Actually, Stevie only had four:
SDMHA: (a Tom Petty & the Heartbreakers song that they turned into a duet for her album).
Leather & Lace (a duet with Don Henley)
Stand Back
Talk To Me

You forgot Whenever I Call You Friend, which was a top 10 song. And a top 10 song is a top 10 song, whether it was a duet or written by someone else.
And I don't think Stevie is "the only one the public cares about." I'm not saying that she's better than Lindsey or Christine, or John and Mick, for that matter. Having more hits or albums doesn't mean artistically she's a better singer... but it does make her very well known. If American Idol had asked Christine to be on the show, she probably would have declined, for whatever reason- fear of flying or maybe she is quiet and has no desire to be on tv. The point is, AI was a huge show and iconic, and it introduced Stevie to younger kids. America's Got Talent did the same thing for her.
THAT is why people know Stevie and not Christine.
