I think in the 70's Ronstadt was bigger than Stevie Nicks...just a bigger international household name. I think Rolling Stone even named her the "Queen of Rock N Roll' back in the later 70's.
ON EDIT:
How she ever got the "rock n roll" label I'll never know, as I find her music super mellow yellow. I like many of her covers though, she's got a strong voice, a true vocalist.

Actually "Rumours" was #1 for two weeks when "Hotel California" reclaimed the #1 spot for five weeks. "Rumours" then took over the top spot for the next eight weeks when "Barry Manilow Live" knocked it out for a week. Then "Rumours" came back for 19 weeks when "Simple Dreams" knocked it out for five weeks. "Rumours" came back for two more weeks at #1 until the "Saturday Night Fever" soundtrack ended it's run.
