On the Edge of Gold: Hard work paying off.

[Jondalar]

EDGE OF SEVENTEEN & LANDSLIDETwo Stevie Nicks compositions re-enter the Top 200 Digital Tracks Catalogue Chart this week. Edge of Seventeen is the big winner here. Stevie performed a version of her song as a duet with Christina Applegate during a segment of Up All Night, and it wasn't even the whole song - it was literally about a minute of the song. American Idol also played the track, a brief version during their "trio" segment on the 28th, it was part of a medley with two other Fleetwood Mac tunes. So it's remarkable that from those two appearances, the track gets some traction in the sales dept. The track re-enters this chart at # 44 selling 7,560 copies in the sales period March 26th to April 1st - up an incredible 180% over the previous week where it sold 2,704 single units. To date Edge of Seventeen has sold 481,140 copies which is just shy of being certified Gold! This total sales number is likely the number sold since November, 1991 when Soundscan began their tracking. It is also impressive because Edge of Seventeen has not nearly been promoted as much as Landslide. It's actually been doing quite well on its own.


Landslide moves up 168% in sales and re-enters the chart at # 57 selling a total of 6,776 singles vs 2,531 the previous week. To date Landslide has sold 834,515 single copies in the US.

Lanslide only went gold for Fleetwood Mac a couple of years ago. That means that is has sold over 300,000 copies in just the space of a few years. It will definitely be the first platinum single she has written. Alot of this has to do with all of her TV appearances. Everytime she was on the tube this song got a giant boost.

Keep in mind that nothing before 1991 counts towards gold or platinum digital achievements. Dreams went gold back in 1977 a vinyl single but has not went gold as a digital song.
