't like something, they aren't gonna buy it. There have been plenty of "brand new single's from [popular band's] upcoming album" that haven't done well.
"Tusk" hit #8 and was on the charts for 15 weeks. That wasn't just because of good promotion.
