Here is a link that shows you other charting positions around the world

I was surprised to see that Behind the Mask charted #1 in the UK.

[BombaySapphire3]

Behind the Mask came in at number one because of the enormous success of Tango there .Tango's wake also helped push Nick's TOSOTM to number 3 there ,easily her highest charting UK album.

[BombaySapphire3]

Bleech..I was looking at the miserable US. Chart placement #128 for Lindsey's Out of The Cradle'It never fails to grate on me that so nearly a perfect pop /rock album fared so badly here.:distress:

[TomBanks147]

It's very unjust. Out of the cradle #128, Time #48. Makes me sad, very sad. :( :(

Actually I disagree. During the 70's and 80's, cable was a new thing so not many people had MTV or other music channels so our only source of the latest music was Top of the pops and Stevie only ever performed "Rooms on Fire" on TOTP so the only higher charting single was "rooms on fire" and and OSOTM climbed to #3

[Miss Vicky]

It's very unjust. Out of the cradle #128, Time #48. Makes me sad, very sad. :( :(

Same here.

BOTH should have peaked much higher.

[TheWILDheart]

I know I will be slaughtered for this but I don't know anything by LB solo. I never paid much interest to his solo work.

Heck, I'm 16!! Most people my age listen to some rite **** but not me...Fleetwood Mac, Stevie Nicks, Blondie, The Cranberries, The Goo Goo Dolls, Scissor Sisters etc....

I think I'll pass on LB..i have heard stuff from "Go Insane" and it's not that good.

[Miss Vicky]

I have heard stuff from "Go Insane" and it's not that good.

What the hell are you smoking, boy?

[goldustboi]

WildHeart - Hi, I was the same as you at one point, I initially only bothered with Fleetwood Mac then eventually got round to discovering Stevie's solo stuff and I've now finally got round to Lindsey's stuff. Having said that I've so far only got OOTC but I would seriously consider buying it (I had to get it from Amazon as none of my local music shops had it) - its absolutely amazing, Doing What I Can and Turn It On are particularly brilliant.

Thanks for the advice. I will look out for it. :)

I don't smoke - tis evil

"Time" actually charted - incredible :shocked:

Michael!!!!!!

You just never quit, do you?

That's okay. I've got just as much stamina with my TISL hating. :laugh:

:laugh: I was just pointing out how surprised I am!! Tis all....

Yeah, right. Pure intentions my ass. :D

[foxyluva]

Yeah, right. Pure intentions my ass. :D

Im innocent and you can't prove otherwise :lol:

Im pleased to see "BTM" was a number 1 - as I have said before, it has some of Stevie's and Christine's best Mac efforts!!

[Miss Vicky]

Im innocent and you can't prove otherwise :lol:

Im pleased to see "BTM" was a number 1 - as I have said before, it has some of Stevie's and Christine's best Mac efforts!!

And yet, as brilliant as the album is, it also contains one enormous, stinking piece of offal - "The Second Time."

But "In the Back of My Mind" more than makes up for the heinousness of that previously mentioned track.

[TheWILDheart]

Yeh I really like BTM! I don't know why it didn't so so well in america. I would've thought a lot of people would have bought it out of curiosty to see how the new lineup sounded.

Not that tripe again - you know "The Second Time" rules :D

I can't argue with "In the Back of My Mind" however - it is really one of the Mac's greats! I don't think anything else by the boys except maybe "Hard Feelings" is worth my listening time - the production also really grinds my gears :)

[Miss Vicky]

I don't think anything else by the boys except maybe "Hard Feelings" is worth my listening time.

Are you kidding me????

The only even remotely weak offering from the boys is "Stand On the Rock" and that's just because the lyrics are lame.

Well I like both "The Second Time" and "In the Back of My Mind" but "Freedom" is by far the best song on BTM!

[Miss Vicky]

"Freedom" is by far the best song on BTM!

"Freedom" is good, I'll give you that - lyrically some of Stevie's best work - but "In the Back of My Mind" is a far superior song overall.

[TheWILDheart]

Well not to start an argument but I disagree. As much as I like "In the Back of My Mind" I just prefer "Freedom". It's great to play on full in the car when your speading over the moors. LOVE IT! "In the Back of My Mind" is also great though.

Me kid!!?? Ha! You are wrong, yet again my dear ;)

Ooh - I love "Freedom" - but my vote for best song goes to "Behind the Mask" - which I think is Christine's best song ever - possibly tied with 'Over and Over" - I can't decide which is better :D

[TheWILDheart]

Yes they are two great songs. I love Christine and Stevie's harmonies on 'Skies the Limit' - "and when we do, I'll think about you" - love that bit

[Miss Vicky]

Me kid!!?? Ha! You are wrong, yet again my dear ;)

...Christine's best song ever - possibly tied with 'Over and Over" - I can't decide which is better :D

To both of these comments I can only sigh, shake my head, and once again chalk it up to your bad taste in music. Sometimes you really disappoint me, Michael. For shame.

Here's a clue:

It's an inside joke between friends.

You are misinterpreting my words. I'm not forcing anything down Michael's throat.

And what happened to you having me on ignore? Just couldn't keep away, could you?

not when you keep answering to my posts i can't...

sorry about the misinterpreting thing...infuture i shall take it as red...I respect ur opinion about "The Second Time" but disagree...is that ok? I dnt want anymore arguments...ok?

I thought you loved "Behind the Mask" :shrug:

'Over & Over' rules! You Suck! :laugh:

..and once again she is forcing her opinion down our throats ladies and gents...

Don't worry about it dude - this is what we do. This is a typical Michael vs. Victoria conversation, believe me - I can handle my own :)

OK. Enjoy...

[Miss Vicky]

I do love it, which is exactly why I can't abide by your remark that the rest of Billy and Rick's offerings aren't "worth your time."

Seriously, how can anyone not love "When the Sun Goes Down"?

Vicky I think we've found something we agree on. I love 'When the Sun Goes Down'.

True - I forgot about that song. It is okay - doesn't overlly interest me, and I definately don't put "BTM" on to listen to it specifically. In fact, the only reason I would listen to it would be for Stevie's 'Take Good Care' line :laugh:

I take it you don't like Billy and Rick then? They are ok. Granted, they are no LB but they do have some good songs and i like Billy Brunette's voice. With the backup of Christine and Stevie - they are great. But solo, no chance. Sorry.

[Nicks Fan]

BTM is a solid effort. Some songs are not as good as others (Stand on the Rock comes to mind) and then there are some that are really good (Skies The Limit, Affairs of the Heart) I am surprised that more people didn't buy it.

Matt

[Miss Vicky]

I definately don't put "BTM" on to listen to it specifically.

Neither do I. I put it on for "In the Back of My Mind," however - after I've listened to that song a million times - I simply cannot take it out of the player without at least one spin of "When the Sun Goes Down."

[Miss Vicky]

Billy and Rick are ok. Granted, they are no LB.

Actually, as much as I love Lindsey Buckingham, I find Burnette's lyrical and vocal talents to be superior. I also think that the majority of Burnette's solo efforts are amazing.

[foxyluva]

Its not that I dislike them - they just had big shoes to fill. They needed to come with something great. Songs like "In the Back of my Mind" certainly live up to expectations, but the rest of their additions to the album is a snorefest. I don't know wether that was Mick's idea or what - but either way, not all that great.

[Johnny Stew]

"Time" actually charted - incredible :shocked:Yes, in the UK. It didn't chart in the US though. :( It was pretty surprising at the time that a new Fleetwood Mac album didn't even so much as crack the Top 200.

[TheWILDheart]

Yes, in the UK. It didn't chart in the US though. :( It was pretty surprising at the time that a new Fleetwood Mac album didn't even so much as crack the Top 200.

I have long ago ceased to be at all surpised by the music charts. It seems talent and legacy hold no weight when it comes to positions on the pop charts.

The promotion on "Time" was pretty much non-existant, which you would find to be unfortunate, but Im not complaining :D
