Stevie Nicks’ New Single Debuts on the US and UK Charts

Stevie Nicks’ New Single Instantly Debuts In The Same Position On Multiple Charts

Hugh McIntyre

Forbes

Stevie Nicks returned a little more than a week ago with “The Lighthouse,” her latest solo single. The Fleetwood Mac star’s fan base snapped up copies of the tune the moment it dropped, and they’ve collectively sent the song to multiple charts in the U.K. this week, immediately making it into something of a quick, if minor, hit.

“The Lighthouse” launches on both the Official Singles Sales and Official Singles Downloads charts this time around. Coincidentally, the tune is new at No. 48 on the two tallies.

It’s not entirely uncommon for songs to debut in similar spots on those two rankings, as they are both ranked based on pure purchases. Most sales of individual tracks take place on download storefronts like iTunes and Amazon, so it makes sense that new arrivals on the Official Singles Downloads list would also perform just as well–or, almost as well–on the Official Singles Sales roster at the same time.

“The Lighthouse” marks Nicks’ second solo hit on the Official Singles Sales chart. She debuted on the list of the top-selling songs in the U.K. in 2020. That year, “Edge of Seventeen” peaked at No. 7, and it still stands as her top placement.

Nicks’ latest offering marks her fourth career win on the Official Singles Downloads ranking. It’s her second-highest appearance, coming in ahead of the No. 72 high point that “Dreams” by Deep Dish reached years ago, as well as the No. 98 peak that “Show Them the Way” mustered.

“The Lighthouse” stands as the fifth-highest debut on the Official Singles Downloads chart, landing behind tracks from Kylie Minogue, Callum Beattie, Jack Savoretti and Miles Kane, and Josh Baker. On the Official Singles Sales list, Nicks claims the sixth-loftiest entrant. In addition to the five names mentioned above, The Veronicas also hit the tally with their years-old single “Untouched,” which reaches the list for the first time.

Nicks released “The Lighthouse” as a means to inspire discussions about women’s rights and the issue of abortion. For the moment, the track is a standalone single, as it’s not connected to any larger project–at least for the time being.

In the US, the single debuted on a couple of Billboard charts dated October 12, 2024:

Jason Kelce and Stevie Nicks Hint Christmas Collab

Jason Kelce and Eagles Pals Reunite for One Last Christmas Album

(Jason is the brother to Travis Kelce who is currently dating Taylor Swift.)

Ex-Eagle Connor Barwin, founder of the Make The World Better Foundation benefitting city parks — and perhaps the only pro athlete to hang out with Jelloman — has announced the coming of a third and final “Special” Christmas record.

Says 6ABC, A Philly Special Christmas Party will reunite Jason Kelce with his old teammates/current Eagles Lane Johnson and Jordan Mailata in the sound booth, and include contributions from Boyz II Men, Travis Kelce, and more TBA. Here’s where it would be fun to start a rumor that Taylor Swift is involved, but that’s already been shot down. As always, Charlie Hall of the War on Drugs will produce the record.

Combined, the previous two Philly Specials records raised three million dollars for charity. Think how much they’d make this time if Tay showed up to sing, like, “Jingle Bell Rock Girl” with the Dead Milkmen. Too bad she’s not cool and hates charity.

The album will be available on November 29th.

Today, Jason Kelce on his Instagram account hinted that Stevie may appear on the album. He posted the above photo and said the following:

"The crossover we didn't know we needed,"  "Coming soon to a Christmas album near you"

Stevie Nicks’ New Single The Lighthouse Number One in the US

Stevie Nicks’ New Single Rocks Its Way Into The Top 10

Hugh McIntyre

Forbes

Stevie Nicks has never been afraid to stand up for what she believes in, and she’s continuing to do so with her new single. The beloved musician dropped “The Lighthouse” on Friday (September 27), and it quickly became a bestseller in the U.S.

After hours of slowly climbing the American iTunes chart, “The Lighthouse” now appears inside the top 10 on the list of the bestselling tracks in the country. Nicks’ latest sits at No. 8, as of the time of writing.

Nicks claims one of four new top 10s on the iTunes ranking. She comes in behind Cody Johnson and Carrie Underwood’s “I’m Gonna Love You” and “Timeless” by The Weeknd and Playboi Carti. Just one rung following the Fleetwood Mac star come Timcast and Phil Labonte, who push their odd collaboration “Coming Home” into the important region.

“The Lighthouse” appears to be a standalone single, as no larger project has been announced yet from the star, and it is Nicks’ first new release of 2024. She joined Dolly Parton on “What Has Rock and Roll Ever Done for You” in 2023, and her cover of Buffalo Springfield’s “For What It’s Worth” dropped the year prior.

In a press release announcing “The Lighthouse,” Nicks’ team shared a statement from the singer-songwriter about the tune. The Grammy winner says, “I wrote this song a few months after Roe v. Wade was overturned. It seemed like overnight, people were saying ‘what can we, as a collective force, do about this…’ For me, it was to write a song.” She goes on to claim that when it comes to her latest cut, “I have often said to myself, ‘This may be the most important thing I ever do. To stand up for the women of the United States and their daughters and granddaughters—and the men that love them.’”

“The Lighthouse” was written by Nicks, Magnus Birgersson, and Vincent Villuis. The single was produced by the singer herself, as well as superstar producer Dave Cobb. Another powerhouse musician, Sheryl Crow, is credited as a producer as well, and she also provided background vocals for the song.

Nicks is scheduled to serve as the musical guest on the October 12 episode of Saturday Night Live. With a new single out, there’s a good chance she’ll introduce viewers to the song, which may help it once again when it comes to sales and streams, perhaps making the tune into a hit—if it hasn’t already become at least a minor one by that point.

Stevie Nicks Drops a Stellar Anthem for Women’s Rights

You’ll Get Chills Hearing Stevie Nicks’ New Women’s Rights Anthem Ahead of her appearance on Saturday Night Live, the icon drops the cathartic rocker "The Lighthouse"

By Angie Martoccio

Rollingstone

Stevie Nicks has logged on. The icon dropped “The Lighthouse,” a stellar anthem for women’s rights.

Co-written with Magnus Birgersson and Vincent Villuis, the track opens with Nicks’ vocals and subtle instrumentation, before unfurling into a full-blown cathartic rocker. “I have my scars/You have yours,” she sings. “Don’t let them take your power.”

In the powerful video below, Nicks stands inside a lighthouse, surrounded by iconic Stevie imagery (white doves and gothic candelabras) accompanied by female protest signs. Soon she fronts a powerful crowd of women on a turbulent beach, charging forward.

“I wrote this song a few months after Roe v. Wade was overturned,” Nicks said in a statement. “It seemed like overnight, people were saying ‘What can we, as a collective force, do about this?’ For me, it was to write a song. It took a while because I was on the road. Then early one morning, I was watching the news on TV and a certain newscaster said something that felt like she was talking to me — explaining what the loss of Roe v. Wade would come to mean. I wrote the song the next morning and recorded it that night.”

She continued: “That was Sept. 6, 2022. I have been working on it ever since. I have often said to myself, ‘This may be the most important thing I ever do.’ To stand up for the women of the United States and their daughters and granddaughters — and the men that love them. This is an anthem.”

“The Lighthouse” marks Nicks’ first new music since her 2022 cover of Buffalo Springfield’s “For What It’s Worth.” On Oct. 12, she’ll appear as the musical guest on Saturday Night Live, alongside Ariana Grande as host. It marks her first time on the sketch-comedy show since 1983.

Earlier this month, Nicks praised Taylor Swift’s viral post endorsing Vice President Kamala Harris, posting a similar photothat featured a dog instead of a cat. “As my friend @taylorswift13 so eloquently stated, now is the time to research and choose the candidate that speaks to you and your beliefs,” she wrote. She concluded the message with a cheeky dig at J.D. Vance, signing it “Childless Dog Lady.”

Stevie Nicks is raising her voice once again (People Interview)

Stevie Nicks Wrote New Pro-Choice Anthem After She Saw Roe v. Wade 'Taken Away': ‘I Find It Very Sad’ (Exclusive)

The music icon — who released her new song on Friday, Sept. 27 — has said "there would have been no Fleetwood Mac" if she hadn't gotten an abortion in 1979.

By Jeff Nelson

People

Stevie Nicks is raising her voice once again.

The rock legend released a new pro-choice anthem "The Lighthouse" — her first new original solo track in four years — on Friday, Sept. 27.

"Don’t close your eyes and hope for the best / The dark is out there / The light is going fast / Until the final hours," she sings. "Your life’s changed forever / And all the rights that you had yesterday / Are taken away / And now you’re afraid / You should be afraid.”

Nicks wrote the heavy, atmospheric song in 2022, after the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade that June, eliminating the constitutional right to abortion.

“I find it very sad, at 76 years old, I had to see Roe v. Wade taken away," Nicks tells PEOPLE exclusively in an email interview. "Two years ago, when I realized the consequences of women’s rights that are vanishing, I watched a lot of news, and I was like a sponge — it just went into me.”

Following the news, the Grammy winner and Rock & Roll Hall of Fame inductee channeled that sadness into song.

“One morning I woke up… which, I never write when I wake up in the morning, and all of a sudden went, ‘I have my scars, I have my scars,’ so I just grabbed my notebook, and I started writing the whole thing," she says. "It was a long-form poem, and I didn't know what kind of song that would be. I found an instrumental that I loved and within two or three days, I had recorded the song. I never redid the vocal — it's an original vocal — and it's taken me two years.”

Ever since, the Fleetwood Mac alum has been fine-tuning the track, working with some A-list collaborators along the way.

"This song has traveled around; it has been in the hands of many producers, of many musicians, of many people that have helped with it. Sheryl Crow, bless her, came in and was such a help with the production. Dave Cobb did the incredible classical guitar chords and was the first producer I worked with on the song," she says. "I’ve been touring solidly for two years, so the whole time, we've been working on this song. I never thought it would take two years to get it to the point where it was perfect.”

The topic of women's reproductive rights is a personal one for Nicks, who in 2020 revealed to The Guardian that she "would have had to walk away" from Fleetwood Mac if she didn't get an abortion in 1979. Without the procedure, "I’m pretty sure there would have been no Fleetwood Mac," she added at the time.

Now, she tells PEOPLE, “All the stories that we tell about the necessity for women's healthcare and the necessity for a safe and legal abortion option for women is absolutely necessary."

Nicks wrote the track on Sept. 26, 2022.

"It seemed like overnight, people were saying, 'What can we, as a collective force, do about this…' For me, it was to write a song," she said in a statement. "I have often said to myself, 'This may be the most important thing I ever do.' To stand up for the women of the United States and their daughters and granddaughters — and the men that love them. This is an anthem."

Nicks — who has two remaining dates of her latest tour — is set to perform on Saturday Night Live for the first time in 41 years on Oct. 12.

Fleetwood Mac Mirage Tour '82 (Live) - September release

Live recordings from Fleetwood Mac’s two sold-out shows at The Forum in 1982 during the Mirage Tour will be featured in a new collection from Rhino.

Mirage Tour ‘82 will be available from Rhino.com on September 20 in 3-LP, 2-CD, and digital configurations. Pre-order HERE. 

On the same day, a special crystal-clear vinyl edition will be available exclusively at Amazon.

Clear vinyl is available in the UK at DIG

This 22-track live collection features six previously unreleased recordings from the October 21, 1982 show, including favorites like “Landslide,” “Don’t Stop,” and “Never Going Back Again.” The other songs were recorded at the October 22 show and have appeared on various releases through the years, including Live Super Deluxe Edition (2021), Mirage Super Deluxe Edition (2016) and the 1983 concert video Mirage Live.

In September 1982, Fleetwood Mac embarked on a 31-city U.S. tour in support of Mirage, the band’s fourth consecutive multi-platinum album and third No. 1 in America. Both shows at The Forum were recorded, and Mirage Tour ‘82 combines songs from both into a single concert experience.

Mick Fleetwood, John McVie, Christine McVie, Lindsey Buckingham, and Stevie Nicks were at the height of their collective power at these shows, delivering a hyper-charged setlist filled with hits new and old. Standouts include “Songbird,” “Oh Well,” “Love In Store,” “Go Your Own Way,” and a version of “Landside” for the ages.

In the set’s liner notes, music journalist and songwriter Bill DeMain calls the collection “a riveting listen” and a reminder of a time when rock shows “were platforms to expand and reinvent songs for the stage, to let them breathe, to unleash different, wilder sides of a band.”

Listen to the previously unreleased live version of "Don't Stop" from Mirage Tour ‘82 below.

Stevie Nicks explains infection that led to hospitalization in Glasgow

Stevie Nicks opens up about infection that forced the postponement of two shows

Stevie Nicks took the stage in Glasgow, Scotland, on Wednesday after previously postponing her show in the city, and she explained to fans what kept her from performing in the first place.

In fan-shot footage posted to YouTube, Stevie revealed she got an infection that led to her hospitalization.  

“When I got here I was just really excited to be in Glasgow,” she told the audience. “And I don’t know what happened, I just got this weird infection, and it just went crazy.”

Stevie shared that she had gotten to Glasgow a few days early in order to enjoy the city and was staying at a castle when she realized something was wrong.

“I finally looked at my assistant, it was like 2 in the morning, and I said, ‘I think we need to go to emergency,’ and she looked at me and I just said, ‘I’m not kidding, I think we need to go to the hospital,'” she said.

The butler then sped Stevie to the hospital, where she wound up staying for two days. 

“They let me go back to the castle, and we canceled this show,” she said. “This whole tour I’ve been fighting what started here, and I would be damned if I wasn’t coming back here.” 

Stevie’s Glasgow show was originally supposed to take place on July 6, with the postponement blamed on “a recent leg injury requiring a minor surgical procedure that will need a few days of recovery time.” She also postponed a show in Manchester.

Wednesday night’s makeup show was the last date of Stevie’s European tour. She has two more U.S. shows on the books for 2024: Sept. 24 in Grand Rapids, Michigan, and Sept. 28 in Hershey, Pennsylvania.

Stevie's thanks to 'special' Scottish medical team

She commended the help and hospitality she was given by the medical team: “I was so looked after there.

“You are a really special country and a really special people.”

The ‘Edge of Seventeen’ singer comment that ‘she was happy as she got to stay in the castle a couple more days’ as she adored staying there and the country.

Nicks told the crowd how she has been "battling this the whole tour" to which the crowd gave her a rapturous round of applause.

Before she said with determination: “But, I would be damned if I wasn’t coming back here to play this show and finish this tour.”

'A big Scottish goodbye' from the rock legend

At the end of the emotional show, Nicks brought all her crew, band and friends on stage to thank them as the rescheduled date had meant it had turned out to be the last gig in her two-year tour.

Nicks said: “This is our last show, we’ve been on the road for two-years now and this is the final, final show."
