And they opened for FM on the Mirage tour. At least at my stop(Market Square Arena - Indy). I became a pretty big fan for a few years.

WHINY? Hasn't aged well? What could be worse than Stevie and her Nasal Symphony? Now THAT'S whiny and annoying.

Now just admit that you are wrong, and we can all have wine.
It's aged well!! Prince is on it. And Christine saw him coming out of the studio across the hall for a few seconds and they are the best of friends. I am shocked Christine didn't speak at his eulogy. They were so close.

Did you see the Youtube of Prince's mgr? Where Prince basically told her to keep Stevie away from him because goat was obnoxious, entitled, and hitting on him. I think the mgr. had to dance with Prince so Stevie would see he was occupied.

Big Love was the biggest surprise to me. I'm guessing TITN being a hugely popular album had some impact. Being reinvented on The Dance and Lindsey continuing to play it in his solo shows more than likely made it more "successful".

Landslide didn't surprise me at all. I'd say it's one of the most recognizable FM songs. Although it was only released as a FM single in the 90s, it became hugely popular with the Dixie Chicks cover and let's not forget that Budweiser commercial.

Oh yeah, I trust it. I remember it being a solid single and its' staying power was amazing. It's a great song.

2013 vs 2021 for songs over 34 years old? what can be the difference? in 5 more years order will completely change again.
Nah, it's not going to completely change. And I believe AS's list is fairly accurate. At least concede that Hold Me wasn't the most successful FM single in 2013, 2021, or will it be in 5 yrs from now. Unless of course you think a Tik Tok video or the like will miraculously catapult it into the Top 10, much less #1.

Yeah, they totally didn’t play up Lindsey leaving in the video or anything.

Point of order: The version of “Big Love” that appeared on The Dance was what he opened his 1993 shows with.

haha of course it can! look what happened to Dreams and it's so much better song than Dreams.

of course it doesn't have idiotic weather lyrics so maybe not
