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!!

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.
