I am extremely disappointed, & I guess my estimate (No. 1) was off by quite a ways. I just don't understand it.

I'm not disappointed, considering what the CD is—another retrospective with the same songs we have all heard before.

I think the DVD is the real prize here and I hope she gets rewarded for it.

This should come as no surpise to anyone. The album was very quietly released. Outside of a couple of TV appearences, the album has gotten practically zero promotion. This isn't 1981 anymore kids, Stevie's chart topping days are long behind her.

It is not a retrospective...a retrospective is catagorized as a compilation of songs recorded at different periods of time...this album was recorded all at the same time and is not considered a retrospective. We know you don't really care for the CD, but please don't diminish it and its integrity just to prove your point.

These are soundscan numbers.... Hit's collects data, but they usually differ slightly from what ends up being the end number and published in Billboard.

Right...although i think she promoted the hell out of it for having only a short time off of the FM tour. Also, a lot of the albums in the top 50 are albums that were released months and months ago...Taylor Shift's 2006 and 2008 albums are still on there, and so are Kanye West, Pink, Britney Spears and Adele, all of whom released their albums in 2008.

Agreed. And Please. How still my love, Circle Dance, Crash, Beauty and the beast, If anyone falls, and Fall from grace live IN NO WAY classify as " oh just the same ol stuff we always get."

The Cd is wonderful.

And yes, the DVD is AMAZING, and yes, The promotion of this should be waaaaaaaaaaaay better than it is/was. THey should sell Stevies, Buckinghams, and Micks new stuff at the merch stands at concerts.

There are about 15 new albums in the Top 50, Stevie's is one of the lower selling albums of the new releases from last week. I think it did very well considering that it is not a new album per se, it's a "live" album which unless you're on a current hit making roll and are able to slip it in after a HUGE album, never do that well on the charts. I don't think the label expected to by a top ten seller. Sadly it will probably drop down to the lower regions of the top 100 next week. These days you only get one week to make your impact.

Hey Aaron, I can't agree more!!

I do feel, for the time she had, she DID do some good promotion work- the B & N signing, Jimmy Fallon show (altho I wish it would have been on a more MAJOR show like David Letterman or The Ellen show) and Today show.. It's definitely NOT classified as "the same old stuff" by any means, and you are SOOOOO right there buddy!

No.. I used to really love him, and have seen him in concert several times, but when he changed his name.. he lost me..

I LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOVE Prince! Everything up to, and maybe including

, The Gold Experience (1994? 95?) is a prized part of my cd collection. But after that. . . . .

Maybe I'm wrong about the new cd, but I think he just burned out all of his creativity and relevance, but good on him for releasing just about a great album every year for a decade-and-a-half.

I'm just surprised that after another decade-and-a-half of mediocre stuff he's still selling albums.

Of course, I think the once GREAT Elvis Costello should have retired in 1986.

It's funny how some artists remain interesting and others don't.

But like I said: maybe I'm wrong about Prince. . .
