IYD blowing up thanks to Rolling Stone?

[ricohv]

I just googled "Stevie Nicks In Your Dreams" out of curiosity to see what I'd turn up and how much I'd turn up. It seems like this album is starting to blow up-I just scrolled through about 25 pages (which was just scratching the surface) of the results. I've never tried to gauge an albums' pre-release buzz by googling, so I have nothing to compare this to, but...

What I notice most is the volume of websites, but even more-so random blogs (e.g. a tennis blog, a Seattle lesbian blog, an Italian DJ blog, etc.) that mention with much anticipation the release of IYD. The other main thing I notice is that most of these are pretty new postings as almost all have a link to the Rolling Stone album preview.

Originally I wondered if the RS preview might hurt sales but now think that it might have the power to really spread the word in a sort of grass roots (i.e. blogging) way that might really propel this album to big exposure and hopefully sales.

Just curious if you guys think I am seeing this the right way? Seemed like we all were concerned it wasn't getting ample promo but maybe it is!?!
