    Deep Dive: 36 Years of Stevie Nicks The Other Side Of The Mirror

    Thirty six years ago, on May 11, 1989, Stevie Nicks released her fourth solo album, The Other Side of the Mirror, in North America. The UK and Australian releases followed later that month. While it may not hold the iconic status of Bella Donna or The Wild Heart, The Other Side of the Mirror remains one of Nicks’ most intriguing and underappreciated works. Produced by Rupert Hine, the album arrived on the heels of Fleetwood Mac’s Tango in the Night, and as the first band member to go solo post-Tango, expectations for Nicks were high. She delivered: the album peaked at number 10 in the U.S., number 11 in Canada and debuted at number 3 in the UK, marking her highest solo chart entry there to date. The album also achieved top 10 status in Australia and Sweden and landed in the top 20 in other european markets. The lead single, “Rooms on Fire,” was a world wide hit reaching the top 20 in multiple countries including number 16 in the US, number 9 in Canada and became Nicks’ first top 40 solo hit in the UK reaching number 16. Four singles were released from the album to varying degrees of success. “Long Way to Go” reached number 60 and “Whole Lotta Trouble” reached number 62 in the UK and number 22 in Ireland. “Long Way To Go” reached number 11 on the US Album Rock Tracks chart and number 65 in Australia. "Two Kinds of Love" and the Grammy nominated "Whole Lotta Trouble" both surprisingly failed to chart in the US. Artistically, The Other Side of the Mirror still stands tall. While often overshadowed by her earlier solo triumphs, the album holds a special place in her discography — especially among devoted fans who recognize its depth and atmosphere. There’s plenty of magic to discover on The Other Side of the Mirror.

    Fleetwood Mac 1975-1987 Celebrating 50 Years of this legendary era.

    A new incarnation of Fleetwood Mac debuted in the summer of 1975, including Mick Fleetwood, John McVie and Christine McVie, along with new members Stevie Nicks and Lindsey Buckingham. The group’s first album together, Fleetwood Mac (sometimes called “The White Album”), topped the Billboard album chart, spent more than a year in the Top 40 and sold more than five million copies in the U.S. thanks to songs like “Landslide,” “Say You Love Me,” and “Rhiannon.”     In 1977, the band followed up with the 21x Platinum record Rumours - considered among the greatest albums of all time. It won the GRAMMY® Award for Album of the Year and has sold over 40 million copies worldwide. Its unforgettable tracks “Go Your Own Way,” “Gold Dust Woman,” and the band’s first number-one smash, the Gold-certified “Dreams.”   The Grammy®-nominated double-album Tusk arrived in 1979, selling more than four million copies worldwide and introducing fans to hits like “Sara,” “Think About Me,” and the title track. Three years later, in 1982, Fleetwood Mac again topped the U.S. Album Chart for five weeks with Mirage. Along with hits like “Hold Me” and “Gypsy,” Mirage also features great album tracks like “Oh Diane” and “Straight Back.”    In 1987, Tango in the Night became the second-most successful album of the band’s career, selling more than 15 million copies worldwide with the massive hits “Everywhere,” “Big Love,” and “Little Lies.” In celebration of 50 years of this legendary era of Fleetwood Mac, these classic albums will be reissued on crystal-clear vinyl as a 6LP boxed set, a 5CD set, and digitally on March 28.
