IYD managed 16 weeks on the Billboard 200 due to all of the shows she was on at the time. I remember that whenever she was on say 'American Idol', the album would be back up to #150 or so. If this album gets no more promotion then it's going to be a pretty steep decline in sales from now on. We will be able to see how no promotion is affecting the albums sales next week. If it is still within the top 40 then I predict it'll last about 6 weeks in total on the Billboard 200. If it is at about #60 or lower then it'll last only a couple of weeks. I predict that it'll be at around #35 next week and it'll last about 6 weeks on the Billboard 200. I don't think it'll get to 100,000 very easily. I hope it does though! |

24 Karat Gold selling @26K is great! It's exactly where, initially, I expected her first week sales to be 3.5 yrs after IYD. Record sales (as everyone should understand) are even more is the toilet than 2011, so most acts are selling half of what they sold previously. So the sheer fact that she pulled off another top 10 record is really incredible -- Her 6th solo top 10 album & her 7th top 10 album with FM = 13 top 10 records between solo & FM - I wonder if that's a record (solo & group top 10 albums)??
Pre-promotion was decent. Post-promotion will be non-existent. Esp. since it's now all about the FM tour. But , make no mistake aboit it, 24 Karat Gold will be an important part of Stevies' recording legacy |

Sales are rubbish at the moment, but a top 10 album is a top 10 album. Go Stevie!

It's all about her legacy now. 24 Karat Gold is IMPORTANT in the breadth of Stevies solo recording catalog. What other 66 something are still hitting the top 10 with original material without having to resign her creativity doing a cringe-worthy predictable "duets", or "covers" ?? They're are only a handful, and even less woman in that category.

Who is saying her career is going down in flames?

Bob Seger is predicted to sell about 50,000 copies of his new album next week. I wonder if he's been promoting it? What really gets to me is the fact that if Stevie promoted this album then it could've sold about 40,000 and would've gone top 5 which would've made her look fantastic and would've shown how incredibly popular she still is. (Though top 10 is still pretty good). The fact is, 26,000 copies of '24 Karat Gold' were bought from people who either heard a song off of the album and liked it or from people who just like Stevie and the album itself. It wasn't Stevie trying really hard to promote it or someone pushing the fact that 'The new album from Stevie Nicks is out now. BUY IT!!!' The fact that Stevie can put together an album in two months, go on a phenomenally successful tour, throw out a solo record, do very little/no promotion for it and it goes top 10! Now THAT is pretty cool. |

Top 5 doesn't matter. Top 10 only matters with singles. Albums are different - Top 10 does not count as much. Longevity counts. |

And I doubt this album will have much longevity. There's no way of guessing how long it'll stay around on the charts but I hope her legendary status will help the album stay around for a while.

Songs for Seagull by Joni Mitchell never went gold. Many great albums have not. Street Angel went Gold. Doesn't make sense. |

I am thrilled - and Stevie should be too. No need to repeat all of the great comments on this thread, but bottom line for me is that the record industry is dying a slow death in terms of album sales. For Stevie to create, as she correctly called it, a great album, in such a short period of time, and for it to debut in the Top 10 while she's on a world tour with her band, is truly a great accomplishment. It's an important record for her legacy, and hopefully a sign of things to come.

I'm just interested in album sales and I agree that this is a fantastic album. Now that Stevie doesn't seem to care about sales, I hope there'll be a 'Vol 2' and hopefully it'll be just as good as this one. Also, in the commentary video posted on YouTube for 'All The Beautiful Worlds', Stevie says that it'll be great on stage. Is that her admitting an upcoming solo tour? |

"People are not thrilled by her anymore, she is going down in flames and her fans are applauding"
