In honor of Stevie Nicks’ birthday (May 26), we’ve rounded up her biggest hosts on the Billboard Hot 100 songs chart.
The recap not only includes her solo material, but also the Fleetwood Mac songs she wrote and sang lead vocals on.
In the top spot we have her collaboration with Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers, “Stop Draggin’ My Heart Around,” which peaked at No. 3 on the Hot 100 chart on Sept. 5, 1981 and is also Tom Petty’s biggest hit on the chart. The track, which was Nicks’ debut solo single and lead track off her first album, Bella Donna, spent 21 weeks on the list, more than any solo or Fleetwood Mac songs. Bella Donna also reached No. 1 on the Billboard 200 album charts.
The No. 2 spot on the list belongs to Nicks’ quintessential Fleetwood Mac song, “Dreams,” which gave the band their only No. 1 hit. The ethereal track experienced an uptick in popularity since its 1977 release, when it soundtracked a TikTok of a man cruising on a skateboard and drinking cranberry juice that went viral in 2020.
Stevie Nicks’ top 10 Billboard Hot 100 hits chart (below) is based on actual performance on the weekly Billboard Hot 100 ranking. Songs are ranked based on an inverse point system, with weeks at No. 1 earning the greatest value and weeks at No. 100 earning the least. Due to changes in chart methodology over the years, certain eras are weighted to account for different chart turnover rates over various periods.
