I agree. I don't even care if she gets a Grammy anymore, I just want her to get into the Hall of Fame as a solo artist before they screw that up and it doesn't mean anything.

I should be hearing Secret Love on the stations I listen to, not soft rock ones. She needs a new record company.

Exactly, exactly, exactly. They're trying to market it to the wrong people imo.

I've been accused by another ledgie that I'm somekind of top secret press agent for Adele but her album is beautiful and I can't believe how the public has supported it world wide....The fact that Adele and Stevie and the Fleetfoxes are doing well on the charts bodes well for good music!!

Can anyone update Stevie's wikipedia? If so, has anyone been tallying her review scores?

tabruns · #**230** 05-11-2011, 11:24 PM

I did update it to include the US Weekly review. I tried to add the People magazine rating, but I can only find a link to People via a blog, and Wikipedia won't accept blog links.

I have to say that I am really thrilled. I mean, I would have loved for her to get higher, but in this day and time with the business being the way it is, #6 is great. Stevie now has 5 solo albums that have been in the top 10, that's really something to be proud of!!

Bandon · #**232** 05-12-2011, 11:56 AM

I was thinking it be a trip if both IYDs and Rumours fed on each other in terms of sales, and Rumours went back to number 1 on the charts after all these years. I doubt it would happen, but that would be very cool.

Hawkeye · #**233** 05-12-2011, 12:21 PM

Is anyone else a little scared over this Rumours recharting stuff. I mean its kind of cool, but if there was ever any hope for Fleetwood Mac to rely less heavily on that album in future sets I think it went out the window. Now they'll use this logic. "Well we have a bunch of new possible fans who are just hearing the rumors albumm for the first time, so those songs are new songs to them if they come to our concerts.

Yeah I can so see them rebranding that "Unleashed" reissue of Rumours/Greatest Hits they were talking about in 2009 and finally releasing it and doing another greatest hits tour "just this ONE TIME" for the fans. Where is the barf smiley?

Here is the latest sales data going into the weekend from Hits Daily Double. I looks like IYD is gonna drop quite a bit on the charts.

The only way this CD is going to really sell big is if she can get a hit single out there. I have not heard one of her new songs played here in Austin, and I am guessing that's probably the case in many cities.

No surprise that Adele holds onto the #1 spot next week with her XL/Columbia smash 21. In fact, she's expected to stay at the top until the week ending May 29, when Lady Gaga will debut at #1. Here's how it looks headed into the weekend:

Adele 21 (XL/Columbia) 120-130k
Now 38 (Capitol/EMI) 75-80k
*Lonely Island (Universal Republic) 60-65k
*Christina Perri (Atlantic) 45-50k
*Tyler, The Creator (XL/Beggars) 45-50k
Beastie Boys (Capitol/EMI) 40-45k
Jennifer Lopez (Island/IDJ) 35-40k
*The Cars (Hear Music/Concord) 30-35k
Mumford & Sons (Glassnote) 27-30k
Fleet Foxes (Sub Pop) 27-30k
Jason Aldean (Broken Bow) 24-27k
Lemonade Mouth (Walt Disney) 19-22k
Foo Fighters (Roswell/RCA/RMG) 19-22k
*Manchester Orchestra (Columbia) 17-20k
Adele 19 (Columbia) 17-20k
Chris Brown (Jive/JLG) 17-20k

That's still potentially in the top 20, but I agree that getting some radio play somewhere/somehow is essential. This album is too amazing to just fade away, it certainly doesn't deserve that fate.

Jondalar · #**238** 05-13-2011, 04:24 PM

I'm going to distance myself away from this album becuase if it truely tanks, it's going to make me upset. This is a great album and deserves to be heard.

It looks like it's gonna sell at least 100k in the first month, that's not tanking. It's a bit silly to be upset about whether it sells or not; it doesn't make it any less brilliant, nor should it make you like it any more or any less if it doesn't sell what it deserves to sell.
