And they're wrong; it would've sold the same.

Very true, but I think that the record companies know that more people were probably looking forward to new Outkast and Shania Twain than Fleetwood Mac. Also, the people that would be buying those albums, I think, would be more likely to buy a double album than a casual Mac fan.
