Is Hold Me the Mac's most successful single?

Big Love was the biggest surprise to me. I'm guessing TITN being a hugely popular album had some impact. Being reinvented on The Dance and Lindsey continuing to play it in his solo shows more than likely made it more "successful".

Landslide didn't surprise me at all. I'd say it's one of the most recognizable FM songs. Although it was only released as a FM single in the 90s, it became hugely popular with the Dixie Chicks cover and let's not forget that Budweiser commercial.

Point of order: The version of “Big Love” that appeared on The Dance was what he opened his 1993 shows with.

Ah, ok. thanks Steve. I didn't know that.
