It is comparison that hurts - he obviously doesn't have Freddie's tone, presence, etc. But - he is a better fit than Paul Rodgers. And - unfortunately - Brian and Roger don't have the edge of what they used too.

If you're going to measure song writing success by the number of hits or chart positions Queen lag behind so many artists year on year. Cut that further if you look at the number of hits Freddie wrote.

I think that would depend on the country. In the UK, they would fare pretty well against other artists, especially in these all-time charts (best selling album, the biggest amount of top 40 hits, longest presence on album charts).

Misfire. wrote: Vocal Harmony : I am merely pointing out that without Brian /Roger your favourite sugar honey Adam is a flop. His solo records are garbage and he is a garbage cheap artist who pretends he is a star. Queen keep him standing on his feet and without them he would be on the floor in a heap. Anyone one us could do what he does on stage, sparkly outfits to make believe he is it and a legend band behind him and he thinks he can sing better than Freddie what a complete knob he is.

Absolutely. I was thinking about singles sales. There have been many other artists who charted higher and more regularly then Queen. Bo Rhap being an exception during Freddie's life. Their album sales are huge, but mainly because of GH1. The other albums don't come close. Take away the Greatest Hits album and their sales fall short of a lot of comparable major acts and they never released a studio album that matched Dark Side Of The Moon or Rumours or a number of other big selling studio offerings ( not compilations ) from other artists.

I don't recall Lambert ever saying he was a better singer than Freddie. Back to "anyone can do what he does on stage" why aren't you up there then?

Queen has outsold others such as Fleetwood Mac and Pink Floyd. Pink Floyd also had a few successful albums, but Fleetwood Mac basically had their one big break. Queen is one of the most consistent artists when it comes to sales. They didn't just have one big successful album, they had a few quite successful albums, consistently. That is why Queen is the 4th best selling artist of all time, Pink Floyd is 7th and Fleetwood Mac is 25th. https://chartmasters.org/2017/10/best-selling-artists-albums-and-singles-of-all-time/18/ Queen's catalog was slightly mismanaged through the years. If they had not released their Greatest hits albums compilation that early in their career, then their studio albums would have sold more? . .

It's usually perceived as a cynical ploy to gain preferential treatment. an example of this would be someone saying: "there he goes again, playing the mental health card..." it's NOT an actual card that anyone carries...it's not a BLUE BADGE...ffs! It's impossible for someone insulting someone else's mental health to be "playing the mental health card".
