Oh yeah, you're exactly right. Stevie would not be able to sell out arenas with hardcore fans like us only...she needs the casual fans, who know her from radio hits, and all the other fame she had...A guy behind us at the Stevie Don show was heard before the show asking someone else "So do you know these people's music?" and the other guy was like "Well I know it's the Fleetwood Mac girl, and The Eagles man...so I know their hits yeah, and they better play them.." lol..there they were in the 6th!
Tori like you said has never had near the amount of success commercially Stevie has had....not with album sales, radio hits, anything...she's a total cult following---but it works for her...and she caters to those fans...
