Wikipedia article
"'Planets of the Universe'" is a song by American singer/songwriter Stevie Nicks. The song was first recorded as a demo during the recording sessions for the 1977 Fleetwood Mac album, 'Rumours', and this demo was included on the 2-disc 'Rumours' expanded re-release in 2004. The song earned Nicks a nomination for the Grammy Award for Best Female Rock Vocal Performance.
In 2001, Nicks released an edited version of the song (omitting almost 2 minutes of material) on her solo album 'Trouble in Shangri-La', having recorded a completely new full-length version in 2000.
"Planets of the Universe" was a number-one hit on the U.S. Hot Dance Club Play chart in August 2001.
The song was featured on the tv show Charmed.
Track listing
The song was released on 2 CD singles, one of which was a 6-track maxi-single with dance remixes and the full-length, unedited 2000 version. A double 12-inch vinyl set was also issued as a limited edition in the US and featured the track listing of the CD maxi-single. Both physical CD singles and the 12-inch vinyl release are no longer available from Reprise Records.
