Album Description
Available in: Country Icon Country Icon Country Icon
Greatest Hits is a compilation album by the British rock group Queen. When released in November 1981, the album consisted of Queen's best-selling singles since their first chart appearance in 1974 with "Seven Seas of Rhye", up to their 1980 hit "Flash" (though in some countries "Under Pressure", the band's 1981 chart-topper with David Bowie, was included). There was no universal track listing or cover art for the album, and each territory's tracks were dependent on what singles had been released there and which were successful.
Queen's Greatest Hits was an instant success, peaking at number one on the UK Album Chart for four weeks. It has spent 476 weeks in the UK Charts, and is the best-selling album of all time in the UK. It is certified eight times platinum in the United States, and is Queen's most commercially successful album worldwide with over 25 million copies sold, making it one of the best-selling albums of all time.

User Album Review
The first volume is one of the most successful albums of all time, having shifted 25 million copies and covers the first stage of their career, spanning Seven Seas of Rye (1974) to Flash (1980). In amongst the songs that even your grandma knows (Bohemian Rhapsody, We Will Rock You, Don’t Stop Me Now) are a few gems that show exactly how weird Queen were for a mainstream rock group, such as the futuristic howling pomp-rock of Now I’m Here.
