How many copies did each of us buy? REALLY? Is that the bar we're measured by now?
so if we want to buy copies for family and friends we can't do that? anymore rules that we need to abide by? I bought my parents and sisters Dixie Chicks last album and Adeles album and Alison Krauss latest.... is that not okay with you?

I beg your pardon, but I don't see that there's anything sad about/wrong with people buying multiple copies regardless of motives... to boost sales, to give as gifts, to have back-up copies, or for any other reason(s). I don't see it as any more artificial than not being able to account for people who like the album but choose to illegally download it w/o ever purchasing the music.

So far, I only have the special edition that came with the lithograph/poster. I do plan on purchasing one additional copy this week (the standard edition), which is something I choose to do mostly for the purpose of supporting this release (I like having a back-up copy of albums I especially treasure.. something I don't do enough actually.)

Your comments are more than a bit cynical! And that is the sad state of your post.
I innocently purchased more copies than I intended, and started this thread to gage other fans' purchases. It was never an agenda to boost sales! That is ridiculous thinking!

And how the hell do reality shows have any relation to the discussion of Stevie's new album? You clearly have other issues, and completed missed the innocuous point of this thread. I'm slightly offended by your comments.

Too funny. The store clerks cursed you when they had to rearrange everything I bet.

I'm always rearranging music sections to promote Stevie in any store I walk through ~ LOL!!! Those Nickelback fans have to WORK their way past Stevie Nicks to find their CDs!

I do it everywhere. Last month I was in Half-Price Books on Lamar in Austin, and I put Bella Donna and The Wild Heart both in the front of 2 stacks of "N" vinyl records! And it was in the middle of all of the records, very visible in the middle of the store, so there was Stevie, right near the cash registers, too!!! And I put The Other Side Of The Mirror in front of the "N" used CDs, and The Dance in front of the "F" CDs.

Oh, what a low state I've reached!

It's not a Stevie Nicks thing. Check out JLo's ratings on iTunes. I'm sure her fans have boosted her sales with Multiple copies. Lady Gaga, Brittany, Madonna.... hardcore fans buy, buy, buy to support the artist and out of love. You can't just single out Stevie Nicks fans. Stevie is going to have a harder time than anyone selling her album simply because of her age. She needs core fans to stick by her and to spread the word.

I had ordered two copies from B&N, one for my neice, those have not arrived yet. I got the Itunes version for the extras and because i was able to download at 11pm on may 2. When I saw the coupon for B&N I figured I might as well get it now and cancel my pre-order As it turns out I could not cancel so I will have one extra copy which I am sure will find a home. It doesnt bother me at all since the cd is so awesome and Stevie/Mac are the only one I would do this for.

Jeff, you're so polite.

I've bought two copies so far, both were the B&N edition. I gave one to my bestie, since she's the only other Stevie fan in my life who really appreciates Stevie with me.

I probably won't buy any more than that. However, I do wonder if a vinyl edition is on it's way. If the album sells well enough, it's possible....and I'd buy it on vinyl for certain.

So far I have two. I ordered one from Amazon I think. Then I downloaded the deluxe version from iTunes yesterday because the damn CD hadn't arrived yet. Of course I want the My Heart version as well if I can find one.
