The marketing of this album has actually been quite impressive: lots of advance downloads, lyric videos, an actual video ("Lady"), streaming songs, video commentaries, blurbs on blogs everywhere, articles in Rolling Stone and Huffington Post. Given all of this, I'm surprised that the album isn't in the top 10 for pre-sales, which makes me think that she'll have a healthy and impressive debut, but not a blockbuster.

What worries me is the fact that Stevie is committed to Fleetwood Mac for the rest of the year, so she really won't have opportunities to go on the Tonight Show or David Letterman or Ellen to perform a song from the album. Yes, she's got The Voice, but will she perform? Will she get to mention the album? I'm just concerned that her second and third week numbers will fall dramatically and the album will be dead by Halloween, which would be a damn shame.

I totally agree. This is what worries me. I think 'In Your Dreams' benefitted hugely from television promotion even though it didn't do incredibly well. Without that it would've been a total flop. She needs to DEFINITELY go on some shows like Ellen or Letterman to give this album longevity or the great debut it deserves.
