Everywhere and You Make Loving Fun should have been on this list.
I just looked this and this chart is stupid.
I Wanna Dance with Somebody is #1
Call Me Maybe and Since You Been Gone are in the top 10.

It is a dumb, ridiculous list.

Agreed, this is a stupid list. I hate these things.

And I know I’m alone in this, but I don’t even find Dreams to be Stevie’s best song on Rumours.

I don't pay too much attention to these either. They're usually awful.

It's not the best song. It's the most popular Fleetwood Mac song, worldwide. If you play FM songs to any non fan, millenials & centennials included, the highest probability of recognize a song, or heard before at least once, is definitely Dreams. Again, I'm thinking worldwide. Everywhere, Dont Stop and Gypsy probably recognized but some too, but not as much as Dreams.

In terms of popularity (including outside the fans, beyond Generation X), Dreams is kind of the "Hotel California" or the "Stayin’ Alive" of Fleetwood Mac.

I would say that GYOW is their Hotel California.

And here I thought Don’t Stop was their Hotel California, especially after Clinton made it his presidential theme song.

Don't Stop is pretty close to an anthem. But GYOW is the band's most forward rock song that charted. Rock stations still play it even if they may not play much else from the band. The band sensed that too because they made it their closer. Even in Mick's book (where are you Villavic) he said they would turn up the volume during Lindsey's guitar solo in Japan and blast them out of the arena during the guitar jam.
I love Lindsey's playing but he always saw himself as so many other things than a guitar player. The songs from Lindsey I like the most are when he jams.
Long story short, its their most guitar and rock orientated single. Post Rumours the band switched over to folk rock, soft rock, and pure pop.

Which charted higher? Or, was it a tie?

Don't Stop sounds far more dated than GYOW.

Yep, I agree. And Go Your Own Way has always been the song that represented Fleetwood Mac to me the most. My top 10 list may vary day to day, but GYOW is always my #1.

That acoustic guitar IS WHAT MAKES GYOW work. Something about that part really makes it feel fresh.

He got that talent leech surgically removed from his back(and front).
