In your opinion, what song of Christine's would have made a great, hit single

[michelej1]

Well, it wouldn't be a radio hit, but I think Calumny or Northern Star could have been what Songbird was. Also, Got a Hold On Me was a modest hit, but I think it would have been bigger and much more ubiquitous on our airwaves even today if it had been released by FM.

It made the top 10. Was it only there briefly? It seems as big a hit as many of her Mac songs.

It also was on the Adult Contemporary chart too. But it just seems like . . . how come we never hear it anymore, when YMLF is played constantly. Actually, I do remember being in a rental car in Chicago when Got A Hold On Me came on the radio and it made my whole trip. But it's a rare occurrence. I haven't heard it on the radio since the year it was released, other than that instance.

I think that if Friend had been on SYW it would have been a hit (I know it was a single but not a big hit)

I heard Got A Hold On Me, on a store's muzak, not too long ago. I think it was a bigger hit, than we remember. I remember MTV playing the hell out of the video.

I think if You Are had been recorded by Fleetwood Mac it would have been a hit. It has that classic Mac sound, I think.

I agree, but I think it should have been named something else. I never felt "Friend" was the best name for it.
