In one way I'm disappointed but in the other it's done far better than I thought it would. I'm still surprised it went top 5.

I wonder what caused its return would have sold at least 1k to get there.

That I'm unsure of but it is welcomed no matter the reason.
Returns such as this moves the album up the sales ladder and closer to 400,000 sales for Odyssey.

Ya it will be great when it gets to 400,000, i would have much prefered a release of the original hits on odyssey as i dont really listen to any of the new versions, its mainly the live versions of their songs i listen to the most and thankfully all of their singles have brilliant live versions.

If the movie is a success which is most likely, it will help sales to 400,000.

It's recent chart return shows its still selling which slowly helps build up long term sales.

Having kept up with the charts for the last few years, one thing stands out. Traditional greatest hits albums are DOMINATING the album charts, and have been for years. Not just older but newer released collections within the last ten years.

Maroon 5, Green Day, My Chemical Romance, Fall Out Boy, 50 Cent, Phil Collins etc.

The other thing in common is that none of these newer released greatest hits, which have hung around during the last 5-10 years since release, changed anything. No reinterpretations or remixes.

I can't help but feel 'Odyssey' should have been 'Greatest Hits: Vol 2'. 2006-2018 with the new tracks still on but the original versions. I appreciate they wanted to be different and the argument was that people already owned/knew the original versions.

However, clearly that isn't the case and these albums are going strong without alterations. They should have 'Odyssey' down as a remix album and put out 'Greatest Hits: Vol 2', or like Queen have a 2 and 3, double album. It could also reintroduce their audience.

Thoughts?

I agree Odyssey should have been a Greatest Hits volume 2 and the songs as they were when released as i think it may also have done better than odyssey, although odyssey has done ok to be fair. Im not a huge fan of the reworked versions and i think the songs since they reformed were more than worthy to be part of a new greatest hits as they were. I know many acts on the chart are doing well with their greatest hits but Take That have the million selling original greatest hits, never forget on about 2.5 million so they would have taken away from the success.
