What songs do you consider to be hits from Tusk?
Can't really do a poll with this album, so post/discuss the songs you feel are hits from Tusk and SHOULD NOT be in the contest.
I suppose for the actual voting, I'll have Christine and Stevie in one poll and Lindsey's in another with the winners in the final poll. Please state clearly what songs you feel are hits as I will keep a running tab of those votes. |

Yeah, we pretty much gotta go with these three singles. Funny how low a profile "Think About Me" has, though. Only performed a few times in concert, not on the radio these days, and never included in compilations. Personally, I love it.

Sara and Tusk are the only real hits off Tusk, tho... with Sara being less so than the title track. They are both signature Mac songs, but Tusk is one of their definitive songs, for sure.

The album gave the group two US top-ten hit singles, with the Buckingham-penned title track (US #8/UK #6), and the Stevie Nicks composition "Sara" (US #7/UK #37). Further releases from the album, "Not That Funny" (UK only single release), "Think About Me" and "Sisters of the Moon" were less successful; however, the latter two appear in their 'single versions' on the 2002 compilation The Very Best of Fleetwood Mac. singles - charts: Year Single US UK AUS 1979 "Tusk" 8 6 3 1980 "Sara" 7 37 - 1980 "Think About Me" 20 - - 1980 "Sisters of the Moon" 86 - - |

Sara - 6
Tusk - 6 Think About Me - 4 ...assuming that louie and elle are saying Think About Me shouldn't count as a hit. Kinda a tricky album here with 20 songs and not many "radio" hits, and with this album being very popular here on the Ledge. Good point made about Think About Me being the forgotten "hit". I like it as its one of the songs that showcase the Christine/Lindsey dynamic, a la Don't Stop/Hold Me. |

"Think About Me" made it to the Top 20 -- not sure why it wouldn't count as a hit alongside "Tusk" and "Sara."

[from the perspective of how known these songs are today, still kinda funny to count Think About Me as a hit, and SHN as non-hit, isn't it? ] |

So, "Think About Me" would qualify as a hit. Even if more people know SHN - Elle. It's not THAT funny is it?!?

Funnily enough, I actually heard it on the radio in Denny's a little over a year ago. I was surprised yet pleased.
