MORE MAC? (Ask Billboard)
 

Hi Keith,

Do you see another tour for Fleetwood Mac this year? Do you think they will tour Canada and other parts of the United States?

Jill Douglas

Hi Jill,

It's unlikely that Fleetwood Mac will mount another tour in 2005 as the band band wrapped up its 2003-2004 world tour in September.

Currently, the Mac's Stevie Nicks is prepping to stage a special "Dreams" show at the Colosseum at Caesars Palace in Las Vegas. The four-night event (May 10-11, 13-14) was created exclusively for the venue, which is also home to Celine Dion's "A New Day" and Elton John's "The Red Piano." Tickets go on sale March 19 through the Caesars Palace box office and Ticketmaster.

Meanwhile, band member Lindsey Buckingham is at work on a forthcoming studio album, which he hopes to release by the end of the year. The Mick Fleetwood Band (Fleetwood, Todd Smallwood and Lauren Evans) issued "Something Big" in September 2004. Christine McVie -- who did not participate in the Mac's Say You Will tour -- released her solo album "In The Meantime" set last September as well.

Fleetwood Mac's most recent studio album, "Say You Will" (2003), debuted and peaked at No. 3 on The Billboard 200 and has sold 844,000 copies in the United States, according to Nielsen SoundScan. Nicks' latest solo set, "Trouble in Shangri-La," debuted and peaked at No. 5 in 2001 on the same chart and has moved 648,000 copies.

Nothing has been announced officially regarding any upcoming album releases from either Fleetwood Mac or Nicks.

He's not the only one hoping that it'll be released by the end of the year!

Thanks for posting that, Joe. :)

Gee, When have we heard this before. I don't think it will see the light of the day.We all know Buckinghams history. I still hope it will happen though.

I didn't realize how close the TISL sales were to SYW. I guess TISL has an advantage for being out longer but still thats pretty damn good stevie!

I thought TISL had sold around 300.000 copies, was I wrong or has it been a long seller?

I knew it had been certified Gold, but I didn't realize it sold quite that many copies. I know it's not likely, but there may still be hope for it to eventually go platinum. Okay, I'm dreaming. :) But TISL was such a strong comeback after such a dark decade. I would love for it to be a dream come true.

It's been stuck in that general area for a year or so.... It was certified gold 5 weeks after release or something like that.. It'll hit platinum eventually, as older titled cds do continue to sell...just not in leaps and bounds.

Thank you for the explanations. :)
