Of course that doesn't mean he's an insider. Anyone could have trawled here and/or QOL and come to a similar conclusion.
Let's see:
Mention of a Ballad compilation
Mention of Freddie/Michael Tracks
Mention of Christmas release by William Orbit
BOOM there you go. Queen MUST be releasing a ballad compilation with the FM/MJ tracks at Christmas time!
The only thing this person has done is to put bits of info together and come up with a theoretical story.
It might very well be exactly the way it happens but it didn't sound to me like this guy had any insider info.

Never trust a Top 40 Pop Fan btw...
It's a good thing to analyse all possibilities.....my guess we will hear 4 new songs in totaal. Three MJ+FM songs + one new song. Probably Let me in your heart again. I'm almost sure of that 99%...???
More new songs, or reworked well-known ones are more than welcome of course.

I am highly doubtful we get Victory. I wouldn't be surprised to get the other 2 MJ tracks and one Queen track such as Let Me In but from everything I've heard Victory had no shot. Things could have changed but I would be shocked if Victory was included.
On Brian's website has been mentioned 3 tracks, this is a little strange then...we shall see !
I don't believe Brian ever said they were working on all 3 FM/MJ tracks. Without going back over to re-read, he's only said a few tracks (which could be 2). He did say he went to work on another Queen tracks...perhaps he implied that they had been working on 3 tracks total (2 FM/MJ, 1 simply Queen).
The other possibility is that Brian said that FM/MJ recorded 3 tracks.
Because the only time I have ever seen any suggestions that they are working on all 3 tracks from FM/MJ is from a few news reports which seemed to take:
3 tracks recorded by FM/MJ
+ BM/RT working on some tracks that FM/MJ recorded on
______
Queen + MJ will be all 3 tracks.
Not necessarily true

Indeed, it's been the media moreso pushing the "3" FM/MJ tracks without actual official confirmation from either QPL or MJ's Estate. Brian is deliberately vague for a reason or two.
SO will this compilation follow the same format as "Queen Rocks" which was a compilation of hard rock songs with a ballad at the end of it (the new classic song "No One But You (Only The Good Die Young") and have the songs that are new on it be heavy rocking songs? Or perhaps one of them? Hmmmm....
