However, I think it's just the knowledge that if she isn't on it, it won't sell as much, and that, unfortunately, is a bottom-line consideration for this version of band.

But let's go with your theory (which is unfortunately quite possible). In the past, Christine once had a lot of power than she seems to have now. Her being gone for 16 years has changed the dynamic. Stevie wouldn't have nearly this much power to hold the band hostage had Christine never left.

I'd bet my right arm Stevie has no such power. A clause in an FM contract is pure speculation that makes it easier to continue blaming Stevie rather than admit the other four just don't have as much artistic integrity as some want them to. A simple statement of "We're going to spend the next 6 months recording and releasing the final Fleetwood Mac album" could have only two outcomes: either Stevie comes running with her tail between her legs not wanting to be left out, or she passes on the project and thanks her lucky stars she's not trapped in a studio with Lindsey.

There are no hostages, but there are some wimps.
