Just having finished a whopping 3 assignments, i was in a mood to type. I was thinking about what I would have liked FM to do in terms of there career, so I thought I would make my own timeline :thumbsup: So i came up with the following:
1987
After Tango in the Night, the band decided to go on tour, Lindsey decided not to join them. The band asks ex-member Bob Welch to take his place.
1988
After the successful tour, and an accompanying VHS/DVD of one leg of the tour, the band releases a Greatest Hits compilation, with two new songs from Stevie and Christine. The band takes a short break and ‘As Long As You Follow’ is released as a single, climbing the charts to number 20.
1989
Stevie releases Other Side of the Mirror in 1989 peaking at number 5 on the charts – Releasing “Rooms on Fire” as the first single (number 3 on chart), “Long Way to Go” (number 9 on chart) as the second and ‘Ooh My Love” as the third (number 28 on the chart). Each with an accompanying commercial video. All this results in a short, sold out tour of the USA.
1990
Fleetwood Mac decide to go back into the studio with and record “Behind The Mask” with Christine McVie, Stevie Nicks & re joined member Bob Welch, replacing Lindsey Buckingham. The album has the following tracklisting:
Skies the Limit Christine McVie
My Mind Bob Welch
Affairs of the Heart Stevie Nicks
Cry Love Bob Welch
Forever Bob Welch
Save Me Christine McVie
The Second Time Stevie Nicks
Behind the Mask Christine McVie
Devil Wind (Part II) Bob Welch & Stevie Nicks
Do You Know Christine McVie
Freedom Stevie Nicks
Trusting You Bob Welch
“Save Me” is the first single, with a commerical video, peaking at number 17 on the charts. The second single is a Bob Welch & Stevie Nicks duet, Devil Wind Part II (Part I being on Bob’s ‘Three Hearts’ album) peaking at number 19. There is a third single “Skies the Limit” which is released peaking at number 30, and no more singles are released. The album peaks at number 5 on the chart. The 'Behind The Mask' tour begins.
1991
The 'Behind The Mask' tour is successful and concludes early 1991. Stevie releases ‘Timespace: The Best of Stevie Nicks’, peaking at number 15, with the accompanying single “Love’s A Hard Game to Play” resulting in a peak at number 20 on the chart. The accompanying tour is again sold out.
1992
After the unexpected ‘failure’ of the ‘Behind the Mask’ album – John McVie & Mick Fleetwood decide to release a new album, this time it is a disc of rare, unreleased and new material especially compiled for this project, called ‘The Chain: New, Rare & Unreleased’ with the following tracklisting:
Love Shines Christine McVie (New Song)
Silver Springs Stevie Nicks (B Side – 1977)
Goodbye Angel Lindsey Buckingham (Unreleased – 1981)
Song of Love Bob Welch (Unreleased – 1990)
Paper Doll Stevie Nicks (New Song)
Ricky Christine McVie (Unreleased – 1987)
Lizard People Mick Fleetwood (B Side – 1990)
Down Endless Street Lindsey Buckingham (B Side 1987)
Bring Me Down Bob Welch (New Song)
Cool Water Lindsey, Mick & John (B Side – 1981)
You & I Part I Lindsey & Christine (B Side – 1987)
Heart of Stone Christine McVie (New Song)
Book of Miracles Instrumental (B Side – 1987)
The first single is ‘Heart of Stone’ – with a commercial video featuring all members of the band (sans Lindsey). It peaks at number 24 on the chart. ‘Paper Doll’ is released as a second single, with a commercial video with clips showing the bands past. It barely scrapes the top 40. The album peaks at number 28. There is no tour for this album. Lindsey also releases his album ‘Out of the Cradle’ in this year, with major critical praise. The album peaks at number 30 on the chart, and the single ‘I Want You’ barely scrapes the top 40 also, peaking at 38 before sliding off completely.
1993
Stevie Nicks & Christine McVie decide to leave Fleetwood Mac, Mick decides to dismember the remaining band. Bob Welch, records a new album on Warner Music, but the album is shelved before release.
1994
Stevie Nicks releases her solo project ‘Street Angel’ with the lead single ‘Maybe Love’ with a commercial video, which peaks at number 33. A second single ‘Blue Denim’ is released, again peaking just inside the top 40 at 35. The album peaks at number 30, but due to a lack of promotion from Modern Records, Stevie leaves the company by the end of the year. The Street Angel tour is sold out in all areas of the US and Canada.
1996
Stevie, while recording a song for the Twister, asks Lindsey, Mick & John to play with her on the track, which becomes twisted. Although ‘Twisted’ was never released as a single, it starts the mending process between band members.
1997
After a long break, Lindsey while trying to get a new solo project together, is encouraged by people from Warner to record with Fleetwood Mac instead. Lindsey agrees, and contacts Mick, who then proceeds to get the ‘Rumours’ era of the band together to record a new album ‘The Dance’ with the following tracklisting:
Bleed to Love Her Lindsey Buckingham
Under Pressure Christine McVie
Seasons Lindsey Buckingham
Sweet Girl Stevie Nicks
Temporary One Christine McVie
Change Your Mind Lindsey Buckingham
My Little Demon Lindsey Buckingham
Inspiration Stevie Nicks
Go Insane Lindsey Buckingham
Dial The Number Stevie Nicks
Goodbye My Friend Christine McVie
The night before the highly promoted CD is in store, ‘The Dance’ concert is played on TV, which generates huge interest in the band. The first single ‘Bleed to Love Her’ peaks at number 8 on the chart, the second single ‘Temporary One’ is released and peaks at number 14. Both have accompanying commercial videos. ‘Sweet Girl’ is released as a third single, the video released is from ‘The Dance’ TV performance, and peaks at 36.

2000
Stevie releases a box-set retrospective of her solo career called ‘Enchanted’. The compilation, which contains three discs, 2 containing all her solo hits, and the third contains all a selection of B Sides, unreleased and soundtrack songs. Released on her new label Reprise, the set does surprisingly well, and goes Gold within 6 months.
2001
Stevie Nicks releases ‘Trouble In Shangri-La’ on new label Reprise. The album is critically acclaimed, and peaks at number 5 on the charts. Lead single ‘Sorcerer’ peaks at number 18, Stevie’s first top 20 single since ‘Long Way To Go’ in 1989. The second single ‘I Miss You’ peaks at number 22. Both have accompanying commercial videos. A third single ‘Planets of the Universe’ fails to take off on radio, so Reprise did not require a commercial video. It did however, just scrape the top 40, peaking at number 39. The major tour is again, sold out.
2003
After Stevie’s successful solo comeback, Lindsey and Mick decide to go back into the studio and record another album. All rumours-era members of the band are asked, but Christine would only record with the band, and refused to accompany them on a tour to support the new album. So, it was decided that it was in the best interests of the band, to just do the project without Christine.
