And let's face it, FM has always been in second place behind the Eagles.
The LROOE album did much better than SYW. I’m sure How Long charted lower than Peacekeeper.

As far as concert draw, I think FM became as hot a concert ticket as Eagles in 2014 because of Christine.

The 2013 FM Tour sold out everywhere too but Eagles did multiple nights in cities on the History of the Eagles Tour which was intended to be their final tour according to DH. FM did like 3 nights in NYC area and 2 in LA whereas Eagles did like 7 in NYC area and countless shows in LA!!!

Well, I think it depends on WHICH chart you're looking at.

Say You Will song reached N.7 in US Adult Alternative Songs. Wikipedia doesn't mention its position in Billboard general chart.

Billboard is a fine reference to measure popularity, but mostly in the USA. I think this century albums of Eagles and Fleetwood Mac were very little known worldwide.

Eagles did have a one-off single in 2003 called Hole In The World which charted at 69. It's a very Hell Freezes Over front of stage, sitting on a stool sounding song.

I was looking at AC/DC singles for their albums in 2000 and 2008 and they didn't chart on the Hot 100 either. 80 doesn't seem awful for Peacekeeper to me, for 53 year old Lindsey and Stevie.

Silver Girl is awesome! I know it doesn’t sing about walls flaming but I love that lyric “Papers she never signed”

Did we have to bring up "Hole In The World"?

Remember how the eagles spent years dangling that new album they had in the works and when they FINALLY release something from those sessions it was that POS track?

I'm not shocked for a minute they never came back to makeup the show that was cut short. Anything that is ever promised by any member of Fleetwood Mac will most certainly never happen. It's the Fleetwood Mac Family kiss of death.
