Interesting factoids (add your own!)

[louielouie2000]

I don't think I ever really put this together until tonight:

Bella Donna sold twice the amount of copies that Mirage did

Wild Heart and Mirage actually had the same sales figures. I guess I never considered the fact Stevie actually outsold the Mac during her heyday. It certainly puts some perspective into why Fleetwood Mac went so long between recording Mirage and Tango. It was all about egos! Following her breakout solo success, Stevie more than likely felt like she had substantial bargaining power for the first time. The other members of the band saw how successful Stevie's album was, and figured it they should throw their hats into that ring as well. Why deal with all the Mac drama when you can outsell the band on your own? It had to be humbling and even threatening to the other Mac members that Stevie's solo career was substantially outselling the Mac itself. No wonder Fleetwood Mac took 5 years off after Mirage! This just puts an entirely new spin on the way I view Mac/Stevie history.

Are there any Stevie or Mac factoids that you find intriguing?
