Falling off:
-- 21 21 Seal - Secret (16)


Another slow week. The top 5 remains the same as does 11-18.

The lone debut this week is the latest from Fleetwood Mac's Stevie Nicks. "Secret Love" marks her first appearance on the chart in 6 years, and her first top 30 hit as a lead artist since "Sorceror" peaked at #21 back in November 2001.

"Secret Love" is the first single off Stevie's new solo CD "In Your Dreams" which hits stores May 3rd. Just like I said last week with Doobie Brothers, this is Stevie's 7th solo AC top 30 hit. Her biggest hit on the chart was her duet with Don Henley "Leather and Lace," which peaked at #10 back in 1981. As a guest vocvalist, she peaked at #9 on Kenny Loggins' "Whenever I Call You Friend" back in 1978.

Two classics acts, both on their 7th AC hit, both had their biggest hit peak at #10. Very interesting here!!!

Does this current lineup of the Doobie Brothers feature Michael McDonald?

[johnm1120]

It does not. I'm not sure who is currently the frontman, but he hasn't been an official member of the band for about 15 years now. He does however make occasional live guest appearances.
