This album was available at least across all of Western Europe not just the UK. I bought it as a single CD in Germany at the time.

Should we merge classic queen with this?

The True UK Sales of Queen's Greatest Hits II Album[edit]

Although the UK Charts Company gives 'Greatest Hits II' over 3,900,000 UK Sales, they know that it has not actually sold that many as a stand-alone Album. In 2006 the UK Charts Company got some 'Chart Experts' to calculate the UK's Top 100 Best Selling Albums. The 'Experts' decided to add the UK Sales from 2 other Queen Compilations to Queen's 1st & 2nd 'Greatest Hits' Albums. They each got 66,000 Sales from a 1994 Double Queen CD & 560,000 each from a 2000 Triple Queen CD, 'The Platinum Collection'. That gave the 1st 2 Queen Hits Albums a massive 626,000 'bonus' Sales each. If we remove the 'bonus' Sales, from the 'Greatest Hits II' Album, we get 3,274,000 UK Sales for it. The Official Charts Company do not go into this, when they say that it has sold over 3,900,000 UK copies, as they know that the UK Media prefers uncomplicated matters & so they simply give the impression that it has sold 626,000 more than it really has - which makes it the UK's 10th Best Selling Album. The 'bonus' Sales were admitted to & revealed by UK 'Chart Expert' Alan Jones, in the 19th September 2009 issue of 'Music Week'. With the reduced total of 3,274,000 'Greatest Hits II' is no longer the UK's 10th Best Selling Album. It falls to 18th place instead. So, the 'bonus' 626,000 Sales give it a Top 10 place that it should not really have. 86.2.61.136 (talk) 16:33, 4 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]
