There is a similar theme I brought up in the Mirage thread about Stevie being used so little. IMHO, the Mac knew of Stevie's popularity and how the crowd roared when she spun around on stage or hit the bathroom when she left the stage. It annoyed them she sometimes would be referred to as the "lead singer' of Fleetwood Mac. I believe the band mostly from Lindsey went out of the way to make sure she was not seen controlling the band or as a lead singer. Stevie never had the lead single off any Fleetwood Mac album even after Christine left. Stevie never had the lead song off any album except one (Angel on Tusk which was a double album). Coincidence, I think not.
Things really got extreme during Mirage. Stevie just came off a hugely successful Bella Donna and the band was not going to budge but to give Stevie 3 songs. Stevie had incredible material in 1982. The Mac created this wonderful demo of Sleeping Angel that she ended up recording almost exactly like the Mac demo and giving it away to Fast Times soundtrack. She had amazing demos like Smile At You yet they were passed over for Oh Diane? If the band was objective they would make sure the best songs went on the album even if it meant taking one song from Lindsey and give another spot to Stevie. But no way in hell they were going to showcase Stevie's songs after Bella Donna.

I don't think she started a solo career because she didn't have enough songs on each album. She wanted the solo thing, no doubt about that. Besides, she had so much material it was impossible to put it all in the band's albums.
Please, no one pushed her to a solo career! She always wanted to be in charge and she realized the only way to do it was with a solo career.

Stevie dumped Lindsey. you may be the kind of person who will do everything you can to lift up and help the partner that dumped you and doesn't let you move on, but most people have hard time dealing with that. Lindsey has been very clear in interviews that it was hard to do.

Lindsey/Stevie Breakup
It is pretty well documented that their breakup started before they even joined FM (“cracks in the relationship”), before the hit records and the fame.

It's almost as if you don't have any knowledge of the timeline of Fleetwood Mac history as it relates to these two, their relationship, and it's long demise.
