Yes it was one of the biggest albums that year. People did not want to buy into a Tom Petty solo album.....like why is this happening since he is the lead singer of the Heartbreakers. Stevie's friends Tom Petty and Don Henley had a HUGE year in 1989. The biggest of their careers. Don even won a Grammy. Yet Stevie released a dud. There was a time her stuff smoked their stuff on the charts. Full Moon Fever and The End of The Innocence both sold 6 million copies in 1989. Stevie's OSOTM sold 500k copies in 1989. It sold more and would eventually go platinum many years later.
Stevie does Petty songs in concert but I think the one that fits her best is Change of Heart. I can imagine her singing that. Its such a better groove than I Need To Know.
