The whole bunch are predictable. And right on time. One after the other.

It probably has to do hugely with streaming being counting as sales in the US. The vast majority of the audience that cares about a new album these days by Fleetwood Mac/Stevie Nicks/Buckingham McVie etc is not the type of audience that streams things much, they purchase actual copies. But the albums that they are competing with in the charts, regardless of the audience being completely different, are the ones that get very heavily streamed, putting their sales far ahead.

Streaming being counted for Billboard 200 sales was announced at the end of November 2014, starting sometime in the next month (I remember because this was a few weeks after the Taylor Swift album came out and she was against streaming, but her album still sold insane anyways) and then expanded what types of streams, including singles, etc over the past year or two.

If we're comparing to 24 Karat Gold, that was released about a month or two before the decision about streaming, so most of Stevie's sales would not have been affected by that.

So trying to crucify yet another person for expressing their opinions huh? Something this board has made a total career out of. The album is mediocre in a lot of peoples' opinions. And the whole excuse for saying that no one knows who they are is total BS. i'm glad you are enjoying it. You should if that is your taste. Just stop with the criticism of others for liking what they like.

People know who they are when they go by their proper name . . .

Starting with "Whenever I Call You Friend," and continuing with "Stop Dragging My Heart Around" and "Leather and Lace," Stevie was able to establish herself as an entity outside of the band by singing with other rock stars. Lindsey and Christine were too busy making Fleetwood Mac albums to establish themselves outside of the band that way, which is exactly why they should have called "LB/CM" Fleetwood Mac and should have gone on the road with Mick and John as Fleetwood Mac.
