and i agree that the ridiculous waiting periods don't help either......time her outlook changed and she made music for herself.

EXACTLY!

She is not alone in lower album sales. NOBODY is shifting albums like they used to. "Rock a Little" and "The Otherside Of The Mirror" charted LOWER than IYD, but both sold more copies in their first 2 years on sale. For Stevie to have a top 10 album and top 10 singles at this stage in her career is fantastic, regardless of how many copies it sold.

The success of an album is not purely based on the number of copies sold. Albums don't sell like they used to, so the adjustment has to be taken into account. IYD recieved rave reviews from fans and critics and brought in a lot of new fans for Stevie with Dave doing a lot of net promotion, the documentary and the Q&A sessions.

Whether Stevie belives it or not, IYD was a MASSIVE success and she should be so proud of herself for it.

An artist does not create just to sell it, they create because they have something inside them that they want to share with others and express in a certain way. Why does Stevie feel that she needs to sell sell sell? It's not like she needs the money, she's already MINTED.
