But it was the 80s. Video clips ruled. So Gypsy was meant to be a hit from the first time it was aired in MTV.

However back to the original conversation. Pretend you are listening to Mirage for the first time. What song jumps out at you as the lead single. IMHO Hold Me jumps in front of everything. Warner Bros was right because the song holds the record for most weeks in the top 10 and on the charts. It got log jammed at #4 for 7 weeks! Besides the other weeks in the top 10, it was at #4 for almost 2 months straight. If Hold Me was released about a month earlier, I think it would have claimed that #1 spot.

They don't understand when the moon is full and bright, that's why they hide behind the mask but in Time they will dance then say they will.

I guess EOTW wasn't even a single, but I remember I felt it could be a hit when I played the album at home. And back to Tango, the title song was one of my favorites. I didn't see that song as a single or top hit in radios, but I great successor of I'm So Afraid in concerts. Unfortunately I never saw that.

The band was not getting along and barely made it through 2 video shoots. But I always thought if they even did a basic and cheap video for Love In Store (perhaps a live lip sync), the single would have charted much better. 1982 was peak for video play on MTV. It was almost unheard of to have a hit single with no video back then. It sucks we only got one more tour with Chris and Lindsey together. Isn't It Midnight and Tango In The Night would be stellar live tracks. Without those 2 songs, the album would all be programmed synth pop. Its nice to hear a little girth on there. Sadly it was the seasoning or appetizer and should have been the main course.

Gypsy is one of the most beautiful Fleetwood Mac songs ever, and one of the most beautiful songs ever, in general. It really showcases how amazing the five of them were/are as artists and musicians. But I can see why Hold Me was a bigger hit. Hold Me was a catchy pop tune. It was perfect for the early MTV era. And I will compliment Lindsey and Christine here by saying that only Fleetwood Mac can make a song that is 90% chorus and the chorus only being two words repeated several times sound so good and so catchy.

I guess I'm alone in this - but my fav Tango-era Stevie song is "Joan Of Arc" - that 80s weird dark wave sound. That def would go on my Tango track list.

After Seven Wonders, Joan of Arc is probably the best Tango in the Night era Stevie song. It's a shame Joan of Arc never appeared on the deluxe edition.

Hi! The only change I would make on the album is You & I, Part I, instead of When I See You Again...that would made it a better album!
