1. After the 1975 album broke though & everyone was clamouring for the follow up, he got the lead off "Rumours" single (GYOW). 2. After "Rumours" conquered the world, I don't honestly think people generally were particulary crazy about the song "Tusk" but after that kind of massive success they enjoyed with "Rumours", they could've released ANYTHING as the "long awaiting single from the "Rumours" follow up album" & it would've made top 10. 3. Same could be said for "Big love" since MTV embraced the video & the band (at THAT time) & after the "5 years wait, the long awaited comeback single..." (etc.) Just some thoughts is all.

re: People not caring as much about Fleetwood Mac after Peter Green quit.
I'm sure some people became less interested in FM without Peter, but didn't Kiln House sell a lot more than Then Play On? |

The "charting" aspect really depends on who else's albums were released at what point in time. Hypothetically, Kiln House COULD have sold LESS units, yet made the charts because of a slow time of album releases overall, whereas Then Play On could've sold more UNITS yet not reached the charts at all because of the competition releasing albums in a relatively close time frame.

It's my own hypothesis, too, that the USC Trojan Marching Band helped propel "Tusk" (the song & the album) as much as any airplay did. They featured the song at halftime at all the USC games at the Coliseum that year & the next, & you have no idea what it was like to see 80,000 people stand & do their "Victory Sign" thingie when the band launched into its arrangement of "Tusk." It really got everybody pumped. In fact, "Tusk" probably got a bigger, better reception at the Coliseum that year than on the radio! Plus, Stevie & Lindsey showed up at the USC-ASU game in October, & those 80,000 people were doubly dazzled, oddly enough. There was just something about seeing Stevie do her baton majorette routine & watching Lindsey fake-conduct the band. |
