My own view on the apparent bad chart positions on the all the Barcelona singles? title track aside.
For me the length of time between the 1st single & the album being released a whole year... so we all naturally had the album by the time the second single "the golden boy" was released & they was nothing new released as a b-side to entice us.... no left over tracks.
Not Freddies fault he put his heart & soul into the whole project, as well as recording stuff for "The Miracle" at the same time, so he was pacing himself very carefully.
My favourite track is "Guide Me Home" on the album. Yet I also love the "Guide Me Home & How Can I Go On" kind of medley on the Freddie box-set without Montserat with the different lyrics

I like Rachmaninov's Revenge, too, it just has Freddie's voice but a great preliminary.
My personal fav is the Fallen Priest, but the whole album just... made me speechless (almost didn't recognize the first time I heard). Not only the performance is great, but I also marvel at the level of the composition every time I listen to it.

The Barcelona album is definately loved by all (have you EVER met anyone who said they absolutely hated it??!!). Why not? It's fantastic! More than that! Freddie's solo stuff never did quite so well chart-wise I think because It's all completely different from Queen. Like, how many people payed attention to Brian's Starfleet project in the beginning? But, yes - FABULOUS album! Got me to respect opera and broaden my tastes in music!

How wrong I was.
