The recent box set of the pre-Nicks albums should have spiked some of those numbers especially Mystery To Me. It would be great for its 50th anniversary to finally get an updated number. It would warm my heart to see it go platinum.
The Dance and the reinvigorated draw of the band spiked all album sales. Its what also dragged Stevie's OSOTM over the platinum line a few years later when her solo career started to pack the house again. Her Street Angel tour had her playing the Ohio Fair. Her second leg was never announced but was cancelled. The year of Enchanted one year post Dance had her packing arenas again. The sales numbers are so out of wack. In 2004 Chris's In The Meantime sold 50k copies. Not successful at all. However today that would be not too shabby. Did not Buck/Vie sell about 50k copies during its early release and debuted in the top 20. It just shows how things have changed so much.
What I have never seen official numbers on is Chris's 1984 solo album. I think it only reached about #26 on the charts and I don't think it went even gold in its debut year. I would think it went gold by now? However its something that we will never know. I have tried for years to find sales numbers on that album. It had some radio success like Law and Order but did not sell well. What are the numbers on Law and Order? There is only one interview (that was posted year about a year ago) was when Tango was just released and Chris was interviewed. She was asked about her solo album and she said that she needed to be honest that she was disappointed with the lack of success the album had. I think Lindsey expressed similar aspects about Law and Order. While they had a hit single and got recognized as a solo artist, the album did not sell or chart well which sort of irked both of them.
