Buckingham Nicks reissue is just the album.

You're right, it won't.

Any guesses? I'm guessing 100k copies(if that). And I mean BN, not her solo album.

The business model has changed. Artists make their living from concerts, not records. And for old artists, it's even worse. If they sold a lot, it would be a phenomenon. That's why they like to reissue deluxe editions, it's more sales attractive. Only true fans eagerly await and welcome new music, but it's a small market.

Rhino must conduct exhaustive market research to release albums that guarantee satisfactory revenue.

If Stevie release a new album, it won't sale that much. If she go on the road for supporting the album, probably a bit more than Lindsey's last album or SWS.

BN is a different case, but yes it could be a bit less than 100k. I hope I'm wrong. How much sold BuckVie? Wikipedia says 60K in UK, did it sell more in the US?

Google says BuckVie exceeded 60k copies sold.

I'd now like to lower my 100k guess to 50k.

Unfortunately you are spot on. Not to mention many get their music from streaming not physical copies. Stevie will sell more of her new release if she gets it out now before her tour starts. People will pick it up at the show. As far as Buckingham Nicks if they get some of that PR around the September release date it may sell well. I still can’t believe how much press was given to this.

I still find it hilarious that so many stories about the possibility of a Buckingham Nicks reunion concert……….ah no, I don’t think so.
