It’ll drop off a cliff next week. Why is it musicians of famous bands are incapable of making good albums?

A really interesting article. What does anybody make from this paragraph that I copied and pasted from that same article…?

Music Week stripped Queen’s collection out of our calculations to prevent its prolonged chart stay - now 958 weeks and counting - exaggerating the impact of classic catalogue in any single year.

SUMMARY OF SALES CERTIFICATES IN THE UK

Queen	The Platinum Collection	Virgin	Platinum 7x	Album	22.02.2019	27.06.2011	2'100'000
Queen	Greatest Hits I II & III	Virgin	Platinum 6x	Album	14.11.2014	27.06.2011	1'800'000

Are these albums not the same? They have the same release date of 27.06.2011.
So you are counting some sales twice.
