QUEEN'S REIGN EXTENDED

7/19/22

Queen’s Greatest Hits (EMI) has become the first album to top 7m chart sales in the U.K. The 1981 collection hit the number via a combination of physical sales, downloads and streams.

Back in the pre-streaming days of 2014, Queen’s Greatest Hits was the first album to surpass 6m sales in the U.K. Greatest Hits has accumulated 1.26b U.K. streams to date with “Bohemian Rhapsody” accounting for 240m of the total, Official Charts Company announced.

“When it was released for the first time in 1981, career-spanning packages such as Greatest Hits were relatively rare, the preserve of only the very biggest acts,” Official Charts Company CEO Martin Talbot said. “Queen’s Greatest Hits can claim to be in more than one-in-four U.K. households’ record collections today, and there is no doubt that its massive success has done as much as any other release to turn hits packages into the omnipresent album concept that they are today.”
