Book a club in New York and LA, play a 20 or 23 song setlist, and play the entire Blue & Lonesome album within the setlist. It can be done! Would make a great blu-ray and live album.
Why not London? And not for a corporation, but for us fans. Plus let us know on IORR so I can book annual leave first

Darn right , the Stones regain there rightfull throne on top of the billboard charts and then my WISH is for them to mount a massive WORLD tour and go out and play stadiums and arenas and just kill the live cocert industry only the way the Glimmer Twins know how to do and just leave everybody else in the dust of there wake .This rootin tootin album is so darn good and has me so fired up right now i can hardly speak .This is the album we have all been waiting for .Bravo Mick ,Keith , Charlie and Ronnie

UK update (Friday/Tuesday)
1 Rolling Stones - Blue and Lonesome (87,069) *
2 Michael Ball & Alfie Boe - Together (48,831)
3 Little Mix - Glory Days (39,568)
4 Elvis Presley - The Wonder of You (38,370)
5 Olly Murs - 24 HRS (28,652)
Amazing numbers, the album will sell over 100k during the first week, no Stones album ever did that in homeland (40 Licks was close with 99,8k and that one debuted at #2 behind Elvis which sold 101.7k the same week)

Really impressive, georgelicks. Just curious - and for having a "figuring measure": what about the first week's numbers of Some Girs and Voodoo Lounge in Britain? I 'm asking because, if memory helps, SG is their best selling studio album ever and VL their best selling studio album of the so called 'modern era' (since 1989 or so).

Even though the UK sales are quite phenomenal, the US is disappointing… Stones are currently in 50k mark (Sales + Streaming) and might debut at #5 on Billboard charts… Much below expectations…

Don't take Hits' number as the real ones, also the last update (Friday) is the main one. Yet, the official numbers will be released on Sanday night.

"...a great unexpected success for a blues album in 2016".
KR, I think such a success would be absolutely impossible in 2016 as for any blues album, created by other artist(s). Only the Stones could do that...

Which reminds me...
I still wonder if a rolling stone gathers no moss, how do my always moving ceiling fan blades collect so much dust?

Yes, I agree with that.

Me too, I thought it was because I live at the bottom of the world, and that's where the dust settles ....

I know Hits projections differ a bit from final Billboard scores but still, top3 looks pretty unlikely for the Stones and saleswise the album is performing poorly in the US... If they end up below 100k in the first week, that's surely under expectations - the UK sales would be bigger, despite it's smaller market! Just to compare - Metallica's latest album (another big rock release this year) sold 291k in the US throughout the first week.
