lowest-selling tracks on iTunes

[KenB]

Out of curiosity, I called up all Fleetwood Mac tracks on iTunes, ordered them by sales, and then looked at the list starting at the bottom. Predictably, the bottom reaches of the list consist mostly of pre-Buckingham/Nicks songs, outtakes from the remasters, live versions, and tracks from Time and Behind the Mask.

If you look only at the five studio albums of the initial BN period, the least popular songs are:

1. That's Enough For me (Tusk) [my favorite track from that album!]
2. You and I, Part 2 (Tango)
3. Can't Go Back (Mirage)
4. Book of Love (Mirage)
5. Only Over You (Mirage)

If you count Behind The Mask as BN-era (because of Nicks), the least popular song is "When The Sun Goes Down." The least popular song written with the involvement of Stevie is "Love Is Dangerous." Oddly, those are my two favorite songs from that album.

Just thought it was interesting to see which songs were the least downloaded.

Ha, that is really interesting. So "Only Over You" is the least popular? I would agree that's one of their worst from the BN era...

But "Book of Love." No! That one is great.

Funny, I love Only Over you...the background yearning vocals, especially at the end get to me. Oh Diane is horrible (should be on that list) and I really don't like the screaming on That's enough for me. Can't stand When I see you again either. Stevie's out there vocals during the Tango era drive me crazy, as much as I love her.

While I'd agree "Only Over You" is a weak song, I don't think that, or any of the songs on that list, are the worst of the Stevie era. Those aren't even the worst from their respective albums!

[KenB]

I probably should have listed the tracks starting with number 5 to make it clearer. "Only Over You" is the fifth least popular. The number 1 least popular is "That's Enough for Me."

Wow, Lindsey really got tarred & feathered on this list!

I'll never get all the hate for Only Over You, either. It's a beautiful little song with lush harmonies, and for Christine, it's kind of avant garde. I think it's one of the stronger tracks on an admittedly weak album.

I love "When The Sun Goes Down." because its countrified FM tune.
My local country station played it because I called and requested it.Since I was friends with the jock he had no problem playing it since he also was the music director there too.





I love "Can't Go Back" both versions.I'm surprised it registered low on iTunes.
Apparently nobody viewed the Wildheart demo videos.

All those Lindsey songs with the exception of you and I......I agree with actually.
