Does anyone know where the sales for the re-issue of NOTW will be allocated? We already know that the picture disc has sold 1977 copies and surely the box set should add at least another 500 or so. So if these sales of an estimated 2,500 copies are given as UK sales then the album should chart inside the Top50!

We'll have to wait until next Friday to see unless someone can shed some light on the matter ;-)

News of the World re-enters the UK charts at No58, 5 places below Greatest Hits!

Will this be deemed a success by the powers that be, I'm not sure. It has to be pointed out that the UK charts is based on units sold so obviously the revenue form NOTW will be considerably larger than that of GH. There is also no confirmation yet on units sold or wether the total sold will include the Picture Disc as well, we shall wait and see

Is this a good result for Queen? If anybody finds out anymore chart positions for the NOTW 40th Box set please post them. I do think Queen Productions have made a mistake by not releasing a 3cd/dvd version of the box and that chart positions and sales would be a lot better if they had!

Re: Queen :: Charts & Sales History

I agree with you. I would have expected a multi-format release, able to satisfy the tastes of everybody. The sales would have surely been better.
At the moment I have the following results:

Netherlands: #92
Italy #96

Does anybody know why Hollywood records occasionally switches Queen's digital sales from the individual Greatest Hits albums to the Platinum Collection and visa versa? This week in America The Platinum Collection has dropped out of all charts to be replaced by Greatest Hits.

That time of the year again when Thank God It's Christmas gets played. By no means a big seller for Queen but it does okay every Christmas.
I do wish that Queen would do an official video for the track, perhaps an animated Christmas themed one, I'm sure it would do wonders for the songs popularity I wonder what it's worldwide sales would be in the digital era?

Never understood this chart.
Could anybody explain it? Especially UK Rock & Metal ALBUM Chart, why there're no Queen albums, all the time, even GH?

I am very curious about this as well.

Another reason why streaming sucks!

Is it because the streaming for individual songs cannot be split between 2 albums? It has to be one album that all the streaming has to be credited to?

I guess it depends on which album is streamed more in a given week.

Attn thebigham & HUR and others if they know

Riaa shows
CRAZY LITTLE THING CALLED LOVE
With release date OCTOBER 17, 1994!!
Platinum | August 14, 2017 GROUP Standard 1 Million ROCK 
Gold | May 12, 1980

ANOTHER ONE BITES THE DUST

WE ARE THE CHAMPIONS
Platinum | April 25, 1978GROUPStandard1 Million

And BOHEMIAN RHAPSODY
Gold | June 3, 1976GROUPStandard 0.5 Million

I thought that critera at that time was
gold singles 1 million sales and platinum singles 2 million (until end of the 80ties ?)
I have not been able to find confirmation of this on the riaa site (I may have missed it).

And
Ref CLTCL
Is this about 2 separate releases?
80 release gold
94 release platnium
Or is 94 just a clerical error?

Do you guys know?
Cheers!
