That's how many tracks are on Say You Will.

18 songs perhaps would be "less challenging" as opposed to 10 or so. Narrowing down Stevie's entire catalog to just 18 songs would definitely be harder than Lindsey or Christine's, in my opinion. Most CD's can hold 18 songs so I thought that was a good number to create that 1-disc "Best of" for each Rumours-era vocalists.

I seem to remember you doing a singles list for Christine on her forum last year. My idea would have more that just the singles in the running. All songs penned by that vocalist - solo, FM, etc would be eligible with no restrictions or rules about album limits.
