Will Buckingham Mcvie outsell 24KG?

[James89]

Just an interesting question. How many of you think that the Buckingham Mcvie album will sell more than Stevie's 24KG in week 1 in the US?

I know it seems a tedious question but I think it's an interesting one. It'll show how many die hard Mac fans there are, how many fans don't care very much for Stevie's input (or vice versa), and if Stevie's solo career is bigger than the other two main people in FM put together.

Stevie's 24KG came out in October 2014 but frankly the music business and album sales have not changed since then. It sold 33,000 copies in one week with hardly any promotion. Can Buckingham Mcvie beat that? Well I don't know. I think it'll be close but I think Stevie might just edge it.

Thoughts? Btw, this is pure speculation and I for one am so excited for the new album.

LB/CM is a new entity, and neither were especially viable as solo artists. SN is established as a solo artist. If they had released it as FM, then the poll would be a little more valid.

I think not, but I also think that if the album has good songs, the Buckingham McVie album will eventually sell more than 24KG worldwide.

I voted yes, just because I want them to succeed as a duo, after their need to create and share with their fans their hard work.

No, it probably wont outsell 24kG, but I don't care.
Lindsey Buckingham/Christine McVie will probably struggle to break the top 20, but I don't care.

Exactly. They're not doing it for the money. I'm hoping the music is really good. That's what I want.

I know charts and sales are something that interests you, but honestly? Who cares!

Also, pitting different members of FM against each other is something we had so many uproars against on this board recently, and this poll does exactly that, so it's really unhealthy imho, even if you didn' mean it that way.

This is a troll of a thread
I don't know why some fret over chart listings and sales. Stevie solo records have routinely sold better than Lindsey or Christine solo records. Stop pitting the members against each other like its a board game!
My answer to the poll: Who cares?

[Jondalar]

Dumb thread. They are a new entity and are not getting special promotion or a World tour to help sell it.

[James89]

It's just for speculation! You don't have to vote.

Thank you Elle!!
Yes, can't we all just be happy about these new projects? Using exciting news to bash other FM band members is non-productive, not to mention immature.
Enough already.

^^^I did not even take it that way. I don't think that everything people post here is about the asumed rivalry between Stevie and Mckingham/McVie supporters. A this time, I'm purely team B/McV, but when Stevie is about to release a new album, I will be as enthusiastic as I am now.

So let's just have some fun here, it's not often that we can get exited about a new album from anyone in the FM universe.

Exactly. It's well known and agreed by all that Stevie is the one with the self-sufficient solo career. So... it IS intriguing to find out what will happen when Lindsey and Christine join forces in terms of consumer response (different from popular response, btw).

Plus if they do do surprisingly well... there may be more Buckingham McVie in the future!

I don't mind fun. But, I have to give Jamie and Elle some credit here.

We all know of the bitterness that spouts from Stevie not being involved. (On either side)

If we can have fun with it, I'm all for it. The problem is people leave the board and get extremely upset.

So, let's keep it fun and w/ humor.

If the 10 buckvie fans buy 100 albums each, of course it will outsell Stevie!

Being optimistic, and voted yes. I'm also going to say it will be better. So there.
