Will someone please ask Sheryl to focus more on radio. Radio airplay is the key to sales. Live performance backs up radio.
Who is Sheryl?
Enough of the charts. The new CD is a critcal hit and a commerical FLOP. And I really believe that's the way Stevie wanted it so she could justify to herself not touring. She has changed so over the last few years and to many of her original fans, it is very sad. I will enjoy the CD and try not to pay attention to all the nonsense surrounding her career.
Week 5 has 7470 in sales (Straight off SoundScan)
Who cares if it isn't a blockbuster, it's still a great album. What albums by such established artists ARE blockbusters these days? Stevie should be proud (she is), and eventually, someday, it may go gold. She just isn't the same person/artist she was 30 years ago, who is, or wants to be? Grow, mature, change gracefully, and she is doing just that.
Thanks for the soundscan number :)
I don't consider her constant talk about money as growing or maturing as an artist. For most of her career Stevie never mentioned financial matters. And now lately in interview after interview she says things that a very rich rock star should keep to themselves concerning her wealth and income. It is extremely crass of her.
Anyone who thinks that this album is a flop doesn't understand how much the music industry has changed in the past decade. Lady Gaga sold over a million copies of her album the week of its release. This week, she sold just over 180,000. Some of the albums in the top 10 sold less than 60,000 copies. Those aren't huge numbers, but that's the reality today. If Stevie can sell 150,000 copies, that would be great for an artist her age.
Bottom line: this album is NOT a flop, given today's climate.
Seriously, who is this troll who is contantly trashing Stevie? We get it, you think she looks bad, her album is a flop, and she's money hungry! I'm sorry, but I think you have some issues. Man, the internet is so depressing...
I am shocked at the sales figures in general. If the record industry is in such a mess will any artist be able to afford to release new material? If selling 52 000 record gets you in the top 10 then good grief - what has happened and are we seeing the end of cd's as I knew it.
As for IYD it is a masterpiece and needs to be played more on top 40 stations. If people don't hear it they will not buy it!
So Stevie has been touring pretty much the past 10 years without a solo album to promote.
She said it was better money to tour because people just burn new albums off their ITunes and give to friends, or they Limewire/frostwire it for free.
So now she releases "In your Dreams" which got her the best reviews she's gotten since "Bella Donna." And now she says the album isn't selling enough for promoters to justify a tour? HUH? SAY WHAT?
She goes on Oprah and Ellen and "Dancing with the stars" and that's it. No Letterman. No Leno. No Conan.
The first single stalled at #20 and even though there are videos already filmed and edited, no second single has been released.
The album entered at #6 on Billboard and in 6 weeks the album dropped out of the top 50.
Wait a minute. First Stevie says she didn't care how many copies the album sold. That she just wanted to tour for it.
Now she is saying it isn't selling enough to tour behind it?
Instead she basically "opened" for Rod Stewart with a 70 minute short set.
Then she played Fantasy Springs casino near Palm Springs charging an average of $100.00 per ticket, which I attended, and played the same 70 minute set, only performing "Secret Love" from the new album.
Same thing in Vegas.
The only live show she has done performing a bunch of new songs was at the Wiltern in Los Angeles on her birthday.
Now Dave Stewart is asking fans to start a Twitter campaign to get her to tour?
I never thought I would say this, but Stevie is starting to sound like she is all about the money.
She's even made comments about her wealth and other unflattering comments in various interviews lately.
Stevie didn't record a new album for 10 years because of the internet cutting sales. She's said it time and time again.
Well, perhaps if she was already on the road TOURING, appearing on all the talk shows, and what not, the album would, after getting off to a great first week in sales, be charting a lot better than it has. "Trouble in Shangri La" was awarded gold it's first 6 weeks of release.
"In your dreams" has barely sold over 100,000 copies after it's 6th week and looks to be her first solo album that won't be awarded gold status.
She already announced she was going to tour with Fleetwood Mac next year.
So why not this new album?
Could it be because the economy is bad right now and she'd rather play bigger venues instead of sucking it up and playing smaller sheds for less money?
She even made the comment that she is going to tour Australia because she could "sell out in big venues" with or without a new album, yet she is ignoring her hard core fan base right here in the U.S.A.??
Sorry Dave Stewart, but I am not going to "Twitter" a video plea to convince Stevie to tour. I have been to every tour since 1986 and Stevie has never made it so clear how it's all about the money. It used to be all about the fans.
You would think Stevie would LOVE to be out there promoting this new album, even if it meant down-sizing to smaller venues.
Yes, music sales are very very low these days thanks to digital bootlegging and what not.
But Stevie sure isn't helping matters by not plugging the album on all these late night shows that would gladly have her on.
And not touring the United States because of not wanting to play smaller venues is really UNCOOL!
That's my two cents.
9 dates of a tour have already been booked... Aug and Sept... And FYI TISL was awarded gold after 6 weeks... Doesn't necessarily mean it sold 500k it means 500k were shipped to retailers.
