Stevie's in need for a #1 hit.

i could see that happening. After the shock of it being a STEVIE NICKS SINGLE settled down, and after realizing the song wasn't that great because Dave-effing-Stewart is on it, people would forget about it....

I do however think that Stevie would relish the idea of having a #1 hit since that's something she's never accomplished before so for her I would sacrifice my not wanting to share her .

* a solo grammy and/or lifetime achievement award wouldn't hurt either

I'll go then *puts hand to forhead in mock distress* *sniff*

I think all the ones that are worried or upset that a younger generation may know Stevie’s music only because of cover songs (Dixie Chicks “Landslide” or Destiny’s Child “Bootylicious/Edge …) or that they will never truly appreciate her songs the way we do, I think are missing a bigger picture here. If no one covered Stevie’s music at all, that would mean even less people would forget or never know about her as time goes on. Besides, having someone do a great cover such as the Dixie Chicks is only a good thing (and not to forget, more $ for Stevie). As far as Madonna and Glee, I never watched the show UNTIL they did The Power of Madonna. I thought it was great, and very clever the way they incorporated her songs into a storyline. It wasn’t just a bunch of kids singing her songs, the episode told a story and had something to say - I could only wish they would do this for a full hour of Stevie’s music - it would be awesome.

Oh, and like most have said, it’s highly unlikely Stevie will ever have a #1 single (let alone a top 40 hit) unless it’s a fluke, like if it was in a hit movie and happened to be featured prominently in the film or something like that. I was thinking Stevie’s best bet would be to make a country album. I think the voice she has now is probably most suited for that type of music. Then again, country music fans are very loyal and may reject the idea of somebody now trying to cash in on the country scene, even though she has always been a little country.

Why? Cause I'm greedy with my Stevie?

No can't happen in 2010. You will never have 10 - 20 yr olds listening to a 60+ year old in a massive way.

Think about this. Landslide and Silver Springs didn't even make the top 40.

Eh, this was still during the murky time where the Top 40 chart ranking criteria was archaic, with too much emphasis on CD single sales.

No this is when the Dance was hot and Fleetwood Mac was hot. Plus, Peacekeeper wasn't played from Say You Will and it was a great song. Nicks couldn't buy a hit if she wanted too. They won't play her on pop, even if you request her. Believe me, I've tried.

Okay, lets try this again.

Up until late 1998, the Hot 100 chart formula did not include airplay-only singles. Silver Springs was not released as a CD single in the United States- therefore, despite its massive airplay in Fall '97, it was ineligible to chart.

Landslide got a rather anti-climactic CD single release in the states in Spring '98 (I forget the exact date)- but by that point, pretty much all the momentum from The Dance (and any spins on Top-40 radio) had dried up. The only reason why it flirted with the Top 50 (I think it peaked at #51?) was the remix they threw on the single.

[gypsy4life]

The reason this seems so unlikely, is because the quality of music in the top 100 these days, is lacking, ummm EVERYTHING that made music great!!!
I mean, most of the top singers today, stripped of all synthetic help, cannot sing!!!! It's sad, but the days of turning on a top hits station and finding pure, good music, seem to be over!
So, the true artistry, and talent of people like Stevie Nicks, Fleetwood Mac, Heart, The Eagles, Lynyrd Skynyrd, and the like, would be completely and utterly overlooked and misunderstood by most of this generation!
..sorry for the rant...this is a HUGE soapbox for me.

I'm an 18 year old NZ born Australian and I slightly bed to differ.. Rumors just re surfaced in our catalogue charts to #4..

AUSTRALIA

TOP 50 CATALOGUE ALBUMS CHART - APRIL 19, 2010

12x Platinum "Rumours" in week 9 on the Catalogue Chart is down 3 spots to #9.

"Rumours" 2010 Catalogue Chart Run
#38 - Week of 2/22/10
#16 - Week of 3/1/10
#08 - Week of 3/8/10
#09 - Week of 3/15/10
#08 - Week of 3/22/10
#04 - Week of 3/29/10
#04 - Week of 4/05/10
#06 - Week of 4/12/10
#09 - Week of 4/19/10

Fleetwood Mac's 5x Platinum "The Very Best Of" moves down to #42 on the Catalogue chart. Total weeks on the Chart = 23.


Now thats nothing to go by but is after the Aus/NZ tour and Taylor Swift incedent.
I think there is a strong enough base of people that potentially could cause a no. 1 hit here in Aus.. Just prob not on the pop charts maybe Adult Contemporary Top 50.. But if an album/single comes out I don't doubt she'll crack the 10's... I dunno

[Stevie's~Prince]

Also you truly have no idea the people my age that appreciate Stevie and the Mac the way you do.. I agonize over being born in the 90's.. And missing years of Stevie.. I've had to cram the last 40 years into 7... As embarrassing as it is I cried when I was told to put my camera away.. I would've given the world to film her singing Storms in Melb.. And then when she didn't give us Silver Springs, again, I could've died (especially since I told everyone within a 10 metre radius there was 1 more song to go "Silver Springs").. I spend what little money I have left over at the end of the week to buy canvas pictures of her or any thing I can find Stevie.. She is the poet in my heart, my beauty.. Age does not discriminate against our girl.. There is a lot of us my age suffering from todays music scene and we cherish Stevie' Dylan', Jimmy Page, Petty, Hendix, Cat Stevens, Old Pink and all the rest.. I swear I'll do everything I can to take this music beyond Gen Y.. My son sings Stand Back and can recognize any pic or song of Stevie so theres a start... Big rant really but it COULD happen
