Stevie Nicks UK album sales

[James89]

I just thought that now with Stevie having a new album coming in just over a months time, I would discuss her album sales here in the UK.

I know there have been many threads regarding US sales and I'm sure most of you guys know about all of that anyway, but I've noticed that her UK sales are rarely mentioned.

These are the albums that have been certified. Her last certification occurred in 1991 so I bet there are a few new ones that are needed:

The Wild Heart - >60,000 - Silver
Rock a Little - >100,000 - Gold
The Other Side of the Mirror - >190,000* - Gold *Found this out from a year-end list.
Timespace - >100,000 - Gold

That's all that has been certified. I also found from a source published near the time of the release of In Your Dreams that Trouble in Shangri-La sold 22,847 copies up until that point which was June 2011.

I also suspect (though I am guessing) that In Your Dreams has sold over 30,000 copies and could even be close to a Silver certification.

Crystal Visions has been selling steadily since its release, though it never charted within the top 100 but has recently spent a while within the top 200. I suspect over the last 7 years that it must be close to 60,000 or even more. I'm pretty sure it needs a certification.

Also, a thing that has puzzled me over the years. All of Stevie's albums of the 80's were certified here apart from Bella Donna which was arguably the second most successful behind The Other Side of the Mirror. It spent 5 weeks in the top 20 very nearly making the top 10 and 16 weeks on the album chart in total. Without a doubt it must have sold more than 60,000 copies. Shouldn't it have sold at least that in its 5 weeks in the top 20? In my opinion, definitely. Also, Rock a Little supposedly sold over 100,000 copies here even though it only ever reached #30 and spent 15 weeks within the top 75.

Unless hardly anyone bought albums in 1981 then I'm sure Bella Donna sold more than 60,000 copies here!

Please share your thoughts on Stevie's UK album career and sales and please help with my theory of the sales of Bella Donna!
