Just because she shares half of her songwriting credits with Dave doesn't mean he gets half of the royalties tho. Being that it is a Stevie album, she has a much better bargaining angle with her royalty percentage than she does in a Mac album. Plus, she doesn't have other band members getting a royalty per each album. She also split writing credits on Running Through the Garden and Everybody Finds Out on SYW, so not only do those additional writers get royalties, but so do John, Mick, and Lindsey for being the signed artist "Fleetwood Mac" whereas in her solo albums she gets that "Fleetwood Mac" percentage because the only signed artist on the record deal is "Stevie Nicks." Not only that, but there are songs on Fleetwood Mac albums where she gets zero writing credit. Not saying that her solo albums make her a whole lot more money than FM albums, but they probably do make her at least the same if not more than a Mac album would and she has much more control over them and doesn't have to deal with all the band politics. Therefore, I can see why she is much more willing to make a solo album even if she knows it isn't going to really sell a whole lot.
