Gold. May sound great but with those sales figures that status doesn't mean
anything. Don't forget that Russia has app. 143 million inhabitants.
10.000 copies sold is really nothing....

For Russia its great result. Russian people dont like buy music. They prefer MP3 or free download from Internet. By the experience I know, almost anybody from my friends doesnt buy music in shops. These are features of mentality - as all love a word "freebie"

This is a stupid stereotype, people drink here no more than anywhere else. And the Irish have a slogan Guinness Is Good For You and always drink it. Besides Queen fans are intelligent people, didn't you know it???

Absolutely agree with you! I am amazed that the word is about legal sales!!! Nobody buys legal CDs, why spend money? So it's fantastic!
