I don't know. It is a good album, but I don't know that any of the songs there are 'hits' in the sense that they would have wide popular appeal and be played on high rotation on radio stations. It just doesn't feel like that kind of album, with those kinds of songs.
I love Suzanne Vega's music and all her albums, but I do find Days of Open Hand a kind of very bleak record, and the 'Book of Dreams' single not particularly representative of the album. I kind of wonder if Vega was a little unhappy around tht time, but I have no idea.
And music tastes of the public change over time. The Top 40 every decade since 1970 sound very different. It's very generational, it's also very reactionary against previous generations.
