It really strikes me that Tango in the Night never gets any mentions. I mean, am I wrong in thinking that Tusk was only huge because of the leftover Rumours craze? Not to demean Tusk or anything, but it's only two times platinum (according to RIAA) and as I recall not critically accepted at all at the time. Out of 20 songs, only two spun off as top 20 hits. Meanwhile, Tango maybe wasn't so critically acclaimed either, but it DID spawn four top twenty hits out of twelve. That means one fourth of this album was strongly successful. Again, I'm not criticizing Tusk (even though it admittedly is my least favorite), and ya know, it might be wrong to say Tusk was only huge because of Rumours. My point is that Tango was seemingly a lot bigger, and yet it is seemingly forgotten.
