Surprised nobody mentioned this yet. GH has this week surpassed the 6 million mark in the UK, making Queen the first and perhaps only band to do so. Abba being the nearest rival falling nearly 1 million copies short of the mark.
Adele is snapping at their heels, but as it is an album and not a hits collection I would think sales will eventually drop to a lower weekly ebb than GH before it gets that far.
Wonder what the amount is for worldwide sales for GH.

No, that's the US sales figure, the global figure is MUCH higher than that. Something like 25 million.

Maybe we didn't comment because few of us actually own it. Why WOULD we? :-) (Had Flix, almost bought Pix.)

Good point yes, I don't own either Greatest Hits I or II in any format either!
I do have GHIII though.

I think to most Americans, 'US' and 'Global' mean the same thing?!! :-)

I agree with that and I'm from the U.S. of A.! Ha, ha!

"don't own greatest hits" ?? - Crikey! - its logical that having the tracks on other albums negates the reason for having it, but the concept of playing this album as its own historical concept, all wrapped up with Snowdens artwork is one of life's great pleasures my dears !

REAL SAD!
It says to them they can feed people with GHs again, again and again. We'll never see something new and rare if "simply crowd" still buys thesecrappy complilations.
