If you pretend you never heard any song from Tusk and picture yourself listening to Tusk for the first time in 1979. Its a no brainer Think About me would be your lead off. But Lindsey wanted to show the world "Tusk". The limelight of Rumours put the single Tusk in the top 10. You NEVER hear it on the radio today. Imagine if the singles were reversed and Tusk was the 3rd single. It would not have even cracked to top 50.
I think if Think About Me was truely that great it would of done better since the previous two top 10 singles guaranteed airplay. The public didn't like it that much.It lost momentum for the album.
