USA Top 200 Albums

#100 Greatest Hits "We Will Rock You Edition"

Considering that Rok or Bust from AC/DC is #138 with 5,700 copies sold this week, GH from Queen has probably sold from 6,500 to 7,000 units or maybe a bit more.

2 questions for our chart experts out there

1. Can anyone tell me why GH is No100 on the Billboard Chart yet doesn't feature in the Top50 Catalogue Chart? Led Zeppelin are No1 on the Catalogue Chart and No62 on the Top200, GNR are No35 on the Catalogue Chart and No112 on the Top200, any ideas?

2. Similarly in the UK, Queen regularly place 3 or 4 songs on the Rock Singles Chart yet none of their Albums feature on the Rock Album Chart, how can this be?

As to the Billboard Top-200 chart, not only albums sales are counted, but also streamings and digital tracks. While in the Catalogue chart, I think only albums sales are counted and not streamings and digital tracks.
As to UK, it's strange the fact that their albums are never counted in the Rock Albums Chart, unlikely their singles, which do always appear in the Rock Singles Chart... :-?

If this year PC was able to sell as it did in 2014, then it would get the Platinum award towards the end of 2015.

I wonder why it suddenly switched to the WWRY edition in week 3, any ideas? Surely these editions need to be combined now to allow Greatest Hits to achieve its Diamond certificate!
