What part of the world? On any side of the world she has had more hit singles than ANYONE else in that group. Fact. I love Lindsey as much as the next fella, but facts are facts.

So as far as, "narrow" views go... I would say the fact is what it is and you cannot be mad at it. Well, you could, but it would do you no good.

Why do you need to defend Lindsey? His work on Dreams is what made it a song that was worth listening to.

Anyway, Dreams was a Fleetwood Mac song so, unless she's had solo #1 singles (I don't know), then she isn't the "only member with a #1 hit single". They were all on Dreams so they've all had a #1 single.

I agree!!

And if I remember correctly, we over here seem to have taken Christine to our hearts more than any other member. Everywhere was never no.1 but it came extremely close, as did Little Lies... but nothing else to write home about as far as number one's go..THEY'RE the facts.

But were they number 1? Nope. Sorry. Define facts for me, as you believe it to be defined.

They may not have been, but Albatross was. Dreams wasn't. We've been through this. More people over here know Dreams as "Oh, isn't that the thunder song that The Corrs did?"

In Mick's book there was a letter from Stevie pointing out that Dreams was the band's only #1 hit. I thought that was pretty funny.

Christine has said that was a regret of hers, not having one of her songs get to number one.

Kennation: A fact is a piece of legit information... Dreams was never an Irish number one-FACT... Everywhere was the most popular FM song ever over here-again FACT!

But its ok, because where we come from, Christine is the most loved and most popular member of Fleetwood Mac, and they others are simply worthless..

Just sayin!

Please. Of course you can start a thread that is positive about Stevie without it being antagonistic but the title of this thread is pitting her against the other members as superior in some way. I'm not saying it isn't funny or true or whatever but you post something obviously hoping to stir up some drama, "look Stevie is better than the other members" then act surprised and hurt when people challenge you on it.
And there are plenty of positive posts about Stevie on The Ledge, the majority are positive in fact, you just choose to focus on the few negative ones.

She's never had a No.1 in Ireland where DigYourGrave is from. I believe that's what she was saying. Christine has come closer to being number one than Stevie there.

Hmm, I didn't think I had to explain it in such basic terms..

I love Stevie to death but here in the UK most people don't know who she is. Her biggest solo hit was Rooms On Fire which got to No.16 I think back in 1989. Peter Green is far more famous here and Mick Fleetwood of course, mainly due to his infamous stint as host of the Brit awards

Yeah, loads of people over here know Peter Green. I don't know anyone that's a similar age to me that had heard of Stevie before I mentioned her but plenty knew Peter Green and they all know Fleetwood Mac.

When I was saying "over here" I meant N. Ireland as part of the UK, but if we're taking it as part of Ireland, then FM have never had a #1 single. The best they did was #2 with Everywhere. Albatross got to #5 and according to http://www.fmlegacy.com/charts/IREcharts.html Dreams either wasn't released in Ireland or it didn't chart at all.

I am not seeing Everywhere as a number one hit, anywhere. Please give me your website information, or where I can find it. Thanks!

(Just for good measure.) Because Everywhere only went to number 2... Based on the information I have.
