That song has had immense traction since then. I can't imagine the size of royalty checks that stream in. I'm sure it's a landslide of cash.
"Landslide" was a FMac concert favorite since '75. But, the song actually gained huge public prominence when the Dixie Chicks covered it. Widened the listening audience by reeling in the Country crowd who probably wouldn't give Fleetwood Mac or Stevie Nicks the time of day prior to that.
