Fleetwood Mac Asks America Online Members To 'Say You Will' Be the First to Hear Their New Music

NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--March 4, 2003--

AOL Music Names Fleetwood Mac March Artist of the Month and Features

the Exclusive Global Debut of "Peacekeeper," the First Single from Band's Highly Anticipated New Album, Say You Will, to be Released on

Reprise Records, April 15

Song to Be Offered Through New MusicNet on AOL Music Subscription

Service

America Online, Inc. the world's leading interactive services company, and Reprise Records, today announced that legendary rock band Fleetwood Mac has secured the highly coveted spot as AOL's March Artist of the Month. As part of this distinction, AOL Music will feature a host of exclusive opportunities to experience new music from the band including an AOL Music First Listen of "Peacekeeper," the first single from Say You Will (their first studio album since 1986, set for release on Reprise Records, April 15, 2003), an intimate Sessions@AOL performance and a pre-release CD Listening party where fans can hear the new album in its entirety before it is in stores.

"Fleetwood Mac created a sound that has proven to stand the test of time. Their contribution to rock music cannot be understated," said Evan Harrison, Executive Director of AOL Music. "The chance to debut their new work, plus offer fans an original reunion performance is undeniable proof that AOL Music is the place to go for the most eagerly anticipated music."

Fleetwood Mac made history in the mid-Seventies with the release of such era-defining albums as Fleetwood Mac, Rumours and Tusk. Their catalog of smash hits - from "Don't Stop" to "Rhiannon" to "Go Your Own Way" to "Landslide" (currently a Top 20 hit for the Dixie Chicks) and beyond - constitutes a soundtrack for our times. As fresh and original today as when they first defined the rock & roll idiom, it is that same creative chemistry that continues with Say You Will.

Highlights of this extensive promotion include:

-- Starting at 12:01 AM EST, Tuesday, March 4, the band's new song

"Peacekeeper" will be available exclusively to AOL members

worldwide at AOL Keyword: First Listen. For 24 hours, AOL will be

the only place fans can listen to this new song. Starting

Wednesday, March 5, the song will also be made available to Web

music fans at aolmusic.com.

-- Starting March 5, "Peacekeeper" will be available on MusicNet on

AOL, which is currently available with a free-trial subscription.

The song will be available to stream, download and -- for

subscribers at the Premium tier -- burn on MusicNet on AOL before

it is for sale in stores.

-- The band recorded an exclusive Sessions@AOL performance and

interview. They performed new songs, revisited classic hits,

updated fans on the latest news from the band and answered

questions from AOL members around the world. The Fleetwood Mac

Sessions@AOL will be available exclusively to AOL Members in

mid-March at AOL Keyword: Sessions@AOL or AOL Keyword: Fleetwood

Mac.

Additional highlights of the Fleetwood Mac Artist of the Month campaign include a CD Listening Party where members will have the exclusive chance to hear the full album, Say You Will, in its entirety one day before it is available in stores. AOL Music will also feature a Fleetwood Mac photo gallery, a celebrity DJ station on Radio@AOL that showcases Fleetwood Mac's favorite tunes and exclusive behind the scenes footage from the making of the album. What's more, on March 6, AOL Broadband subscribers will enjoy footage from "The Dance," Fleetwood Mac's acclaimed DVD concert, on AOL's weekly series Broadband Rocks.

Well, it did when I first played it.

It appears that I'm not the only one who made that mistake.

So, is it some kind of computer generated guy (like the AOL "You've got mail" voice)? Oh well.

Thanks for posting the article, Joe! It's too bad I dropped AOL. Now, I won't be able to view the Sessions part when it's available.

Hey don't start no **** boy

, I've been in enough arguments already!

You're welcome Karen and thanks for being my "guardian angel" lately.

I'm not sure if the voice is computer generated but it does seem "AOL related", not our dear Lindsey.

Oh well , let's just enjoy this new music by the Mac all.

My first thought about the 55% 36% 9% approval rating is that it's pretty good. I mean, consider how diverse music tastes can be. The fact that over half of those who hear it love it, speaks pretty well.

However, I'm saying this without knowing anything about the voting process. Can you vote more than once?

Rainman · #36 03-04-2003, 08:49 PM

oops, I got that wrong. 55% like it. 35% love it. Actually, that's amazing. 91% of those who hear it either like it or love it.

Yikes. That is impressive.

No you can't Rainman. It's one of the more "scientific" polls. I too am impressed with the results....a very good showing indeed. The Fleetwood Mac page is right up on the front, so it's not like you have to search for it or anything. I would imagine it's a good sampling of people with a wide variety of tastes in music.

The more I listen to this song the more I love it...WTG Mac!

AGREED COUGH COUGH! I sent as much to the admins, but it's AOL that is doing it, and whats worse is they don't even reduce the quality a bit, this is CD quality the wave file was 42.1 meg. I smashed the hell out of it when I put in mp3, so it wouldn't take a year to DL but.....
