Starting with "Whenever I Call You Friend," and continuing with "Stop Dragging My Heart Around" and "Leather and Lace," Stevie was able to establish herself as an entity outside of the band by singing with other rock stars. Lindsey and Christine were too busy making Fleetwood Mac albums to establish themselves outside of the band that way, which is exactly why they should have called "LB/CM" Fleetwood Mac and should have gone on the road with Mick and John as Fleetwood Mac. |
The album is at #168 on the Billboard 200 in its third week (17-95-168).
I'm surprised it hasn't had a bit more staying power than that, given they're on tour. Maybe it'll pick back up now that they're in full swing. UK numbers, on the other hand, wow. I can't think of another FM-related project that's had that kind of staying power on any chart, anywhere, since - well, Tango! |
I think some fans are stuck in a time warp, still measuring the band's chart success on the same scale as 1977. So the rankings today are always going to be disappointing, if it's not Top 10. Why not enjoy the music without imposing unrealistic expectations for yourself and the band?

The album exits the UK Top 20 for its 5th week on the UK albums chart but only just, slipping 8 places to #24. This is still good considering the current industry and shows the album is still selling well here. BBC Radio 2 have finally gotten rid of Red Sun from their playlist so I expect the album to drop further at a more considerable rate from now on. Unless they add another track from the album to their playlist which is possible.
Anyway, its UK chart run and sales is as follows: Week 1: #5 - 19,147 copies Week 2: #10 - 10,462 copies (29,609 copies) Week 3: #17 - 4,738 copies (34,347 copies) Week 4: #16 - NOT AVAILABLE - approx 5,000 (>39,000 copies) Week 5: #24 - NOT AVAILABLE - approx 3,500 (>42,500 copies) |
The album drops quite considerably on the UK chart this week largely due to the fact that BBC Radio 2 has dropped Red Sun from its playlist. It falls 23 places this week to #57 for its 6th week on the chart overall.
