WATCH Queen's Roger Taylor and Brian May react to becoming Official Charts Record Breakers
This comes after Queen became the first act in Official Charts history to surpass 7 million Uk chart 'sales' of an album with their unstoppable Greatest Hits collection.
Earlier this year, Greatest Hits reached this record-breaking achievement through a combination of physical sales, downloads and streams.
Back in 2014, Queen’s Greatest Hits became the first album to ever surpass 6 million sales in the UK and, as pure sales (physical and digital download copies) of the collection continue to increase, the group’s back catalogue proves enduringly popular in the modern streaming age. Greatest Hits has accumulated an incredible 1.26 billion total UK streams to date, with the album’s most-streamed track being Bohemian Rhapsody, which boasts 240 million UK streams and counting.
Queen's Face It All is out now. Queen The Miracle Collector's Edition box set is released November 18.

Peerless spine tingling vocals from Freddie 100 % pure talent and emotion. Queen along with the Beatles are the greatest artists in popular music history. Anyone that disparages them only shows up their pig ignorance and their own parchant for talentless automatons releasing souless , like Sheeran and Styles to mention just two modern day frauds masquerading as musicians YUK!

Love Queen but this is just a money grab. The new Queen with Adam is just a glorified karaoke band.

Agreed, Adam Lambert is a dreadful grating singer. Freddie was out of this world and is irreplaceable.

Angela, Freddie was great, but this is just easy money from the fame hungry living members of Queen; Sheeran and Styles are way better than those two disgusting surviving members of a band that just hide the real Freddie and want more money. So dreadful are your comments badmouthing everyone but the real souless so called musicians

With the awful Beatles, the most overrated band: EVER!!!
