I bought mine in Tesco's.
It was Number 11.
I think for a live album, a DOUBLE live album, from a band who have not produced new material for years, this is pretty impressive.
Just shows you - the music is still alive.
no. the music isn't still alive...it will go higher across europe. Because Brian and Roger's solo tours in Europe were still popular
but Queen as a unit are more or less commercially dead in Britain. Sure there's the existing fanbase but the marketing is shite...and it won't be long before they disappear down a similar hole in th Uk as they did in the USA
they are honestly - out of ideas...something that sounds like a hybrid of Smile and The Cross is not marketable in the new millennium...the Musical was the last golden egg to come from this overworked goose
...and thaat took the writing of an ex'alternative' comedian to make it into something marketable
perhaps that's the answer....get Dawn French to write the next album, Ade Edmondson to play all the instruments and Jack Dee to produce it....

trawl through the 90s and 2000s and then look at some of the artists that have had no 1 albums
they are ALL currently bigger in the UK and USA than Queen

Neilson Soundscan isn't a chart. It's a review of a chart.
I could be wrong, but I have always read that they are like Billboard, but are their own ratings system, Soundscan reports album, single sales in retail stores.

When we least expect Queen allways surprise the fans, even the ones with no faith at all!
If you look at diferent times in Queen history you'll see that allways hapens something that would take them to another level, and this time it's going to be the same.
Take care

Bobby - this ain't about 'lack of faith' you either like a band or you don't - i've been a queen fan for 31 years....(HS aside), you don't follow a band through faith...you follow them because you like their music....it's not a crusade....
and what's all this 'at different times in Queen History' thing? - you are deluding yourself.....their star ascended for a while, peaked, and burned out...that's what stars do...this star will have no second coming...it may shine a very distant twinkle occasionally...but it will never truly light up the heavens like it did....it has nothing more to burn

Yes.
Like a journalist or reporter, they report the ratings. All charts in the US are on billboard (even different ones such as Rock Chart, are owned by Billboard) link reports chart positions, but the chart positions come from billboard.
