HUGE Mac hype at the moment

Rumours was selling huge numbers again.

Not only the sales, but the younger generation was really into it.

Any of the younger generation who found out about them through Glee and would have been willing to shell out $$$ in 2011 to go see them is probably still interested enough to shell out $$$ to see them today. And I think there's even more buzz than there was in 2011. If they had gone out in 2011 it would have seem rushed and as if it was thrown together simply because there was a slight blip on the popularity radar.

Rumours is still selling in large amounts (which is even more impressive than in 2011, because there's not some pop culture phenomenon that's pushing it to the general public. PLUS the box sets that are selling are a lot more expensive than the $9 or so it would cost to buy the regular album).

Not to mention that Fleetwood Mac was the soundtrack to the most popular Superbowl commercial this year. That's pretty damn good publicity right there. We have the hype of there being at least a few new songs, as well, which we wouldn't have had in 2011.

Their UK tour sold out the day tickets went on sale, did it not? I don't think they're suffering from having waited until 2013 to tour. At all.
