I don't about how legit it is but I think Fleetwood Mac has to be touring somewhere if they release their new recordings. I guess we will see.

This isn't really a retrospective though in that these songs have largely not been officially released. Some of them are quite familiar to intense Nicks fans but to more casual listeners they'll all be brand new. Heck, I never heard of "Secret Love" before IYD...so even fans that own everything Nicks puts out may not have heard some of these demos.

I thought they had two rounds of touring lined up. I guess I just assumed the new FM album would come out between the two tours, the first being a "reunion" tour and the second being a promotional tour for the new record.

Exactly what I'm thinking. There will be no tour in 2015 to support 24 KG. The Fleetwood Mac tour will support it and then the new MAC album will be released and the tour will continue.

Stevie said 2 tours next year

I have this strange feeling we will all be surprised.

pleasantly suprised

I'm predicting lower end of the top 10 on the Billboard 200 with little longevity. I doubt it will do much outside of the US. Anyway, the main thing is the music which is sounding really good so far.

I hope so.But I hope she does not overdo herself.

Well it looks like the majority of the voters were right!

Stevie has debuted at #7 with sales of 33,000 so I think that falls under the 'around or more than 40,000 and will be around the top 5'.

I'd love to see "Blue Water" become an actual real country chart hit.

I think it can. Like when is the next CMT show or something? She needs to perform Blue Water with Lady Antebellum on a nationally televised show, then get the country radio airplay. I think it could be a hit.

Honored to sing w/ good friend @StevieNicks on "Blue Water" off her
fantastic new album #24KaratGold Check it out! http://t.co/2Img7pp9nh

They did give her a shout out and it would be a smart move on her part to perform "Blue Water" with them at a televised country event or even just showing up at one of their concerts so the performance would end up on youtube...

Interestingly, it's been doing quite well outside the US....top 20 debuts in Australia, UK, elsewhere

Great idea! I hope she takes advantage of that opportunity. But given her track record of bad timing and missed or overlooked opportunities, I wouldn't bet on it.
