Queen + Adam Lambert performed a mini-set of “We Will Rock You,” “Don’t Stop Me Now” and “We Are the Champions” at Buckingham Palace last month to celebrate the Queen Elizabeth II’s 70 years on the throne. Originally released in 1981, Greatest Hits enjoyed four weeks at No. 1 and includes the Freddie Mercury-led hits “Bohemian Rhapsody,” “Flash,” “Killer Queen,” “You’re My Best Friend,” “Somebody To Love,” “We Are The Champions,” “We Will Rock You,” and “Under Pressure,” their collaboration with David Bowie. On its release, notes Martin Talbot, CEO of the Official Charts Company, career-spanning packages such as Greatest Hits “were relatively rare, the preserve of only the very biggest acts.” The collection “can claim to be in more than one-in-four U.K. households’ record collections today, and there is no doubt that its massive success has done as much as any other release to turn hits packages into the omnipresent album concept that they are today.” Its most-streamed track, according to the OCC, is “Bohemian Rhapsody” with upwards of 240 million U.K. plays. The LP also recently celebrated its 1,000th week on the Official Albums Chart, with Queen becoming the first British act ever to reach the mark, and third overall after ABBA and Bob Marley, and it’s one of the rockers’ ten U.K. No. 1s. Queen reigns in the U.K., where the legendary rock act’s Greatest Hits (via Polydor) passes seven million chart sales, becoming the first album to do so.
