So, that's why she concluded that only Don't Stop and World Turning were in the setlist, because they couldn't get the others right.

That is true. Wasn't that the interview she got her songs mixed up and said they were doing You Make Loving Fun rather than Say You Love Me, and that they weren't quite getting it? I remember reading it.
They are a balanced trio: Christine = pop relevancy. Lindsey = sound and direction of the group. Stevie = the most talented songwriter, and I'd argue the writer of their most lasting and uniquely Fleetwood Mac songs.
Yes, that's how I read it from my other post, and probably how the band sees it:
Number One Hit = Dreams, I bet it burned Lindsey that Stevie got the one and only number one. But in the long-term, obviously, a number-one hit doesn't mean your song will hold up. How many pop acts fade into obscurity? Even Mariah Carey with her 18 number-ones has had trouble selling concert tickets and has struggled to stay relevant. I'm just glad Fleetwood Mac was able to get one.
Hits = Top 20 on U.S. Billboard Hot 100 Chart
Gradual Hits over Time, eventually singles = Landslide, Silver Springs
'Perceived Hits'/Non-singles = I still wonder about Songbird---does anyone hear that song on the radio??? It seems like perfect Adult Contemporary material. I'm not sure if non-singles cannot be played, but then Gold Dust Woman appears on classic rock stations.
