Stevie #6 Billboard Debut

77Rumours77 · #1 03-26-2011, 06:47 PM

What does everyone think Stevie first sales are going to be?

My guess would be a 90,000-115,000 debuting at number 4.

I could be wrong. Maybe she will get the number one spot!!!!

I just hope she cracks the top 20... top 15 would be great! Anything higher is beautiful!

ummm I would love for it to hit those numbers, but I don't think it will. She is not coming off something like the Dance. TISL sold like 104,000. This album won't sell as well initially. Hopefully around 60. Her live album bombed.

Keep in mind that Sheryl Crows, Heart, Jewel, Alanis, Melissa Ethridge, Hole's last albums have not even went gold! Women aren't doing too well unless they are Country.

Those numbers sound a bit aggressive to me. My guess is she'll crack the top 20 for sure. With Soundscan being the way album sales are now calculated, I'm betting her sales figures will be far more conservative this time around. My guess is 35,000-50,000 at most. I dearly hope I'm wrong and Stevie ropes in another top 5 spot and sells hundreds of thousands of copies... but I'm guessing that won't be the case.

I have no clue what her first weeks sales will be, but I think she could easily take #1. The only other band releasing an album that day that I've ever even heard of is Fleet Foxes, and I doubt they will be massive competition.

Didn't Christina Aguilera (at least, I THINK it was her) debut at number 1 with 45K sales?

I'm predicting a top 5/3 debut for this album, followed be a rapid decline. I think it'll go Gold within... five years.

Don't think it'll do anything outside of the US.

This is what I'm hoping. I'm hoping that this album actually has good word of mouth and stays on the charts for awhile. She really hasn't had that happen since the Wild Heart.

That has changed. Adele sold over 300,000 to get the number #1 spot. It's back up again.

But she was bumped down for a while and regained the #1 spot two days ago with only 98,000. The number 2 album was Rise Against's new album which sold 85,000and the number 3 album only pulled in 47,000.If Stevie can pull in 100,000 the first week and there are no super albums out there topping the charts (Britney Spears maybe??) then she should easily sail into #1. If not, she should have no problem getting within the top 5.

Adele's 300k sales aren't really typical though, plus she's been super-promoted and hyped up as the next big thing (and Rolling in the Deep is a kick-ass song) so that explains why she's done so well.

I'd just love for Stevie to get a #1 album, simply for the whole pageantry of the whole affair! Ten years since her last studio album, thirty years since her first solo album also hit #1... etc. It's like a musical fairytale

I'm really interested to see what Stevie does overseas, especially since she is with Dave Stewart. I'm sure there will be some animosity about Dave not being Annie. It's going to be neat to watch what happens.

I know this isn't sound scan but I thought we could use it for reference. Earlier today I checked her position on amazon and she was number six. 9PM EST the same day and she is number four

Amazon Bestsellers Rank: #90 in Music (See Top 100 in Music)
#84 in Music > Pop > General
#48 in Music > Rock > General
#4 in Music > Classic Rock > Album-Oriented Rock (AOR)

I'm from Ireland and I can't see Stevie charting very well (if at all) over here. She's not very big here at all. FM are bigger.

Fleetwood Mac's bigger everywhere, but if somehow this album ever sold a million in the U.S. it would surpass the sales of Say You Will. That would be something.
