I believe rather than think about what we perceived as hits, we have to come to understand that past radio airplay or single release does not necessarily correlate with long term sustainability or popularity.
I think the Chain is pretty darn high. 5th most streamed song, 3rd highest song from Rumours. Tango in the Night is a streaming animal onto itself and obviously found itself a international niche and probably a younger demo than Tusk and Mirage within the modern streaming consumer base. Tusk and Mirage combined total of streams are 177 million. Tango is 317 million on its own. Also what stood out to me is the Rumours era streaming volume by writer is not as heavily skewed towards Stevie as I thought. 39% Stevie, 32% Lindsey, 29% Christine. Obviously Stevie has a much greater solo volume than the others, that is indisputable. However, it does lead me to believe that Lindsey's rights sale had significantly more value than I initially perceived, especially when artist, writer, and producer royalties are included.

it is interesting, Tango has influenced a whole new generation of younger groups and performers too, and the streaming data backs it up. Rumoures era streaming - guess that just shows what we know - Stevie is the face but her output doesn't match her oversized front woman persona.

Speaking of streaming - I made a playlist in order of the top 20 streaming songs. Pretty good ebb and flow. Energy is good. Lots of Rumours tracks, but all the Rumours albums are represented.
Go Your Own Way 258,518,000 Dreams 188,229,000 Everywhere 154,221,000 Landslide 138,103,000 The Chain 121,974,000 Rhiannon 91,538,000 Never Goin Back Again 78,637,000 Little Lies 76,257,000 Don't Stop 60,889,000 Gypsy 50,655,000 Second Hand News 48,942,000 You Make Loving Fun 43,949,000 Songbird 41,966,000 Gold Dust Woman 33,655,000 Seven Wonders 33,087,000 Sara 24,872,000 Tusk 24,462,000 Big Love 24,454,000 Silver Springs 22,393,000 Oh Daddy 20,052,000 |

I really enjoy that little 20 song playlist constructed 1-20. Its not a playlist I would have ever thought of creating with those specific songs and certainly in that order, but it works.
Only real jarring moment is when you go from the basic acoustic Travis pick and overlapping back strum of Never Going Back Again into the layers of DX7s, Fairlights, and guitar synths that is Little Lies. I enjoy them both, but that is a range of aural inputs between the two tracks. |
