Bella Donna and The Wild Heart burning up the charts

[James89]

So it's only been a few hours and the response to these albums has been incredible. On the main Amazon US top 100 albums chart, at the time of writing, Bella Donna is at #13 and The Wild Heart is at #18!

To say that it's unexpected is the understatement of the decade! Clearly these albums are in high demand and they are going to sell like hot cakes.

Just thought I'd share the fantastic news and I'll update if things get even better. Her appearance on The Late Late Show will probably help with this even further.

This is amazing news! Would this be pre-sales, or sales of the original releases?
Thanks for the info. James89!
*Ricoh*

[Macfanforever]

GREAT News James .Thanks for the report.Two of her best album still have the fire power 30 plus years later.

[Danielle]

That's really good news. BD is at #12 now. :]

[Jondalar]

Bella Donna is #9 and The Wild Heart is #14 on Amazing.com.

[James89]

These are for the pre-orders but I have to say, when Mirage was up for pre-order it never reached anywhere near as high. I think it reached as high as around #40? So very impressive for these indeed.

Keep in mind that Stevie has the only box sets in the top 20. Her albums are more expensive than the other ones.

[Jondalar]

P.S. Sales for Bella Donna and Wild Heart are great but sales for 24 Karat Gold have dropped off the radar. It's rank is like 300,000. This tour was supposed to promote that album.

[Jondalar]

73 Bella and 107 TWH itunes

73 Bella and 107 TWH itunes

Also #23 and #30 on Amazon US which is pretty good. I'm surprised that they're doing this well. I wonder if they'll reach the top 100 of the Billboard 200?

Maybe that's because Bella Donna and The Wild Heart are significantly better albums than 24KG :rolleyes:

24k gold is just as good probably better than The Wild Heart, she just doesn't sale new albums anymore

[James89]

Fantastic news! Both Bella Donna and The Wild Heart look set to make an appearance on the UK Top 100 albums chart this Friday!

The midweek chart has BD at #55 and TWH at #76. If I'm being honest, I didn't think they would chart at all in the UK but this clearly shows she has a devoted fan base here and so she should bring the tour here! Anyway, back to what I was talking about...

I would imagine they will drop a bit by Friday but if they can both cling on then I think it would be a real achievement to have the two within the top 100.

I'm also expecting great things for the US and of course, as soon as I get the info, I'll post. :)

X2, the stuff she's put out the last 10 years with Dave Stewart pales in comparison to BD/WH. New albums WILL SELL if they are great. 24K is not near great. Not a single song on it has charted on iTunes or anywhere else. Sales have not been significant and two years after its release, its all but forgotten.

No new album by someone in their 60s or 70s is going to sell no matter what the quality .Even new albums by young people don't sell millions anymore unless they answer to the name Adele Atkins.

So, what you're telling me is that unless you're Adele, you can be excused for putting out dreck that people simply won't buy. Sure, makes sense to me??

Fact is, IF 24K or any other of her recent albums were great, they'd sell on Stevie's name alone. Dave S did her a great disservice by allowing her to put out songs that should have remained in the VAULT. All in the name of honoring a recording contract I guess?

Have you not been paying attention the last 10 years? You don't know what your talking about. Sia and others have huge hits and their albums don't go even platinum.

And 24k is probably the best reviewed album of her career.

Both IYD and 24KG were top 10 albums..look at some of her peer's from her solo heyday of the early 1980s ,Pat Benatar has not had a top 10 album since 1982!

Yeah, I live by the words of reviewers and pollsters too!! It may be best reviewed , BUT certainly NOT the best album to my ears. Gotta go back to the late 70s, early 80s for that!!

5 and a half years later and IYD is also all but forgotten, another Dave Stewart debacle. Give me TISL over 24K or IYD any day. Heck, I am not so sure that I wouldn't also take SA over them as well.

[dreamsunwind]

I don't think it's Dave's fault the albums didn't sell so well. Although I've never been a terribly big fan of Stevie's solo work because of the cheesy production, the albums were good overall and would've pleased fans. But the only people today that manage to get people to go out and buy an album are Taylor Swift and Adele. For both of them, their last few albums have sold millions upon millions. It's not shocking that someone like Stevie, despite being a legend, won't sell big numbers. IYD did pretty well considering.

[SisterNightroad]

And to think that 24K Gold is now my third favourite album by Stevie, after Bella Donna and Wild Heart.

[jbrownsjr]

These two albums are incredible. Her best work, by far. Can't wait til I have time to sit down and listen in entirety.

Why isn't Stevie getting people out to buy her CDs/Albums?? She did back in the 70s and 80s and even TISL was well received. Why are IYD and 24K any different?. Because they are not near the quality of what BD, WH or even SA were. You can't blame everything on "people dont buy music anymore" because of Internet etc. If its a great album like 21, it'll sell and sell BIG!!

People not buying music is a huge thing though, but I also think it's hugely because she's not at her peak anymore. When Stevie was selling millions, she wasn't old and she was still very beautiful and her voice was still in great condition. You know, that was her prime. Just like Adele and Taylor Swift are at their primes now, I doubt that in 30 years, they'll still be selling the numbers they're selling now. I don't think a lot of those older artists could sell today the way they did in their primes. The Rolling Stones are putting out an album aren't they? They're literally the STONES and I'd be very, very surprised if it goes platinum. I think Stevie has a very dedicated fanbase who will buy whatever she does as well as Fleetwood Mac fans, but I just don't think the general public/typical album buyer cares about her as much as they did 30 years ago, even if she is a legend.
That's why I'm kind of in awe at the likes of Adele and TSwift, in music today they manage to get even casual fans to go out and buy a record.

I disagree. 21 sells big because it sells to those people who only go out an buy one album that year. It sells big because the songs are used in SNL skits. It sells well because the songs are played hourly on radio stations. It sells well because of the Adele brand.

Stevie is a has-been. A been-there-done-that. A legend, but a has-been nonetheless, and she will never, ever sell a million or even 500K of anything ever again. It doesn't matter how good the songs are or who produces them or what image is on the cover or what the reviews say. Paul McCartney doesn't sell a million and he's a Beatle!

Most music fans stream their music these days. Very few people buy CDs or even whole albums on iTunes. Those who do are die-hards like us and housewives who go out once a year to buy the Susan Boyle or Adele CD they've been waiting for.

I love Stevie as much as any hardcore fan, but let's be realistic about sales when it comes to her albums.

If that was the reason then there wouldn't be the tons of garbage like Bieber who sell outrageously big numbers of albums.

Well this deplorable loves 24k and is enjoying it now. It's a great day to be U. S. citizen and I'm enjoying it with Stevie. Maybe she can sing Has Anyone Ever Written for You to Hillary, instead of Landslide.

I guess better a has been than a never was. That's harsh to say about the Queen of Rock. How many artists have a 40+ year career behind them and a successful one at that. I believe that since she's been at Reprise and being produced or directed by someone other than Lindzers that her work and production is substandard. Its lost its je ne sais quoi quality that has always defined the queen of rock. Haunting guitar licks by Lindsey and an ethereal sound like Sisters of or Beauty and Beast. Sorry , but there's nothing like Thrown Down, Stand Back or Edge to get the blood flowing. Her latest stuff is almost like she's in a depression vacuum and can't get out.

I do agree with this. It's always been my opinion that her work with him during their prime had a certain magic that was never truly replicated in her other work. Like even somewhat after the peak for the two of them together, I think Gypsy is a better, more classic Stevie song than all of Bella Donna. That's just me.

It's like the quote by Ken (I think) where he says there's a reason Stevie and Lindsey sound so good together... It's because they were meant to sing together!

And I think it's a shame that they don't work together anymore. They bring out the best in each other musically and I do not think that is disputable.

I like how she reached out to him to get the exact vibe/sound she wanted for Soldier's Angel, because only he could do it. I think that's telling.

True. I did also say she is a legend, but when it comes to platinum album sales, those days are over, and that's what I meant by has-been - a former multi-platinum artist with a legacy that she nurtures in a way which makes her happy.

[TheWildHeart67]

I don't agree. I think Stevie has proved time and time again, she is capable of creating magical musical works of art with other producers.

Trump may fix the economy but he has given the racists and bigots in this country the courage they needed to come out of the shadows. Just today, in NC, I was walking with my wife (a Korean) and our 2 month old child (obviously interracial) and I had a man tell me to take my wife back to China. Needless to say, I clocked him in the face. So yes, that is the America I now live in.

Back on topic. The debate is/was how her older music is still tearing up the charts. Regardless of generation, her "older music" with Lindsey (and the Mac) is far superior and less forgetful than the "new stuff." I recall going to concerts where she played mostly the "hits" and the crowd loved it. You won't see that at a current Stevie concert when she starts playing from the 24K vault or IYD. IN fact, her best receptions are from BD/WH and her "greatest hits" collections. All the other songs are "beer runs."

Seems to me that the greatest generation of Stevie was from 1976-2001 , ending with TISL. The then10 year hiatus really did NOT get her collective juices flowing and Dave S is certainly not her muse. I'd have to give that to Lindsey. The magic happens with Lindsey, you know it, I know it, we all know it.

Speculating here, BUT I'd imagine that IYD and 24K would have been a LOT more successful if she had a Ken C, Lindsey B or ANYONE else as her producer. She just has too much chemistry with Lindsey to not be successful. Its akin to the vault songs. When you take a classic car out of storage after 30 years, you don't take it to the local body shop and get it restored. You take it to a classic car restorer who knows how and what to do with the songs from the vault. The only person capable of that was Lindsey.

Hey, NOT saying that everything she did with him was magic. That was primarily a Mitch Froom project anyway. You don't like Sad Angel or without you?? Mitch is more of a Movie music producer anyway.

Well, I was not saying that she doesn't have a special work relationship with Lindsey either, I prefer her work with the Mac too but I think mainly the fault is age that made her a bit less "elastic"
No, I like Without You, and Sad Angel is cute just like Miss Fantasy etc but it's all pretty much underwhelming, I don't know it just all sound the same to me at some level.

I disagree with this. Well, I maybe I don't technically disagree, but what you have described is in no way unique to Stevie. You could be describing any classic rock artist still out there today. Her hit-making days were long ago, but that doesn't necessarily mean the music she makes now isn't good. Of course thousands of casual fans will want to hear the hits, and I don't doubt people make a beer run during an IYD song, but again....bigger names than her experience the same thing. And Lindsey wouldn't be able to spare her from this. If Fleetwood Mac trots out any SYW songs on their next tour, the same thing will happen.

[Jondalar]

They are bringing in about a million per show. How much do think Stevie nets a night?

Less than you think after Uncle Sam gets done with her.........................39.6 % marginal tax rate plus California Income tax, probably netting 50% of what she makes.

Yes. Unfortunately, neither album made it to the top 100 which is very disappointing because at the midweek stage it was looking very promising indeed.

Because of the new stupid streaming rules, Bella Donna would've been at #71 as it is at that position on the top 100 sales chart. Ah well...

Now I'm just hoping for an appearance on the Billboard 200. Maybe that's being too optimistic. I think BD will scrape in but not TWH. We'll see very soon. :)

[James89]

Finally, the numbers we've been waiting for are in.

Bella Donna sold 4,302 copies in the US last week and makes it to #59 on the Top Album Sales chart. Because of the new streaming rules it is at #128 on the Billboard 200. Still, good numbers for the album and nice to see it back on the Billboard 200 for the first time since 1986. It is at #7 on the Catlalogue Albums chart.

The Wild Heart sold 3,175 copies in the US last week and reaches #85 on the Top Album Sales chart. Again, due to the streaming rules it doesn't appear on the Billboard 200, just missing out. It is at #15 on the Catalogue Albums chart though.

And there you have it! :)

The Wild Heart sold 3,175 copies in the US last week and reaches #85 on the Top Album Sales chart. Again, due to the streaming rules it doesn't appear on the Billboard 200, just missing out. It is at #15 on the Catalogue Albums chart though.

And there you have it! :)

Thank you.

Billboard 200 Chart Moves: Stevie Nicks' 'Bella Donna' Returns, Michael Buble's 'Christmas' Gains

-- Stevie Nicks, Bella Donna (Deluxe Edition) - No. 128: A new expanded version of Stevie Nicks’ 1981 solo debut album, Bella Donna, arrives on the chart with 5,000 units earned. The original album reached No. 1, and remains Nicks’ only solo chart-topper.

The revamped deluxe title -- which features 25 additional tracks -- charts separately from the original album, and its sales history is also tracked independently of the original release.

The original Bella Donna album climbed to No. 1 on the list dated Sept. 5, 1981 and also marked the icon’s first of so-far nine top 40-charting efforts. She most recently visited the top 40 with her 2014 album 24 Karat Gold: Songs From the Vault, which debuted and peaked at No. 7.

Bella Donna also sports the most top 40-charting singles on the Billboard Hot 100 of any Nicks album, as it launched four hits into the region. Its lead-off single, “Stop Draggin’ My Heart Around,” with Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers, peaked at No. 3 (for six weeks!). It was followed by “Leather and Lace,” with Don Henley (which reached No. 6), “Edge of Seventeen” (No. 11) and “After the Glitter Fades” (No. 32).

Did anyone purchase the deluxe sets from iTunes? I want to know if the art work comes with it? I've yet to actually purchase the CDs.

Thanks!

Had to go to 4+ stores today but finally tracked down a copy of the WH. It sure sounds good in the car! I especially like the long instrumental ending on the alternate Sable on Blonde.

You're welcome! I only purchased them on iTunes because my online order for the cds was taking forever. The cds sound so much better than the iTunes downloads, you won't regret it. :nod:
