Not a single doubt that this album will NOT reach anywhere beyond the vast Queen and Paul-fanbase.
WE may like the album for what it is, but it is definately not good, interesting and surprising enough to stand out when put into perspective with other artists works.
Depends on marketing, airplay, publicity from the tour and so on. That said recordsales arent what they used to be. But on the other hand you should definitely not underestimate the value of the Queen-brand. Its gonna do a lot better than the solo albums, but how much is móre uncertain.
I think the cosmos rocks will get platinum status at least that is what it deserves and i just love the negativity on this site it really makes me smile NOT.
The best selling l.p.s in the world at this point in the year 2008 only sell three million copies. Even the best selling recording artists in the world are hesitant to put anything out because nothing sells like it use to. Much of the music is just stolen off of the internet assuming you can get anyone in the public to care anyway. That's because of the horrible music that has been marketed in the pop world for the last decade and the collapse of the industry as people now just steal their music off of the internet.

I don't like it. I will not buy it. I'm entitled to post my negative comments about the album on this public forum wich I have visited since the end of the 90's. If you don't like it. Fine. Whatever...
I remember when Made in Heaven came out in 1995, a lot of people I know, for some reason got that album. Either bought it or got it as a present.
And still... that's the only Queen album they own.
Maybe a lot of old rockers will give it (Cosmos album) in present or something...?
At least I'm going to buy it - That's 1 copy sold!

i think it will do reasonably well, there is still alot of Queen fans and Paul Rodgers fans out there from years gone by and I think by combining the two sets of fanbase they just might make a reasonable entry in the charts. i for have got it on order and can't wait to hear it. Ok, so it's not the original line up of queen but thats the way it is.
Happy days!!
album will sell well, i would say it will be top 20 in the uk (and most of europe), probably top 50 in usa. it will certainly be platinum (maybe more than once) in italy, holland, portugal, brazil, argentina, japan, probably uk... estimated world sales after 1 year-2 million copies
