That only counts halfway. It was only a hit because Lindsey left the band.

That’s not true. I believe it hit the top ten before he made his announcement. It certainly got full promotion before he did so.

That's an inside joke that I would have imagined you would have gotten since you have been around here for awhile. There is a member here (that I love) that claims Tango's biggest hit was caused by the drama of Lindsey leaving the band. I am not trying to reignite that debate but saw an opportunity. Sorry

That will never stop bothering you.

Nuance is lost on some people.

It does not bother me at all. I find it very entertaining to this day. It fascinates me which is why I cant forget it. But my jokes are light hearted and sometimes he is the only one that gets them.
We are like Fleetwood Mac members when our writings about other members in a subtle ways provide an enjoyable read. Just like bwboy went after me for calling Stevie's house a drug den

That's entertainment!

Oh, ok. I have been here for years and years but remarkably clueless about a lot of those things.

First single off the album was the first Fleetwood Mac song released in five years. It went to #5. The next song, sung by the big star in the band, released before the drama, barely cracked the Top 20. The song in question was released after the big drama and its video was edited in a way that played up that drama. The song reached #4 and topped the MTV video charts while the new lineup was on tour. The final single reached #14 and had a rarely (if ever) played video.

However, some don’t want to believe the novelty, drama, and cool videos had anything to do with the success of the respective songs.

It's weird that Everywhere didn't crack the top 10. It was truly Everywhere on the radio. Had they done a video, it may have been a top 5 hit.

To this day, it's downloaded in the millions.
