What early Pre-Rumours era songs do you consider to be "hits"?
So on the Rumours forum I'm running a contest to find out the favorite non-hit Fleetwood Mac. Ledgies over there have varying opinion of what can be defined as a "hit". Do you go by the songs that were released as singles and charted well, how well and which charts, what if the song is recently discovered and now is well-liked?
So post the songs you feel shouldn't be eligible in the favorite non-hit song contest. Thanks! |

In the UK that would be 'The Official Charts Company' as reported on BBC Radio - it's pretty simple for stuff prior to digital downloads. A Single is defined as a recording released to the public with no more than four tracks and the total running time being under 20 minutes (from memory...it might be very slightly different). For example obviously Albatross was a hit. But a track that was released as a single and didn't crack the top 40 wasn't. You might like to tighten the definition as to which country you are in...for the USA it would be the main Billboard chart, for example, but a hit is still usually defined as "top 40" The Guinness Book of Hit Singles is a good starting point. |

So here's what I'm thinking should be considered early Pre-Rumours era hits...
Shake Your Moneymaker Black Magic Woman Need You Love So Bad Albatross Man of the World Oh Well The Green Manalishi Also I'm not sure about the Christine/Welch era since it seems that none of their songs charted.

"Shake Your Moneymaker" was a hit in Norway. It was released as a 1968 single, which I got hold of recently.

...if such a jam really did take place. It's become sort of legendary but I think there are real doubts about it happening...or at least about it being anywhere near four hours long
