I know. She has tons of young fans from the audiences of Harry Styles, Taylor Swift, Maggie Rogers, and her other young artist friends.

She did the song on Saturday Night Live, she did a huge RS interview, and she did CBS News Sunday. I'm surprised the song didn't even debut in the 90s on the Hot 100. It's more "hit" oriented than Show Them The Way. Then again her last true song that sounds like a hit was 2011's Secret Love.

These songs are all hits in your heart right Homie?

After performing The Lighthouse on Jimmy Kimmel Live, Stevie did not chart on the Billboard Hot 100 just out today. She also was not nominated for the Songwriter’s Hall of Fame today, but Sheryl Crow was. Interesting.

Stevie has charted in all our hearts!

I think she wanted this song to be a hit Billboard charting song. She has done so much promotion for this song: Rolling Stone feature interview, CBS News, Morning Joe, People, Jimmy Kimmel. For all of her popularity that she revels in and the interviewers who salivate over her new song, she can’t sell new music. Her last two new songs were also co-writing compositions.

On the other hand, doesn't she have the #1 Christmas song right now?

Not on the chart that matters: Billboard Hot 100.

It's on a Christmas songs iTunes chart. That "Christmas" song is a cover and duet with a major sports and podcast figure.

I wonder if she will sing again The Lighthouse in any concert, tv show, etc.

She definitely will sing it in concert now that Trump was narrowly elected. It'll be great for her to sing a new song in concert for the first time since 2017. Even though the 24KG songs she sang in 2017 were all written decades ago.

Being from The UK, I don’t follow all the figures but I thought he won quite a strong majority…

I want to hear that new song about the vampire’s wife (Bella?).

I may be sorry once I do, but I’m getting a little tired of “Edge of Seventeen.”

My favorite vocal since the millennium was “Not Fade Away.” But as far as I know, she has never done that during one of her concerts. Jesus, Stevie, are you crazy? It has crowd pleaser written all over it. Even Tom Petty used to sing it onstage.

Exactly. I figured it would be days, or even weeks before the tally was final.

But I'm always one to crush some "Stevie Nicks' logic".

I thought the same. However I think the strong majority does apply to the electoral votes difference (what I understand is what ultimately matters), but not so much for the popular vote (50% vs 48.3%, not strong but I don't know to consider it narrow).

And I've not been tired of EoS, though I do regulate the frequency with which I listen to it (and other songs).

The popular votes only matter in EACH STATE. Win that state, then you acquire the number of electoral votes from that state. I've always thought that the popular overall vote should decide it, but that's not the way it works, unfortunately.
