Default Reunted Mac Record Sales Soar (Hollywood Reporter)

http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/new...c-sales-693923

Reunited Fleetwood Mac's Music Sales Surge

7:26 AM PDT 4/5/2014 by Keith Caulfield, Billboard, Hollywood Reporter

The act saw its album sales grow by 33 percent in the week ending March 30.

Fleetwood Mac's music sales have surged, thanks to the publicity generated by the group's reunion with singer/songwriter Christine McVie.

The act, which appeared on NBC's Today show on March 27 and gave a number of high-profile press interviews, saw its album sales grow by 33 percent in the week ending March 30, according to Nielsen SoundScan. The group's catalog of albums sold 10,000 copies for the week -- up from the 8,000 in the week previous.

Their biggest selling album for the week was the 1988 release Greatest Hits, which re-entered the Billboard 200 at No. 200. On the Top Pop Catalog Albums chart, it returned to the chart at No. 32.

Fleetwood Mac's digital song sales also grew by 52 percent, rising from 20,000 to 30,000. Their largest seller for the week was "Landslide," which moved 4,000 downloads (up 45 percent).

EARLIER: Christine McVie Reunites With Fleetwood Mac

Billboard first officially confirmed McVie rejoining Fleetwood Mac in January, by way of the act's publicist, Liz Rosenberg.

McVie joined the band in 1970 after marrying the group's bassist, John McVie. She continued on with the group for the next 28 years as a principle songwriter, vocalist and keyboardist.

McVie wrote some of the act's biggest Billboard Hot 100 chart hits, including "Say You Love Me" (No. 11 peak, 1976), "Don't Stop" (No. 3, 1977), "You Make Loving Fun" (No. 9, 1977), "Hold Me" (No. 4, 1982), "Little Lies" (No. 4, 1987) and "Everywhere" (No. 14, 1988).

The current incarnation of the group -- with Lindsey Buckingham, Mick Fleetwood, John McVie, Christine McVie and Stevie Nicks -- will kick off the On With the Show concert tour on Sept. 20, 2014. It will be the first time the five have toured together since 1998.

Why don't they just attach a new album to a Rumours album. Then, maybe it would get some attention.

Has anyone paid attention to what Wu Tang is doing? They are releasing ONE album. And I mean literally one copy of it. They are selling that to the highest bidder who can do anything he/she/it wants with it. They can sell it. They can hoard it. Whatever. I think Wu Tang already got an offer for $5,000,000 for it. The buyer will receive a digital version of the album.

Then, they are renting venues for listening parties and they will play the vinyl version of the album at these venues. And that's how the rest of the fans get to hear it. They are selling the album to the public at large.

Now, if FM did something like that, we would have a fit. Remember the fights here when someone had Stevie's demo and wouldn't share it? It was like when they hung Mussolini. So, FM selling one album to someone and us not getting to have it would cause nothing but anger.

But I think it's an interesting marketing scheme on Wu Tang's part. I think there are 31 songs on the new album.

Also, after that ONE album is sold, I think they're going to release an entirely different album right away and sell it to everyone.

All the more reason for WB to remaster & re-release 'Mirage' & 'Tango' ASAP!

(I know, I know... my record is skipping.)

they need to have it first. actually if they had it about done right now they could ride this publicity, do a few more high-profile shows like Today, and the new album would generate a lot of interest, relatively. they could go to Fallon for a few days, or something. SNL for the close of the season show.

but, they don't have a new album yet. and there seem to be some infighting with not everybody on board for it, so they are not even sure if they will have it.

You guys think all this has boosted Stevie and Chris's solo album sales?

Possibly Stevie's. Probably not Christine's.

Stevie yes...Fleetwood Mac yes...Christine probably not so much...The surge in sales is probably just as much a by product of Stevie's current media presence as Christine's return...Every time Stevie is in the media there's a bump in sales and Stevie is very busy right now with the "ACM awards" the "RRHOF" her BMI "Icon honor" and her "Tonight Show" appearance oh and lets not forget her collaboration "Golden" with Lady Antebellum on iTunes...

This makes no sense. Greatest Hits comes in at 200 and that is boosting records? Greatest Hits has charted over last few years and higher than this. As has Very Best of. And has Rumours (as high as 11 after Glee and 47 a couple of months ago). This is just funny to me.

But - this mightbe a good time to recertify.
