Remember not to let your fanhood cloud your intelligence.

In Stevie's case, I'm sad to say that only her diehard fans are going to buy the album on faith. The first single wasn't a huge success either.

But people my age may download it, even though it's illegal, realize they like it, and then buy her CDs.

That's what I did after all.

Hrm. I can't predict how the album will do as that seems very fluid, but I believe that "Every Day" off of Trouble In Shangri-La (which went Gold) peaked at #17 on Adult Contemporary while "Secret Love" has peaked so far at #19, so that's really not that bad.

There is a website I stumbled upon called Mediafiretrend.com. They have 4 different links up there for Stevie's album. The first one says Stevie Nicks In your dreams.iso and that link had 12, 584 downloads. The second link said Extra quality In your dreams which had 4,537 downloads. Then the third one said Hot Release In your dreams and that one had 5,362 downloads, and the fourth one said In your dreams with 12,297 downloads. Now personally I hope I am wrong about this but if this really is Stevie's album it is being downloaded by thousands of people. The bit torrent sites that I looked at had that album flagged as fake. So maybe someone from here on the ledge could go look at that website and see what you think. And if someone comes back and tells me I am an idiot I'll be happy to hear it because I don't want to see Stevie miss out on all those album sales.

They all seem to be over a week old, and one is a .exe file. They're fake.

It's okay dear, it's actually an ad that you saw for another downloading site. I went and checked. It's fake, meant to get you to subscribe to one of those monthly download sites.

And also downloads doesn't mean loss record sales. It could actually help her reach people of my generation who don't have a clue who she is. I downloaded some of her albums and loved them so much that I bought.

Had the downloads not been available, she would have loss out on the sales of her albums to me, and to others I have recommenced her to. Someone needs to inform her of that aspect of them.

This exactly. Recorded music is not necessarily the cash cow product anymore. Illegal downloading should not be feared, but embraced. Even if millions of people illegally download the album, it means millions of people are listening to it. If people are listening to it and liking it, chances are they will go out and buy some of her albums, or atleast some merch or a concert ticket. If they aren't liking it, then do you blame them for not buying it in the first place?

It is shocking that the album has not leaked yet. As everyone else has said, they really are keeping a tight lid on this one.

However, it would be nice to be able to stream a preview for each song on iTunes. I believe this to be the fault of WBR tho, because Emmylou Harris has her album coming out next Tuesday (the 26th) and you can't hear song previews from her album either on iTunes or Amazon.

Amen! Couldn't have said it better myself.

I know right. I would just set there and listen to the previews.

But I can feel it in my bones. It's gotta leak soon. I hope.

But you can listen to Emmylou's entire new album on NPR.

Personal attacks against board members will not be tolerated.

Also, the debate about Lady Gaga lyrics was moved to the Chit Chat section.

I really hope NPR/WB do this with Stevie next week. NPR streamed Adele, PJ Harvey & REM the week before their respective new releases recently. I think it's really good marketing. It gives new listeners & casual fans a much better chance to grasp the whole presentation, as opposed to song clips which can be jarring.

This is completely illogical. If millions of people download her music illegally, why on Earth would they then go and *buy* her albums? You're arguing that one behavior is going to lead to the opposite behavior which doesn't really make much sense. If they're unwilling to purchase music in the first place, I don't see how stealing music will inspire them to NOT steal music.

I just think if you're an actual fan you would want to buy the music both to keep the artist continuing to record and simply out of respect that this is their trade and they should be paid for it.
