Landslide - the song that just keeps giving Stevie money.

She has made a fortune off that one song. It's the gift that keeps on giving.

I'm no really thrilled either. Its just for the money and/ or publicity, imo.

Advertisers are paying upwards of $3.7 million just to air their spot during the big game, major synchs can fetch anywhere from $100,000 to upwards of $1 million, depending on the artist, number of territories airing the ad, the length of the commercial "flight," or airtime, and whether the song has been synched previously.

One synch likely on the upper tier of that spectrum is Stevie Nicks’ “Landslide,” which was commercially licensed for the very first time for Budweiser’s "Clydesdale" spot, which debuted online early Thursday. “We knew she was very protective,” Paul Chibe, Budweiser’s VP of marketing, says of Nicks’ tentative approach to synchs, “but when she saw the script she felt it was an appropriate presentation, that it was an elevation of the music and not something that would take away from it.”

I like the commercial, it was very sweet. I teared up.

Landslide's already been played/covered to death anyway... how much more could a commercial hurt.

I think its great for her. The commercial is really cute too.

Good way to build up Jessica's inheritance, Mama. Too cute.....

What...
 

I love about landslide..

It's a song about life.. And the seasons.. And life changes..

What I like about this ad.. It is surrounded by too much love..

I wonder just how much Stevie will rake in for this.

Get that $$$, Stephanie.

Right. That doesn't tell me how much Stevie is actually getting though. :lol: $100,000 to a million is a pretty big range.

I don't LOVE the ad, but I like it. :thumbsup:

I'm sure its around a million, they even said in the article it was probably on the upper side. Budweiser also new that Stevie was protective of the song. They paid her a mint I'm sure.

Put me in the http://i293.photobucket.com/albums/m...psda88921f.gif column.

well now we know the mindset of Stevie's team of advisors.... they see a limited window of remaining time to make money for/from Stevie and they're going for it. It's like them all telling her not to make an album, there's no money to be made anymore because of the big bad internet... And she listened, until she decided she needed to keep making music for her *soul* and not just for the bucks. She needs to listen to her soul more often.
I don't know how many people she actively supports-- I'm sure it's a lot and her overhead costs are ongoing, but...if she's been investing wisely all these years she should be very well off. (maybe some of her investments took big hits in the recession??)
