The only songs I see as could having charted are The Dealer and Starshine and those are so-so to me compared to Rooms On Fire, Long Way To Go, etc.

But yes the music industry is unfortunately ageist... And I'm mostly fan of older female singers so I'm used to seeing next to zero charting lol.

Not all songs on TISL sound like demos. The title track is great. The material is nowhere near as strong as 24k. There are no strong radio singles on the album. Rooms on Fire is a good, original single. Most of the songs from TOSOTM sound like ideas, not songs. That is an awful album. That and Street Angel just about killed her career. Thank god for The Dance.

The Dealer, Hard Advice, Blue Water, Starshine, 24k, She Still Loves Him... All could of been hits. Even Bella Fleur and I Don't Care would of gotten play.
