Landslide and GYOW are getting pretty close to Don’t Stop, but I’d say Christines songs are still in the lead.
Rhiannon live made SN and FM stars back in the mid 70s but most people don’t know that song now.

About Rhiannon I agree. At least here, in Peru, it is not played at the 70s&80s rock&pop radios.

i'm talking about 2 separate things - number of hits that charted high - among first 5 first 10 and first 20 on Billboard singles charts and in other countries; and then separately about the songs that EVERYBODY knows
now. not FM fans, but general masses, the old and the young. after Clinton resurrected Don't Stop it never went away and stayed huge through now.
Landslide never charted nor was FM single but Dixie Chicks version did, they brought it back and it grew to a cult status now. GYOW charted high, was used in one of the first guitar video games and retained FM cult status at both their shows and as various covers.
