Queen :: Charts & Sales History

[bestiamodesta]

Not bad considering The Cosmos Rocks has only sold 85k since it's release, Absolute Greatest might beat that figure in it's first week !

---



Is simple... Cosmos is not a Queen album... Absolute Greatest is nothing new but for sure a Queen album.

There's no Queen without the King.

[HUR]

Thank you, it is doing better than I thought.

It has also climbed on itunes.

[EdWood]

So with Friday AND Saturdays sales yet to come I can see this easily doing 90,000 in its 1st week UK sales - Saturday should have good sales with everybody off work and doing their Christmas shopping...

In the UK midweek chart Robbie is down from #2 to #4.

Looks like Queen's Absolute Greatest should be No 3, then

Only about 4 Million people live in Eire -
Ireland. So being No.1 there is a good place
to be, in the Charts - but the Sales are small.

The Queen Album looks set to be in the UK Top 5, on
Sunday 22nd November.

However it possible chart topper a few weeks later...

being number 1 in Ireland means very little, its a very small market, as is their economy. A number in Germany, France or the UK now that would be something to talk about!

Even if it would be just Luxemburg with its 100 buyers, it still would be great to have No 1 there.

On UK Itunes album chart, Absolute Greatest currently at numbers 8 and 31 - i take it the album charting at number 31 is the 2 disc version??...

Yes, that is what I guess. It is top 10 in some countries, like Austria and Mexico.

I would love to see this compilation do well, even though its just a cash in, however, I dont think it will do so well. The reason being is simple, why should people buy it, when they can get the other albums, the Platinum collection is much better, or even the original greatest hits. I still think 500k worldwide tops.

Well number 4 in the album charts and with 25,000 sales in the UK already, I can't really agree with your prediction Nucleardolphin....

Only another 65,000 sales this in the UK for my estimation to come true....

Hiya Hur.

Dont worry mate.Greatest Hits generally speaking start to sell more later in the week.

One question mate?Its the set being relerased in the US and if so when?

Thanks in advance for the feedback.

Yes, it will be released today if I'm not wrong.

I hope Edwood is right with his predictions.
