Seven Wonders isn't heard as much either. It did blow up during the TV show. But then it was dropped and faded away. I do hear Seven Wonders once in a blue moon on Sirius XM.

Correct!
Big Love made it to #5 which is a huge hit. However of all the hits of the 1980s its a song you never hear anymore even on 80s channels. Its one of those hits that climbed the charts and then sort of disappeared. This is why I wish Isn't It Midnight was the first single. After waiting 5 years for a new Mac song it would have cracked the top 10. Seven Wonders? Forget about it. It barely cracked the top 20. However Everywhere which only made it to #14 in the States is still regularly heard. They had to share the wealth I suppose because the first 3 singles from Tango could of been Chris songs. Speaking of Chris its sad they limit her hit success on the new Greatest Hits release to include fewer known songs by Stevie and Lindsey just to share the scene so to speak.
Big Love was pretty much a Lindsey solo song on the album. But Lindsey devoted so much time to the album how could you not give him the lead off single.
