Posted July 17, 20205 yr And another Queen article on the OCC web site today 50 incredible Official Chart facts about Queen Here's some of those facts. Queen’s Greatest Hits is the bestselling album in UK music history, with paid-for sales of 6.37 million as of July 2020. Bohemian Rhapsody is the second bestselling Christmas Number 1 ever, with paid-for sales of 2.6 million. Bohemian Rhapsody now has 154.7 million plays. Don’t Stop Me Now is Queen’s most downloaded song, with 577,487 sales. Greatest Hits II ranks third best-selling hits collection of all time in the UK. It’s current paid-for sales are 4.07m as of July 2020.
July 18, 20205 yr Regarding The OCC's Friday July 17th Article, about 50 Queen Chart Facts: The Article gives Queen's 'Greatest Hits' 6,370,000 UK Sales. However, in 2006, The OCC allowed 626,000 Sales, to be added to it from 2 other Queen releases. (560,000 - 'The Platinum Collection' - 2000, 66,000 - 'Greatest Hits I & II - 1994). If you remove, those 'Enhanced Sales', it has really sold around 5,744,000. It would still be the UK's Best Selling Album. However, 'ABBA Gold' is 2nd, with an estimated 5,726,000 UK Sales. There are really only about 18,000 UK Sales, between them. (To W/E 23rd July 2020). The OCC never mention, that 626,000 UK Sales, of the 1981 Queen 'Greatest Hits' Album, are from 2 other Queen releases... Note -- For 'ABBA Gold', I'm using the estimated 5,721,000 Sales from this Thread - Sunday July 5th. Then, I've added in a combined Total of 5,000 UK Sales, for these Weeks - W/E 16th July and W/E 23rd July. http://www.buzzjack.com/forums/index.php?s...20&start=20 The OCC say that, Queen's 'Greatest Hits II', has sold 4,070,000, in the UK. That makes it the UK's 10th Best Selling Album. If you remove its 'Enhanced Sales', then that 1991 Album has 3,440,000 UK Sales. Which makes it fall to 16th place, in the List of the UK's Top 60 Best Selling Albums... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_best-..._United_Kingdom The fact, that 'Greatest Hits I' and 'Greatest Hits II', were given 626,000 'Enhanced Sales', (each), in 2006, was confirmed by Alan Jones, in 'Music Week', in September 2009. ('Greatest Hits III' - 1999, was also given 560,000 Sales from 'The Platinum Collection')... Edited July 18, 20205 yr by zeus555
July 18, 20205 yr Says the Gaga Stan :lol: Gaga has more talent than the four members of Queen put together. :jump:
July 18, 20205 yr Gaga has more talent than the four members of Queen put together. :jump: :rofl: LOL. Don't think I've laughed as much in all my life. Freddie had more talent in his little finger nail than GaGa has ever had or will ever have and that comes from me who quite likes her music.
July 18, 20205 yr Gaga wouldn't even have her name if it wasn't for Queen! She named herself after one of their songs.
July 18, 20205 yr The trolls should do some back research before making a fool of themselves Lady Gaga wouldn't approve
July 18, 20205 yr :rofl: LOL. Don't think I've laughed as much in all my life. Freddie had more talent in his little finger nail than GaGa has ever had or will ever have and that comes from me who quite likes her music. Your opinion doesn't matter to me, i said what i said. :jump:
July 18, 20205 yr Gaga wouldn't even have her name if it wasn't for Queen! She named herself after one of their songs. And what does the fact that she used a Queen song to build her stage name have to do with the fact that she's more talented than all of them put together? No correlation at all.
July 18, 20205 yr The trolls should do some back research before making a fool of themselves Why are you talking bad about yourself? :rofl:
July 19, 20205 yr There is always confusion around the actual sales of the original greatest hits as I thought I read somewhere ut was close to 7 million sales.
July 19, 20205 yr Gaga has more talent than the four members of Queen put together. :jump: Post of the year
July 19, 20205 yr The only one of these facts I found particularly surprising was: Queen are the only act in Official Chart history to do the Official Chart Double with two greatest hits collections. Edited July 19, 20205 yr by jimwatts
