Yeaaah! A new CD! With all the same songs as usual.. Press Release: Queen - Greatest Hits In Japan QUEEN CONFIRM TRACK LIST FOR SPECIAL FAN-VOTED ALBUM “GREATEST HITS IN JAPAN” DEFINITIVE COLLECTION OF THE BAND AS SELECTED BY JAPANESE FANS TO MARK THEIR JAPAN TOUR 2020 FEATURING TOP-VOTED 12 CLASSIC QUEEN SONGS DUE TO BE RELEASED 15TH JANUARY 2020 (CD, LIMITED CD/DVD RELEASE EXCLUSIVE TO JAPAN) As part of their massively-successful global tour, titled “Rhapsody Tour”, Queen + Adam Lambert return to Japan in January 2020. To mark the much-anticipated tour of the Land of the Rising Sun, “Greatest Hits in Japan”, a special compilation album featuring Top 12 classic Queen songs voted by Japanese fans, is set to be released on 15th January in 2020. The voting took place through an online form via a special section on Queen Official Site in Japan link from Wednesday 6th to Monday 25th November 2019, where, as a general rule, fans residing in the country were invited to cast their votes for their favourite song by Queen off their 15 original studio albums under the one-person-one-vote principle. All participants were required to make a hard decision to choose only one song to vote for from the great list of 172 tracks in total. The response was overwhelming, and we would like to thank all the 11,988 voters who helped to compile the special album. The top-voted 12 songs will now comprise the final tracklisting for the album, which can truly be called “the definitive collection of Queen as selected by Japanese fans”. After tallying all the votes, the top 40 fan-voted tracks are as follows: 1. Somebody To Love: 1290 votes 2. Don’t Stop Me Now: 791 votes 3. Teo Torriatte (Let Us Cling Together): 484 votes 4. Spread Your Wings: 474 votes 5. Killer Queen: 469 votes 6. The Show Must Go On: 429 votes 6. Bohemian Rhapsody: 429 votes 8. ’39: 420 votes 9. The March of the Black Queen: 360 votes 10. Good Old Fashioned Lover Boy: 326 votes 11. Keep Yourself Alive. 300 votes 12. Radio Ga Ga: 291 votes 13. Love Of My Life: 281 votes 14. I Was Born to Love You: 251 votes 15. These Are The Days Of Our Lives: 231 votes 16. Seven Seas of Rhye: 188 votes 17. Another One Bites The Dust: 183 votes 18. Save Me: 176 votes 19. We Are The Champion: 170 votes 20. Let Me Live: 160 votes 21. Under Pressure: 149 votes 22. Friends Will Be Friends: 142 votes 23. Brighton Rock: 123 votes 24. Too Much Love Will Kill You: 121 votes 24. Liar: 121 votes 24. In The Lap Of The Gods Revisited: 121 votes 27. I Want It All: 117 votes 28. You're My Best Friend: 114 votes 29. Hammer to Fall: 103 votes 30. It's A Hard Life: 102 votes 31.

Nevermore: 83 votes 38. Stone Cold Crazy: 80 votes 39. The Millionaire Waltz: 80 votes 40. You and I: 79 votes The top 12 fan-voted tracks make their way onto the final cut of the album. The physical CD release of the album will be exclusive to Japan, with the digital available worldwide. The limited-edition CD will contain a DVD including music videos from the top 12 songs. Having celebrated their magnificent 48th anniversary, Queen phenomenally keeps on astonishing the world from East to West, while the special bond that the band and Japan have built since the early years is globally well known. The story began in the days when the band made the first visit to Japan as early as 1975, where the quartet received a truly passionate and hearty welcome. The song “Teo Torriatte (Let Us Cling Together)”, which the band wrote during their stay in the country, with choruses sung in Japanese, is a beautiful token of the precious relationship. Having been placed at number 3 in the voting, the song is naturally to be featured on the upcoming greatest hits album. The Queen film “Bohemian Rhapsody”, the biggest-grossing music biopic of all time, was also a super smash hit in Japan becoming the biggest film release of the year. Overall sales (digital and physical) of the band’s whole catalogue together with the acclaimed soundtrack album have amounted to over 1.6 million units/copies in Japan alone so far this year. The participants of the vote covered a wide range of generations, from youngsters whose first encounters with the band were through the phenomenal biopic to long-time dedicated fans from the ‘70s. While the fact that not a few of the earlier classics made the top 12 reminds how much tremendous love and support the band has received from their loyal Japanese fans since the dawn of their career, the tracks from the albums released in the ‘80s and ’90s are impressively placed high in the rankings as well, which exemplifies the band’s magnificent popularity, coupled with their universal appeal, and enduring influence in Japan over four decades. To reflect the concept of “the compilation as selected by Japanese fans”, the artwork for the album, simply called “Greatest Hits in Japan”, will feature splendid traditional Japanese designs and patterns. The CD booklet also includes some photographs of Freddie’s beautiful Japanese garden. And from the fans who participated in the voting, around 700 names will be credited to the booklet by lottery. In addition, a draw among the voters has been made to decide on the five lucky winners to receive personal autographs by Brian May and Roger Taylor. The winners will receive the prize without any prior announcement. “To our Japanese fans, we always appreciate your passionate support. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. After seeing the poll results and the final tracklist, I realised again how much you have loved us since early times. I guess this is a unique amazing selection that probably only Japanese fans could make. Very much looking forward to seeing you soon at our shows in January! Wishing you a Happy New Year!!" Brian May “To all Japanese Queen followers, we can never thank you enough for your undying support through all these years. We have grown up and older together, and I think the final tracklisting for the fan-vote album is the proof of our long-standing bond, Some of your choices of our songs were a bit of a pleasant surprise, and made me grin as well, for this seems to be a very Japanese selection you can find nowhere else, which I love! Look forward to seeing you all at the concerts and having a great time together! Wishing you a Wonderful 2020!"

Interesting that MOTBQ wasn't ignored. Perhaps the start of future Queen comps addressing non-singles like pretty much every other major band has the guts to do. An interesting release IMO. |

And the press release states “ Having celebrated their magnificent 48th anniversary...”..... They formally celebrated their 20th in Feb 1990 after the Brits, so surely that should be 49th anniversary? |

when did queen really start... would they have been the band we currently know as Queen without John? i guess that's the difference. they formed Queen in 1970 but John joined in in 1971. So it's Queen the idea vs Queen the band. I think it's safe to say, without John, you can't really say with certainty they would have been as successful - or even have achieved any success really. There will be something for 50 years of Queen. let's see when that is. |

I guess you're right. They celebrated their 40th anniversary in 2011 so i guess it will be next year. |

On Amazon.co.jp, the CD+DVD+calendar combo for Greatest Hits Japan is the #1 seller for the Music>Rock category. The combo without the calendar is #4, and the CD+calendar combo is #11, so it seems to be selling well. The calendar is the size of a 7" single and each month features an image of the vinyl/CD jacket of the song when it was originally released in Japan. So, January features an image of Somebody to Love as it was released in 1976 in Japan. If it was never released as a single, the calendar will just have the image of the Greatest Hits Japan cover. |

May and Taylor, and the Queen organization, are businessmen. This release is meant to promote their upcoming tour of Japan. They must have decided that such a release will be profitable, or they would not have done it. Simple as that. |

It would be interesting if they would play the greatest hits live in Japan including MOTBQ |
| anadamfan 13.01.2020 14:01 |
Very interesting. I would be happy, if they played the Top 20 (or at least top 12) in the upcoming QAL tours. :) „Spread your Wings“ was dearly missed, when they dropped it after only 8 concerts during the 2017 US Tour. The only songs they haven’t played are „Good old fashioned Lover Boy“ and „March of the Black Queen“. The first one has been on Adam’s Queen playlist on Spotify last year and was therefore already rumored to make an appearance in the set of 2019. So quite possible, I would say. MotbQ is one of my all times favorites. Maybe they could play it as part of a medley like 1975. But I won’t be too positive about that. The appearance of Innuendo as opener had already been a great surprise! |

Back around 1981 when I really started getting into Queen I put on my brother's NotW LP and WWRY leading into Champions was a special moment. Really blew me away. Maybe mp3 players don't do it justice these days. |

| AlbaNo1 13.01.2020 19:51 |
It’s pretty much designed for live so no doubts there. But the record is sensational. The crispness of the handclap, the acoustics of the raw and primal beat, harmonious chanted chorus and the slow build up of the guitar are somewhat lost in the live version. Whether you prefer live or recorded it’s interesting Japan have overlooked it when the rest of the world has it near the top. Half a billion Spotify hits, 370 million YouTube hits, featured in countless adverts and played in stadiums all over Europe /US. |
| anadamfan 13.01.2020 19:56 |
Maybe everyone just thought, that WWRY doesn’t even need to be mentioned, because everyone else would choose it. Sometimes that’s the only reason, why clear choices don’t get enough votes. Or Japanese fans don’t like it. That would be interesting to know. |
| Holly2003 13.01.2020 21:00 |
Maybe those giant stomps remind Japanese fans of their nemesis, Godzilla, and that's why they didn't vote for it. |

Yes, Markman38...it would be cool if they played those songs live and recorded them, then released it as a 2 record set. One side original Queen and one side Q + today’s band + AL, I would be interested in hearing that! I know the purists would disagree but I think having both would be an interesting compare/contrast exercise.I’m not really looking for the contrast in singers (which is obvious), but the current band musicians interpreting the songs, and the maturity of Roger and Brian applied to the arrangements. It won’t ever happen I’m sure, but it would stir some conversation! |

The DVD menu is a static image that follows the motif on the CD cover, with no music or animation. Teo Torriatte, The Show Must Go On, '39, March of the Black Queen, and Keep Yourself Alive videos are 4:3. The CD booklet has blurbs by a Japanese music critic, Japanese record executive, and some basic info about each song, as well as lyrics in Japanese and English. There is a picture of the Japanese garden at Freddie's house, as well as a first-hand account by one of the workers who built the garden. There is also a photo that was used on the original Greatest Hits cover, and another group shot that could have been taken anywhere in the world. There are no pictures of the group in Japan, which is odd. |
