Christine McVie Singles Project
 

I have done singles playslists for FM (which I now can't find grr), Lindsey Buckingham and Stevie Nicks. Time I did one for Christine. Agreed?

This is from Chicken Shack to the Mac to solo.

Even though I don't think it was a single, I would include Love Shines. One of my all time favorites!

Are you doing international singles as well? Warm Ways was a single in the UK, but not in the US.

It was a single. I have it

I did not do a good job of being consistent. I did UK releases for the Blue Horizon albums, but TRIED to stay domestic for US Releases. Love Shines was not released as a US single.

"Friend" was released as a single--the electric/album version.

"Isn't it Midnight" was released as a single.

That and Heart of Stone is worth the price of 25 years: The Chain alone.

Gah, I love Heart of Stone but it's sooooooooo depressing for a Chris song :eek: Even more so than Behind The Mask... Love Shines is amazing though, love it love it :nod:

Heh, Behind The Mask and Heart of Stone are in my top 10 Christine songs. I would love if Christine had more songs on the darker side.

Well me too but not as dark as Heart of Stone! :p

How did that fare on the charts Curtis? ie. what number?

Temporary One was a single, but perhaps never in the US. I guess that's Christine's very last single with Fleetwood Mac.

A single is a single, no matter where it was released. Why is the US so exclusive?

Whatever...I like the idea of a Christine McVie collection.

"You are" definitely should have been a single if it wasn't, I absolutely adore that track.

Cool project! Was You Make Loving Fun a single?

Also, I know this is the English teacher in me, and you are just using the title that was used when the CD came out, but is anyone else interested in finally writing Sky's the Limit? Sorry for being so trivial, but it bugs me that no one at the record company caught that before the CD went to print.

And here's to hoping that at some point we will get some more singles from Christine!

I don't think it's a grammatical mistake as much as it was "artistic license." From what I can recall, the phrase "sky's the limit" or "skies the limit" is never actually stated anywhere in the song. The subject and the noun are always clearly enunciated- "The sky is the limit now." As such, I think the song title is supposed to be more descriptive than an actual outtake of the lyric. Perhaps a dash would help to make it clearer, e.g., "Skies - The Limit," in the same vein as "Star Trek - The Next Generation."

could the title have been sort of a "pun"?

Somewhere in the song she does say "The sky is the limit now". I'm pretty sure it's a mistake. But anyway, not a biggie. Just me being anal.
