Rhino must conduct exhaustive market research to release albums that guarantee satisfactory revenue.
If Stevie release a new album, it won't sale that much. If she go on the road for supporting the album, probably a bit more than Lindsey's last album or SWS.
BN is a different case, but yes it could be a bit less than 100k. I hope I'm wrong. How much sold BuckVie? Wikipedia says 60K in UK, did it sell more in the US?

Unfortunately you are spot on. Not to mention many get their music from streaming not physical copies. Stevie will sell more of her new release if she gets it out now before her tour starts. People will pick it up at the show. As far as Buckingham Nicks if they get some of that PR around the September release date it may sell well. I still can’t believe how much press was given to this.
I still find it hilarious that so many stories about the possibility of a Buckingham Nicks reunion concert……….ah no, I don’t think so.
