McVIE WITHOUT THE MAC (billboard mag sales #'s)
McVIE WITHOUT THE MAC
Hi Keith I was wondering what the sales have been for Christine McVie's new album "In the Meantime." I'm a long time Fleetwood Mac fan and was saddened that she was not part of the Mac's "Say You Will" CD and tour. I bought "In the Meantime" and think it's brilliant and shows a more "rocker" side to Ms. McVie, while still showing her light-pop that she has been providing to her fans for almost 40 years. Thanks, Patrick Hi Patrick, I too missed Christine McVie on the most recent Fleetwood Mac album, "Say You Will." Her new album, "In The Meantime," has sold just over 6,000 units in its first two weeks of release. The set was issued through Koch Records. It debuted at No. 32 on Billboard's Top Independent Albums chart in the Sept. 25 issue. www.billboard.com |

6000 copies in the first two weeks? Egads! And I can't even say I'm one of those since I got mine from amazon uk.

6,000 copies in two weeks is low. For comparison sake, Tim McGraw (not that he's in the same category, but just to compare sales.... His album a couple of weeks ago sold something like 700,000 in ONE week. |

Whoopee, big difference. Bigger sales doesn't mean better product either. I'd take Christine's album over that Mac cd any day of the week.
Sorry, I'm so sick of hearing about that cd. |

IMO, and JMO(so keep your rants to yourself), but I think Fleetwood Mac sucks without Christine. My cousin, who is only a mild FM fan, was over a few weeks ago, and was watching LIB(the first few songs). We needed to leave for dinner, and I said, "C'mon, were gonna be late". He said, "I'm just waiting to see a Christine song". I broke the news to him, and he said, "never mind then". He, too, had very little interest in a FM without Chris. I thought that quote was soooo funny: "I'm just waiting to see a Christine song" Me too.

You're right I never said sales has anything to do with quality--someone asked if the 6000 figure was really low? And yes it was...very very very low...thats ok though, I enjoy the album, I think there are about 6 great songs on it..the rest sounds like filler to me, but that's just my opinion..
Like I said she didnt have any high aspirations for this to be a commercial success...I bought it..you all bought it..who cares? But the fact is, the 6000 figure is incredibly low..especially considering all the people who said if Christine was with the Mac their sales would have been MUCH higher..I don't think it would have mattered much...I don't think "Say You Will" suffers any without Christine--and I dont think "In the Meantime" suffers a whole lot without the Mac, quality wise.. I think SYW is one of their best albums ever, just my opinion..dont have to agree with it...I think there are some excellent songs on ITM...but not enough to make it a SUPERB album Chris

I agree Chris. I also think that LB, SN, and CM together in FM produce superior work than they do on their solo stuff. AND - while I think the same for just LB and SN together, I think SYW would have benefited from CM because the five just have more magic IMO - I mean just look at The Dance. But, that is just my opinion AND I like CM's new disc

Homer, you should have put the Dance on when your cousin was at your house. There are lots of Christine songs on the Dance. |
