Queen Forever charts crash

Hi, it seems QF is a huge disappointment not only for the fans but also for the record company.
In Germany it dropped from 7 (first week) down to 21 (!!!) in the second week...
Unbelieveable in a county which held "Made In Heaven" instantly at no 1 for 10 weeks as I remember. I know, it`s hard to compare, but times of joshing people are over, aren`t they?

I' d like to know if the same happended at charts in other countries????

With a light smile I have to say: It`s a self-made disappointment.....people are tired of endless compilations. Not only we fans....

Well, again (simular to "The Cosmos Rocks") there was no really promotion behind that project in germany. No TV commercials, no single... nothing. I think the record company wants to sell most of the compilation around christmas time and that time is still to come.

Many Queen fans were expecting more to this release after Brian & Roger hyped things up,
only to rip us all off.
Well its us fans who have the last laugh!
If they do not listen to the fans they deserve this album to be a flop.

Let's face it QF was never going to be huge, it'll be in the bargain bins in January !

It seems to be doing okay in the UK so far. 5-13-16, which is not bad considering the music business has changed dramatically since e.g. the "Rocks" album. I never expected it to do very well in any country. "Made in Heaven" was a completely different story, better to compare it with other compilations from recent years.

its not surprising. the only track I want is LMIYHA the other two 'new' tracks are not new and not better than the original Freddie solo tracks. Can't see them selling out the 02 with Lambert, hes rubbish.

Considering it was the record company who wanted the compilation in the first place since 2011, and probably wrung some hands as far as the pre-release promotion was concerned (because let's face it, they probably knew fans were going to be pissed off at yet another filler compilation release), I don't think Brian and Roger were all that interested to begin with.

sometimes you talk such utter cack - have you ever re-read what you've typed you bumbling idiot?

Queen Forever - UK sales to date: SILVER (based on two weeks' sales) - it's already equalled The Cosmos rocks, and closing in on Hot Space (your favourite) Flash Gordon & The Game.
with top ten peaks in austria, belgium, holland, UK, Czech rep, germany, italy, Switzerland, Korea, japan and spain
and Queen's highest USA album placing since 1992.

One concert SOLD OUT, the 2nd show has 100 seats left..........

What does Lambert have to do with this thread, anyway????

Charts positions are expected considering the whole thing aroud the album. Badly promoted, it's a compilation, the deluxe edition sucks, love kills doesn't had much, TMBMTLTT totally sucks, LMIYHA isn't a single, etc, etc

Brenski: Queen Forever still is a disappointment because it never reached the number one position like many of the artists of today have.
I get your sarcastic digs saying Hot Space is my fav Queen album , well i said its ONE of my favourite albums,
so go and have a dig at someone else's comments because all you do on here is leave negative bitchy comments.
You are very full of community spirit are you not!
LIGHTEN UP BUD!

I think that for the kind of product it is it does very well.

Better than Rocks, Cosmos Rocks and GH III.

Number 1 spot was never to be expected IMHO.

Only die hard fans are interested in the 3 'new' tracks and
everybody else should buy GH I or II (or has done this
already).

you're spouting shit again. a top five position selling almost 100,000 copies in the UK in three weeks ain't bad.
i note YOU completely disregarded all the other chart placing i referred to - in particular queen's highest USA placing for 22 years.
funny how you ignore EVERYTHING that crushes your feeble-lie-packed-bile-induced argument
secondly, why don't you do some maths and figure it out?
most albums stay at no1 for on average 2-4 weeks. that equates to 17 no1 albums per year in the UK. with four or five major label releases each week added to the dozen of lesser knowns and the increased release activity in the buildup to chrimbo - queen's odds of making number one are drastically reduced - then when pitted against floyd, foos and several "current" artists in the same week, i'd say a top 5 is respectable. you need to change your record fella before you wear the sylus out.

i'm surprised that YOU know what a community is - not having been allowed at large in one for many years.
