Well, you buy a single ( "the little record with the big hole" )...it has two sides...therefore, both sides are the single. Only radio programmers and promotion people decide what the "A" & "B" sides are. I would have bet that had "Silver Springs" been on the album, the "Go Your Own Way"/"Silver Springs" single would've been classified as a "Double A" side single (in the same way that The Beatles "Day Tripper"/"We Can Work It Out" single and "Something"/"Come Together" singles were) and both songs would've continued to get massive airplay. When the album came out WITHOUT "Silver Springs", that killed its airplay (why promote a song that isn't on the album?) and "Go Your Own Way" continued to get double the airplay after that.
