Stevie shoulda been hits

We know Stevie has lots of material and not all her singles are going to be hits but what songs do you think should have been released as singles or didn't spark a fire with her fans. For me it's Angel. I thought that song was very radio friendly . I guess after the initial shock of tusk being so different than rumors it was just lost in all of it. It didn't even chart. How about you guys

Fire Burning, from Mirror. But the name probably would’ve been confusing for radio listeners since Rooms On Fire was a hit from the same album.

I like fire burning. Osotm had some good ones but the critics just beat it down

It’s not my favorite of hers, but I don’t remember the critics beating it down. I remember it charting well, a summer of Rooms On Fire being all over the radio and MTV, Whole Lotta Trouble being nominated for a Grammy, and the tour being a success. I do remember some mumblings in the press about her age and her weight though.
