Wow, Christine really racked up on Tango. Little Lies was Everywhere.. and Everywhere was everywhere.. Wish they had a real MTV video. LB was probably gone by then and that's why they did the generic one.

I do remember Hold Me during the Mirage period. They played the sh*** out of that. Gypsy, too.

Still to this day absolutely perplexed as to why Gypsy was such a relative flop as a single. Half the sales of Hold Me. It had everything- great song, lovely lyrics, evocative video. 900,000 copies. Not to be sniffed at but nowhere near what it should have been shifting. Odd.

And yet we still hear it on the radio. Hold Me keeps popping up in my life, lately.

I was in Vegas and I heard it in the Casino last week.

Wow- don't take this the wrong way, but are you sure the Greatest Hits album sold over 19 million copies? That just seems unbelievable to me!

Nope, I can well believe it. There seems to be a copy on every jukebox in every pub I've ever been in. There's 10 copies at every car boot sale I've been to. It sold a lot.

No offense taken. Surprised me as well. I don't know the source of the information. It is labeled album sales worldwide. Could be a combination of CD sales, digital downloads and streaming. The information is on page 30 of the link.

It makes total sense that the "GH" album has sold that much. The population of "casual music fans" and "non music buyers" far exceeds that of music aficionados and fanatics.

A greatest hits CD (cassette, or vinyl) appeals to those people who only have to buy the CD ONE TIME to own all the radio hits that they are most familiar with in regards to a particular artist. They don't care about the individual albums. They don't care about the "deep cuts" that were never played on the radio. It's all about spending as little money as they can on as many popular and familiar things.

I believe it. It was on the charts forever. And then it re-entered the charts when they toured. It was huge.

Oh Well and Go Your Own Way were Fleetwood Macs #1 hits in the Netherlands.
