Capitalizing on Glee

Jondalar · #1 05-08-2011, 09:59 PM

Here is new article about the success of the album because of Glee. I'm wondering if now wouldn't be the perfect time for them to release that Country Rumours Album. Obviously, Glee has set something in motion. I'm sure the powers that be are telling Stevie and the gang to tour... There going to find some way to capitalize on this. Mick has too many $$$$$$$ in his eyeballs.

'Rumours' has it....
Fleetwood Mac's "Rumours" may re-enter the Billboard tally next week, thanks to the power of Fox's "Glee". The TV series dedicated its entire May 3rd episode to the 1977 No. 1 album. The Cast performed six of the set's 11 songs, while a seventh album track was heard in its original form as background music. Early sales projections from industry sources suggest "Rumours" could move around 20,000 copies in the US in the week ending May 8th, which could place it among the top 30 on the billboard 200 next week.

Yeah, Rumours is still like #3 on iTunes, too.

Tbh it's kind of a shame this is happening when FM doesn't have anything to promote.

This will give them the excuse they need to promote the Rumours album the next time they tour.

Hum. I have probably 3 in a half to 4 dozen Rumours in vinyl.I probably could finance my next trip with the sales of them.

If you pay attention to twitter, alot of people are still discovering the episode. They Tvode it or something. People seem to really like that episode. I really don't understand the storyline of that show or understand how people can get soo emotionally with those characters, since a lot of it is just music.

I almost hate that people still buy FM GH when VBO is so much better.
