Will Buckingham Mcvie outsell 24KG?

[James89]

It seems to be doing well with the pre-orders.

First off, everyone here is curious as to how much the album will sell, and for a variety of reasons. For example, and the obvious one is, if the album sells well, that increases the chance Christine and Lindsey might record another album together, with John and Mick (but remember, it will NOT be a Fleetwood Mac album, it's just an album recorded by 4 members of the 5 member band).

This thread is clearly meant to be fun, there's no shade here. It's still early, but my instinct tells me the album will sell less than 24 Karat the first week, but will sell more in the weeks that follow. Having said that, it doesn't matter what it sells OR how sales compare to Stevie, and the quality of the album is separate from how well it sells. This thread is just a fun barometer to see what we're thinking. If you feel that sales of the album is too sensitive a topic, don't answer the poll and skip this thread.

Thank you, Sir.

Yes, thank you. I just like the topic of sales and created this poll for a bit of fun. There was no malice intended.

It surprisingly does see to be doing well. I didn't think this would sell at all. I have selfish reasons for wanting to be the sole person in the theater. lol

As far as first week sales? I don't see it toppling 24k. However, if the music critics give it a rousing welcome, I could see a slow burn effect where it might eventually outpace the total sales of 24k. Especially considering that this whole Buckingham McVie thing is viewed as an experiment- something entirely new. Whereas 24k had the unfortunate qualifier, songs from the vault, tacked on to the end of its title- which elicited all sorts of negative connotations. Mainly, that these were unrelated reject songs thrown together to fulfill a recording contract. Combine that with the underdog aspect of Buckingham Nicks, and we might be in for a long-haul surprise.

I think it might but that's not the most important thing to me. However, remember that there's a lot of folk who like older FM but not Stevie. I believe this album is going to do good things but I'm realistic and it's really only about how I personally feel about it...the rest is hoo ha

i pre-ordered today too, on amazon. i like that i get both CD and digital download there. curious whether the single will become available digitally on friday to anyone who pre-ordered. it should, that's what all other releases i pre-ordered recently did, but who knows.

so i'm not voting in this poll cos i have no opinion on this topic and don't really want to try and pull one out of my a**.

however, if you voted, i'm curious how your vote relates to whether or not you bought either album? i'm not gonna ask which album you bought and how you voted since James made the poll non-transparent. i'm not interested in sales, but i am in people's behavior and correlations, so......

James, since you started the thread, just curious if you are willing to share - whatever your vote is, did you vote for the album you bought or the other one that you didn't buy? or did you buy both albums? or neither?

Despite our efforts, down to 36.

Wonder how it's doing on iTunes...

Really hard to say, I think. There's been a lot of talk about this album, since its essentially a "What was supposed to be a Mac record but thanks to Nicks not participating turned into a duet album". Nicks does have the most star power of the three, but 'Buckingham McVie' could get a lot of traction as an aborted Mac album as well as the first recordings McVie has done in quite awhile.

Def if it had been a Mac album it probably would have hit #1 and I think could have gone Gold (Nicks's complaints about album sales notwithstanding). As Buckingham McVie maybe less impact but perhaps on par with what '24 Karat Gold' did.
