"Since Queen has sold more albums and singles than any band since the Beatles (and some estimates claim even more than them ), it is simply not an over- reach to title this new career compilation from forty-plus years of recording Queen Forever".
That's rather unlikely, isn't it?

That is not a statement by Queen or anyone connected to them. It's Red Beard's into to his interview. There is a difference.

My bad, thought it was Queen since it was their Facebook page. Still though!

You can't blame them for using someone else's quote that 'bigs them up'.....if an ex girlfriend put on her website that I had a massive cock I'd happily share that on my Facebook feed, regardless of it not being true!! :-)

I'm just surprised Redbeard said that. Queen is at what... tenth place?

Bold statements in the interview, too. A couple from dr May: "Adam is another Elvis. Not even Freddie could sing these notes... a few nights in a row". I'm glad he added that last bit ;-)

Oscar J - Fact, Queen are the biggest selling artists in the U.K. , Beatles are number 2.
USA that's another story with all your manufactured pop/hip hop/rap whatever you want to call it.

k-m I think the good doctor needs to clear out his ears - Mercury the better singer by long long country mile. Besides Adam Lambert is a young man and doesn't chain smoke like Freddie did in the eighties. Adam Lambert is okay but cannot stand his voice at the top of his register.

In the UK they could be, but what has that got to do with anything?

Auditory assault, visually annoying at best.

Queen have sold over 300 million records world wide which is something to be proud of been a Queen fan!
Freddie was right to intervene Brian & Roger all those years ago by saying " you should do more original things" or " i would do this"
Mr. Mercury was spot on and got Queen into the big time!

From looking at some very good estimates of sales data by people who check this stuff over a long time, I believe if we include album sales AND singles sales Queen are the third best selling band of all-time WORLDWIDE. The Beatles and The Rolling Stones sold more. Not bad when they had most of the 1960s to sell in as well and Queen really didn't start their record sales until 1973.

Good doctor forgot that nodules prevented Freddie from using full capabilities of his voice.
