I dont think that is a fair comparison IMHO. The non-hits on Tango were still very safe and very commercial songs. Tusk had very few commercial songs. I also think they promoted the album with an incredible world tour and even a video (which was not that common in 1979). Fleetwood Mac never did much new material while promoting new albums but they did a fair share and they transformed them live extremely good (IMHO).
