I was wondering about that. The la/le stuff, I mean.

Also, the Dance remix of POTU was a number one single as well, although granted that was quasi solo (FM had worked on it in the past). But, you said "one and only"

Can you tell I am bored today!!!!

WE LOVE YOU JOHNNY STEW

I'll make the correction.

It did. The White Album has sold over 5 million copies while Tango has sold over 3 million. I have no idea how much the White Album has sold outside of the U.S. The White Album is their second biggest selling studio album.

You should join The Risster and myself in writing pornographic songs about Lindsey's pants.

Yep, I was referring to studio albums, not "best of" packages.

Hayley's right... of the studio albums that featured Mick, John, Christine, Lindsey & Stevie, 'Fleetwood Mac' is the band's second biggest seller in the US (5 million).
('Tango' comes in third with 3 million, followed by 'Tusk' and 'Mirage,' with 2 million apiece. Of the other releases, 'Greatest Hits' has sold over 8 million, 'The Dance' over 5 million, 'The Very Best of Fleetwood Mac' has sold 1 million+, and 'Fleetwood Mac Live' has sold over 500,000 copies.)

However, if you factor in worldwide sales figures, 'Tango' is the band's second biggest selling studio album (I just checked, and it had sold 8,697,088 copies by 2003), after 'Rumours.'

Yes, I am a nerd.

I was wondering about TITN because I remember LB saying it was the second best selling after Rumors and excluding the best of stuff.

Hmm... I think on a scale of 1 - 10, with 1 being the most butch, and 10 being the most, well, un-butch, I'd maybe be a 6.

Of course, it all depends on how you grade... and I imagine my despisal of football and my enjoyment of broadway musicals might hurt me a bit.

Le Stew: "Actually, Dreams was your one and only #1 single from the 1977 album Rumours, which went on to sell almost 30 million in the US and around the world. It's certified diamond, by the way. Also, and this is a horse of a different color but a number one all the same, the remix for Planets of the Universe hit #1 on the dance charts. It was a song from your 2001 gold-certified release Toruble In Shangri-La."

It's all in good fun, Johnny. [/B]

Let's not forget that "Albatross" hit #1 in the UK TWICE!

"Albatross"?
You mean there was a version of Fleetwood Mac before Lindsey & Stevie?! I don't believe you!
