So irritating that Queens studio albums have never been updated.

[slightlymad]

Over at Chartmasters they had Queen's UK Studio Album Sales as follows dated January 2020

A Night At The Opera - 1,625,000
Made In Heaven - 1,420,000
A Kind Of Magic - 1,310,00
The Works - 1,010,000
Sheer Heart Attack - 805,000
A Day At The Races - 800,000
News Of The World - 705,000
The Miracle - 650,000
Innuendo - 635,000
Queen II - 615,000
Queen - 600,00
Jazz - 525,000
The Game - 420,000
Flash Gordon - 295,000
Hot Space - 285,000
Total Studio Albums = 11,700,000

I would hope that both Flash Gordon and Hot Space would be Platinum by now meaning Queen should have

1 x 5 x Platinum Studio Album - A Night At The Opera
2 x 4 x Platinum Studio Albums - A Kind Of Magic and Made In Heaven
1 x 3 x Platinum Studio Album - The Works
7 x 2 x Platinum Studio Albums - Sheer Heart Attack, A Day At The Races, News Of The World, The Miracle, Innuendo, Queen and Queen II
4 x 1 x Platinum Studio Albums - Jazz, The Game, Flash Gordon and Hot Space

Not too bad for a 70's / 80's band but doesn't really compare to modern day acts like Coldplay, Robbie, Ed or Adele, However Queen do make up some ground with Greatest Hits Packages!

It looks like the spike for Queen on iTunes in Ireland was due to the Legendary Country star Garth Brooks! Garth recently played to 400,000 people at Dublins Croke Park and during the shows he dedicated a Queen Medley to who he considers the greatest entertainer to ever live 'Freddie Mercury'. The medley included Queen Classics such as Who Wants To Live Forever, Radio GaGa, Bohemian Rhapsody, Another One Bites The Dust and We Will Rock You.

Tomorrow sees the 'World Premiere' of a new Queen Single 'Face It Alone' on BBC Radio 2 (Although it has been played on French radio already!)

This is a beautiful ballad recorded during The Miracle sessions in 1988. It is a preview of the imminent Re-release of The Miracle album as a Box Set. No official press release has been released yet but one is expected very shortly as the box set is to be unveiled at this weekends Queen Convention.

Having now heard the track which has some incredible Freddie vocals throughout it will be interesting to see how Face It Alone will chart worldwide.

Watch this Space.

[Rockintunesbaby]

Having now heard the track which has some incredible Freddie vocals throughout it will be interesting to see how Face It Alone will chart worldwide.

I’d like to think it will be a worldwide smash hit but it won’t. I remember when ‘Let me in your heart again’ was released, it pretty much disappeared despite, I think, it being a great song.
