even if Stevie doesn't sell any additional copies of In Your Dreams, it's not a flop to me..

this album is a thing of beauty.. simply gorgeous...

thank you Stevie.. I love In Your Dreams.

She's anything but a flop right now...I have 13 and 14 year old students coming into class telling me about "rumours" and Stevie's new song. She's back more than ever.

I have friends who are not Stevie Nicks fans. I saw them last week, and they mentioned that they read a quote from Stevie. She said something about not caring how the album sells -- that she is doing this for herself and her fans.

That quote earned Stevie high respect from my friends!!! They thought it was great because they appreciate artists who work primarily for the integrity of their art, rather than just for the bucks.

I agree. This is no flop. This album could be the best of her solo career. For me it's too soon to call, but I have a strong sense it is. It's a beautiful thing when art crashes this singularly with pop/rock music. I really love every single song, some more than others, but I do not hear one piece of filler. Having said that, It would be nice for IYD to garner some recognition from outside her hardcore fans (I would love to see her sell a minimum of 250-300K by years end) and within the music industry (Grammy's).

They needs to release another single outside the box to get IYD some additional recognition from non-fans. Something along the lines of "You May Be The One" , "For What It's Worth" (I can see these 2 songs do really well on Triple A and AC) or "Moonlight".

It takes massive sales OR an unbelievable, relentless PR team to get a grammy. I don't think she has either right now. I would love to see her get one for her solo work. Overdue.

Congrats to Stevie and her fans for a #6 opening

I do think that is very much respectful. I will give credit where its due. I didnt think she would debut at #6

So, congrats at #6 . Even though there is a chance the album may fall off quickly, it doesnt matter, she still debut at #6 and that is what counts in the end

I am still having a hard to grasping how , lets say 115,000 sold is a success, but that is not meant to bash anyone, etc. its just I dont see how music has changed that much, I mean, ppl still sell millions of copies, but maybe thats just my big head

not getting it

props for #6

I think it's wonderful!

You better behave in Stevie's House!

After that last thread....

but, ill give credit where its due, i think IYD is getting more promotion than SYW did, which is amzing since that was FM and more promo than all of LB solo records put together which is sad

i dont get how some one as over the hill and already had her time in the sun like SN gets all this and LB needs to find a record label, man that is more mysterious than the Bermuda Triangle, im telling you

but, whatever, I have never understood SN SOLO wise, but looks like im in the ,minority on that one

sad part, if IYD DEBUTS at #1 , i just thought of it, that will be the END of FM forever, if SN already had a big head and huge ego, I can only imagine what now that will do, I mean, 1982 was one thing, but now, if she goes #1, kiss FM good bye, which hoenstly is pretty crap, since shes had her time and LBis mainly the reason FM and SN even have good songs

Yes, clearly you don't mean to bash anyone.

You're just a big warm and fuzzy teddy bear, you.

Those Idiots will overlook Stevie like they have been doing for the last 30 years of her solo work.They rather nominate a nobody popular instead.

Personal digs against other members have no place in the Stevie forum. Take any personal grievances to Private Messaging.

They're certainly not helping by trying to market her/it as Adult Contemporary. Stevie is classic rock, not Bette Midler/Celine Dion-ish. I don't know if they think because she's over 60 that all of a sudden she's not rock anymore, or what. They did the same thing with TISL and look how well that turned out. I should be hearing Secret Love on the stations I listen to, not soft rock ones. She needs a new record company.
