On July 27, 1981, Stevie Nicks released her debut solo album titled Bella Donna. She was riding high off the tremendous success of Fleetwood Mac’s back-to-back Platinum albums Rumours and Tusk, which were released in 1977 and 1979 respectively. Those two albums spawned seven top 40 hits on the Hot 100 chart, including a number one for Dreams in 1977.
Bella Donna went 4x Platinum and topped the Billboard 200 album chart. All four singles released from the album were top 40 hits on the Hot 100 chart including two top ten hits for Stop Draggin’ My Heart Around (with Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers), which peaked at number three, and Leather and Lace (with Don Henley), which peaked at number six.
The third single, Edge of Seventeen peaked at number 11 on the Hot 100 chart and number four on the Rock chart. It was also her first top ten on the AC chart, peaking at number ten in 1981. The fourth and last single from the album, After the Glitter Fades peaked at number 32 on the Hot 100 chart.
