No radio programmer leaned in heavy on Little Lies rotation because Lindsey left.
Radio was only part of the equation in 1987. MTV played the crap out of the video, which, again, heavily played up Lindsey’s leaving. It absolutely was part of the storyline behind the song’s success.

I cannot believe that you think Little Lies would have tanked if Lindsey had not quit in 1987.
Never said that, though. I said it might not have been a top 5 hit. I also said that TITN sold more after he quit.
