Now we know why she discarded Angel

By the way, of that list, I only know, or at least have heard of, 7. And one of them is thanks to Elton John.

Incredible! Go girl!

She really is the only one out there at that level, and especially at her age..... it's all dudes. So.....she loves being a record-setter, and it's precisely why she'll keep doing it as long as the tickets sell.

Her people are loving her. She is a cash cow every year. She'll be like Frankie Vallie and not able to blink and the Landslide sing along will drown her out before she quits.

Yes, and people love her so much that they've been paying to see the same show since 2022!

I don't know if you'd consider Cher, Céline, Janet, and Madonna in her level - I think if they were out on the road now they'd be making more money than Steve is.

Sadly, it doesn't seem like Barbra tours anymore.

Good for her and the fans that still enjoy her live shows. My last solo Stevie concert was the In Your Dreams tour and it was amazing. I have no interest in her live shows anymore, I’m just hoping for some new music.

I think her public who pay for tha same show love her a lot, too. But if that's true, I suppose they would pay for a setlist with some different songs. Yes maybe they would be dissapointed if she didn't sing Dreams, Stop Draggin or Stand Back. But some other songs could be replaced with Storms, Angel
or another solo song.

I don't consider Stevie in the same level as Madonna, in terms of pop impact over the years. Madonna used to reinvent herself very successfully. I remember her being included in an article about success stories in an MBA course.

Good for Stevie anyway.

Sadly Stevie played Angel at one show last year and it was never heard again. We already know she won’t play Storms live because she dropped it after like 6 shows in 2018. Again, it’s weird because she never dropped Storms on the Unleashed - Hits 2009 Tour. I guess she started noticing audiences not responding enthusiastically on maybe the In Your Dreams Tour?

She must still like traveling across the country. Otherwise, she could probably very easily set up camp in Vegas. (What do they call that when a pop act stays there for months?)

They are pop stars, not rock stars. Nope, not even Madonna is an actual "rock" star.

Got you! Your meaning was Rock. Stevie has definitely had some solo pop (not rock) songs before but I get you. Interesting that Madonna was inducted into the RRHOF 11 years before Stevie solo, and when Madonna was inducted Stevie had already been 2 years eligible for induction.

I will never understand how they in practice decide who will be inducted. I mean, I now the theorical requirements, but in reality it's as controversial as some Oscar winners. So I don't take those nominations and ceremonies too seriously. If I watch them, it's just for fun.

And, at the risk of being crucified, I don't see pop as a musical genre. I see it more as a look, an attitude, a commercial purpose, etc. In fact, the closest definition of pop I've found is... "an eclectic genre, borrowing elements from other styles such as urban, dance, rock, latin, R&B, and folk music". I kind of agree but then that's is not a music genre, it's more like a Frankenstein creature. So it's not a genre. When I think of pop stars, I don't identify them by the style of their songs, but by how they promoted them, how popular are they. My personal opinion.

So what is Fleetwood Mac? They HAVE some rock songs, but they also have more pop songs. In what category do they fall?
