Say You Will was the first Fleetwood Mac studio album to peak in the top 3 in the US since 1982's Mirage.[3] The album debuted at No. 3 with sales of 218,000 and was certified Gold by the RIAA in July 2003 for 500,000 copies shipped in the US.[4] It has also been certified Gold in the UK for 100,000 copies shipped. As of May 2013, the album has sold 864,000 copies in the U.S. [5]

Let's see here, things FM pretend never existed....
Say You Will
The Time lineup
The GLORIOUS Bob Welch years


You can't rewrite history, but they think we're dumb enough to forget. Who are the dumb ones?

Did they play anything from it on the 2009 tour? At least Peacekeeper maybe?

Even the new EP singles (which I think was a good idea)...I feel like we won't be hearing those again unless they ended up on a new album. Without You at least has the historical connotation, but after 50 shows of a ten minute intro to it I don't know what FM can really do with it for the future.

Interesting that SYW didn't even sell 1 mill! I always thought it sold at least that! Its a really good album, but it had also been about 16 years since FM had any new music (because do we really even count the albums from the early 90s). So I think that factor might have had a lot to do with it to.
