Why do we even care? Why do we judge music by how many buyers there are? Most of the music I listen to nowadays doesn't chart! Does that make it inferior music? No, it just means it doesn't appeal to quite as many as some other music... |

That's why it has been released as a single! So many hits for a free download I suppose. |

When people like Akon, Britney Spears and Justin Timberlake hit a certain chart, I don't this this chart counts at all as an efficient way to estimate a song's quality. |

Anybody expecting it to top the charts a month after it was given away was retarded - or grinding an axe. |

Another reason why it wont sell much is that this generation is brainwashed into listening to talentless crap. They are used to garbage songs from britney spears etc so this wont appeal to most. |

I think also, another factor is that this, is just the single and there is no album to back it up at this time. Plus the fact that the single isn't released in the US. I think that once the new album comes out that it will chart higher. It won't be #1, but like you guys said, unless it's rap or something like that, it won't be. I would imagine that it will do about as well as The Who's Endless Wire album, which I think got up to #8 or so... which isn't bad at all for an act that has has a few personel changes. :) |

Like Queen are going to be dumped by EMI. The DVD's Queen released have all sold really well, the Platinum Collection still does well around the world etc. Queen made/make a lot of money for EMI/Parlophone - they won't get dumped if they're not in the charts with their new music. EMI will just release another quick cash-in: Queen #1's or something similar compiling the best of the 3 GH albums. |

Gimme a break and please don't play the "I don't give a damn about charts" card.... If SINT would've been a sold out single, we'd have a hundred threads praising its high chart position. |

March Of The Black Queen and The Prophet's Song are. But it was it's incredible chart success that made a certain pretty new band with some success in the UK get their "worldwide legend" status. |

Actually I can't agree with you more. It's simply that for a fact, everyone bashes the things that are against their tastes, yet they happily praise it if they are fully in agreement. In the end, isn't it a little what we all do in a forum like this? That's the human nature I think ;-) |

Material by Queen WITH Freddie still sells. If anything it says the record buying public aren't interested in this cynical exercise. Part of Queen's undeniable legacy was their phenomenal success. Now that is beyond them without their most celebrated member it's churlish to try and suggest the charts today are filled with crap. They have always been filled with crap. Queen rose above that through sheer power of their songs. The magic is over. |

How many years was it since, for example, Elvis Costello charted? That doesn't mean his record company will ditch him, because they can recognize artistic achievements in other ways. |

This is Queen+Paul Rodgers, indeed, or QPR in short. Fact is they are recording an album under the Queen+Paul Rodgers label. I'd rather make the best of it. I don't think it will be comparable with Queen's work in the 70's but it doesn't have to - it's something new. The old Queen albums are going nowhere. I am genuinely excited about this new material and I have great appreciation for Paul Rodgers. At first, only for getting Brian and Roger on the road. Now, as a musician and artist as well. I hope they tour Mexico or (at least) southwest USA. I would love to see them a sixth time. |
