10/10 - their finest moment along with Runaway.

I can't wait to see them in November again, they were so good supporting Shania.
 
13/10

15 points for being excessively bright, breezy, and relistenable

-2 points for wrecking their career in the long term by selling out the slither of Oirish identity they had
 
anyway Breathless like many of their singles up to that point is a TEN
 
Is it wrong I like the older, slightly SLUTTIER, keto-dieting, organic coffee-shop owner sister Irresistible? Although I'll never understand why they went with that as the second single, baffling!
 
I love Irresistible too. "So make-you-mine-able" is the kind of literary genius the world will never know again.
 
I always found it quite bland and their sharp, pristine celtic pop totally steamrolled over. It certainly has a hook, but it did swallow their previous sound whole a bit. I like it a lot more these days and ironically wish they had more like it.

Is Jim still performing with them or has be been ditched since he went down the conspiracy theorist rabbit hole?

He's still with them

He's a lot quieter on the conspiracies these days; there was some acknowledgement that it was negatively impacting the sisters, and he had to tone it down. Albeit he still likely believes in the tectonic plates / giant lizard people.

04. All The Love In The World - 42m
05. So Young - 34m
06. Only When I Sleep - 32m
07. Everybody Hurts [Unplugged] - 31m
08. Radio - 25m
09. Summer Sunshine - 19m
10. Don't Say You Love Me - 16m

11. Dreams - 14m
15. Irresistible - 9m
17. I Never Loved You Anyway - 8m
21. Give Me A Reason - 6m
22. Angel - 5.5m
25. Would You Be Happier - 5.1m
30. Long Night - 4.2m


I Do What I Like is the highest of their post-comeback material (#27 - 4.8m)

The completely inessential 2023 Fleetwood Mac karaoke covers languishing between 500k and 140k

Curiously in quite a few cases the Unplugged versions outperform the originals - Toss The Feathers, Old Town, Queen Of Hollywood, Little Wing. But not Radio.

Those numbers are awful, I thought they would have billions of streams at this point :(
 
Summer Sunshine seems to go down really well as one of their 'later hits' - I guess it was one of those ones that still got a lot of Capital/mainstream radio play despite being a tad past their heydey. I LOVE that and Angel
 
I think Dreams has suffered for the Fleetwood original becoming a modern-day staple. It's so PRESENT (in the UK it's a near-permanent resident in the top 100), why would anyone need to look up The Corrs' version instead?

You'd think Dreams would be in their top 10

It pisses me off the original version is nowhere to be found on American Spotify, the closest thing there is to the album version it's the live performance from Pavarotti & Friends 1998 (which also includes a jaw-dropping rendition of Viva Forever with noted vocalist Victoria Beckham).

Weird that Apple Musoc has something Spotify doesn’t :o It’s usually the other way around

I don't think it's just America

We only get the Todd Terry remix in the UK
 
The artwork is original...

I would be FUMIN if I shelled out for that and got the APPALLING Emma Buntonified version of I Never Loved You Anyway
