Violet & Blue chart peak 40 years ago
40 years ago this week, "Violet and Blue" peaked at #19 on Billboard's Top Tracks/Mainstream Rock chart.
Unlike charting album tracks like "Enchanted" and "Nothing Ever Changes," this one is not listed in her Wikipedia chart discography. So maybe I'm not the only one who didn't know this track was sort of a hit on rock radio. 1984 was a great year in music, and she's in the company of some classic hits. The track's chart trajectory was 27-22-20-20-19-20-30-50. Here's the link to the FB chart history post: https://www.facebook.com/photo/?fbid...97663498463919 |

From that list my favorite is Thompson Twins' Hold Me Now. I love that song.

I remember when this was released. It was early 1984 and the local rock station says "we have new music coming up from Stevie Nicks." I thought the song was from her new album when I heard the song on the radio. The song was in good rotation on rock stations and even a few other stations. I remember going to my local record store and one pop station had it listed at #37 on their top 40 chart.
My best radio memory of Violet and Blue was hearing it right before Christine's One In A Million on WDVE Pittsburgh. Chris's album was at its peak this time in 1984.

I remember hearing this on heavy rotation on the Rock stations in the DC area. I also thought it might be from her upcoming album at first. It was definitely a “solo” year for the Mac with Christine’s “Got a Hold on Me” and Lindsey’s “ Go Insane” getting plenty of air play as well.
