Christine is in my store (thanks to me) and I am sure after 12 months if it has not sold it will be returned to the company by bribery |

It did get played on Radio 2 a few times. As far as I know she did some press interviews here but only one radio interview with that pratt Steve Wright (who thought the songs were about Dennis Wilson and asked her how much money she had) It seemed to be doing OK on the pre-release ratings but then when it was released I think everybody who intended all along to buy it got their copy and no-one else was very interested. (Their loss) It would be interesting to see how many copies have been sold to date worldwide but I doubt she was relying on sales to pay the bills! I imagine she still has enough to feed Dougal and George. Gail |

Some additional ITM info
It did not make the Billboard top 200, but made #32 on the independant album charts! The single 'Friend' made #29 on the Adult Contemporary chart

I have the official UK chart position now!
#133 for 1 week on 03.07.04 I now highly doubt it sold more than 500 copies that week, let alone 500 copies so far!!

The low sales are pretty sad, especially since it's a fantastic record. If she'd released it in the mid-80s, ITM would have charted very well, I think--even more so than her second solo album.

Hey folks. I know thread is a few months old, but I guess this could be a reminder to people that never got around to buying ITM, to do so sooner rather than later, since as mentioned, it could go OOP soon (if it isn't now).
jr.com and amazon both have it for $10. Also wanted to mention that I heard Friend a few times on the Hot AC/modern rock station here in Nashville, back when it was released. I remember seeing it listed on their playlist online back then too (wrlt.com). They played the singles from SYW, and are playing Lindsey's single now (you'll see it listed there). I also heard Friend played over the PA in a couple different grocery/dept. stores around here. |

I've also heard "Friend" in the grocery store. I think it made its way onto an adult contemporary music compilation to be played in retail businesses. I've heard other Christine songs over the years in the same grocery store.
As for In the Meantime's lackluster sales figures, that has nothing to do with the quality of the music and everything to do with the lack of promotion. I second the motion to go out and buy ITM now, before it is unavailable. The reason to buy it has nothing to do with some silly idea of being a 'Fleetwood Mac completist' -- the reason to buy it is because it is a really great album. Anyone who enjoys Christine's music with Fleetwood Mac will enjoy this album.

I've also heard "Friend" in the grocery store. And, "Don't Stop", "You Make Loving Fun", "Hold Me" & "Little Lies". Just about about all of the Fleetwood Mac related songs that I've heard while grocery shopping have been Christine McVie songs.
