SYW vs TISL sales figures

[Christopher]

I dont think anyone posted this yet, and I know there has been interest in SYW sales numbers compared to Stevies' TISL 2 yrs ago....I dont know about you guys but before the release of SYW I was totally expecting Fleetwood Mac to sell at least double of what Stevie did!!....so does this make SYW a failure sales wise...?? Also these numbers may give creedence to the fact that miss Stevie may just go ahead and do another solo record...... the only thing to keep her in Fleetwood Mac would be to do big business on the road....and I really dont think they'll ever do another concert tour on this scale again.

STALKING STEVIE

Keith,

Can you let me know how many copies have sold to date of Stevie Nicks' "Trouble in Shangri-La" as well as Fleetwood Mac's "Say You Will?" Also, I was curious if any of the songs from Stevie's last album like "Everyday" or "Planets of the Universe", or the title track from "Say You Will" hit Billboard's Hot 100 Bubbling Under chart.

Thanks for your time,

Jim

Hi Jim,

According to Nielsen SoundScan, Fleetwood Mac's "Say You Will" has sold 733,000 copies in the U.S., while Stevie Nicks' "Trouble in Shangri-La" has moved 638,000. The latter was released in May 2001.

Neither "Everyday" nor "Planets Of The Universe" reached Billboard's Hot 100 Bubbling Under chart. However, "Everyday" reached No. 17 on the Adult Contemporary survey, while "Planets" became a big club hit, hitting No. 1 on the Hot Dance/Club Play chart.

"Say You Will" never reached the Bubbling Under chart either - though it also peaked at No. 17 on the Adult Contemporary chart.
