WOW, the news keeps getting worse. We're very very lucky Stevie recorded her album last year at all. After reading this precipitous drop in recent record sales foreshadowing the ultimate demise of the record business as we once upon a time knew it, I honestly have to say I don't blame Stevie for jumping on board the co-headlining tour with Rod Stewart, which probably pushed back the release of "In Your Dreams" 2 months. And I agree, it probably does bode well for a Top 10 Album debut, if not landing her somewhere in the Top 5. But nobody's exactly bragging that they're #1 with sales like these
