Fleetwood Mac top this weeks @billboard Current Boxscore for Oct 1st Manchester, UK show

Fleetwood Mac's one night stand October 1, 2013 in Manchester, UK sits atop this week's Current Boxscore Top 130 listing of the top grossing shows reported to Billboard with gross ticket sales in excess of just over $2 million dollars. This puts Manchester in the lead as the single highest grossing show of the 2013 world tour - based on tour stats reported to Boxscore and Billboard. The only other city to gross higher (based on reported numbers) was London at $6.4 million, but that was for 3 nights. 

Impressive number for one show!

Video: Bill Murray reveals he helped Stevie Nicks during rough time with his movie Caddyshack

Bill Murray tells Charlie Rose on CBS This Morning while talking about the effect Caddyshack has on people, how the movie helped Stevie saying:

 “You know who Stevie Nicks is from Fleetwood Mac?” the actor, currently co-starring in The Monuments Men, began. “I always thought she was like an ice queen. [But] she just walked up [to me] and said, ‘You know, I was having a hard time once. And I watched [Caddyshack] for a week or something. I just kept watching that movie. And it just cheered me up so much.’”

Murray revealed that the compliment gave him a new perspective on his comedy career. “I thought, ‘Man, if I did something like that for someone who is such an important person to so many people’ . . . I felt really good about that.”

This week on the charts: Fleetwood Mac | Stevie Nicks "Seven Wonders" and "Rumours" Bound

USA - February 15, 2014

Fleetwood Mac released 'Rumours' 37 years ago this past February 4th and although the album took a giant leap up the charts this week after re-entering the charts three weeks ago, I'm not entirely sure it was due to it's anniversary.  This week the album moves up the Billboard Top 200 to No.59 from No.191 last week. That's a fairly significant increase in sales week over week.  The bounce on the charts could largely be due to Stevie's appearance on American Horror Story, as I didn't see any deep discounting of the album online. 

SEVEN WONDERS IS A SALES WONDER

Fleetwood Mac's classic '80's tune "Seven Wonders" featured during the cold opening of the season finale of American Horror Story on January 29th benefits from the exposure on the show and Stevie's Guest Appearance.  According to Billboard, the song sold 13,000 downloads during the tracking period ending February 2nd. This is an increase in sales of 9,086% vs what the song did the week prior. On the Rock Digital Songs Chart the song debuts this week at No.18.  In 1987 when the song was originally released as the second single from the album Tango In The Night, it peaked at No.19 on the Billboard Hot 100 and at No.2 on the Mainstream Rock chart.

Stevie's new film 'In Your Dreams' in it's 9th week of release hits it's lowest point on the Top 50 Music DVD Sales Chart moving down this week to No.27 from No.22 last week.

Australia, New Zealand, Canada and Ireland charts below... The UK to follow later today.

Interview: Stevie Nicks estimates what she currently does will go on 6-7 more years - then on to Art

Interview with Ultimate Classic Rock:

Stevie Nicks tells Ultimate Classic Rock that if she ever decides to record another album, she couldn't do it in the 'In Your Dreams' house... she'd have to move to a different house.

She also says that what she currently does will likely go on another 6-7 years, then she'll flip over to Art. She would really like to show the art / drawings she's worked on for years and for the most part have kept away from the world.
