Default Fleetwood Mac Charting

I have a very egocentric view of the music industry. I don't really listen to the radio much or pay attention to what's "hot" or not. And when I love a song I listen to it all the time. So when I think back to the Mirage and Tango eras of Fleetwood Mac I just know that I turned up the radio any time one of the songs from those albums was on and I would record any music video show on VHS when they would show one of their videos, and then I'd play them over and over. So I really have no idea what songs were huge singles. In my mind Hold Me, Gypsy, Love in Store, Big Love, Seven Wonders, Everywhere and Family Man were all big hits because I had the singles, videos and 12" remixes (where applicable) and played them to death. So my question is, how big was each song? If they did Love In Store on the new tour would the general public get all excited or would they go (is that new?).

I think Everywhere and Seven Wonders are going to gain some traction because of current events.

Not sure Love In Store gets any traction. I love that song, though.

In the 1980's . Local radio played the crap out of those songs mentioned.Which I love . I listen to the local oldies/classic rock stations now and they probably will play FM more when they tour starts.

MTV and VH1 was great at the time without the crap reality shows.I was always tuned to those cable channels along with the Nashville Network to get my country music fix.I have no idea if all those VHS and Betamax tapes of Stevie and FM videos and interviews still playback anymore.

I'm not into the current mainstream music scene like I was 20 plus years ago myself.

I agree. I hope they will have those tunes in the setlist.

That puts it into more perspective for me. Thank you. I played the **** out of my Seven Wonders 12" and it's still in heavy rotation on my ipod, so for me it was a huge monster hit, even if it wasn't that huge in the mainstream. I was thrilled it was used in American Horror Story.

I like Love in Store, but would be surprised if it makes the set list. It was a one-tour song, performed only on the Mirage tour. Christine has better songs.

It would be nice if Seven Wonders was reinstated in the set. If so, don't expect the the shrill, cocaine-induced vocals from the record; It will be good, but different.

Family Man has never been performed, and likely never will.
