I think "Think About Me" has hooks but it also has a heavier guitar than most McVie hit songs do, and I think that impaired it's chart success somewhat. Her other Tusk songs just don't really have hooks to them.

I see your point about Christine's Tusk songs lacking that hook that her songs esp from Mirage/Tango had. Most of her Tusk songs were really slow and mellow not really something that would go over on the radio as a single.

To me Christine was looked at as the hitmaker for the band. Though she rebounded greatly with Mirage and esp Tango, she struck out on Tusk.
