Greatest Hits II

Product Information

However, the band had just changed record labels in the US, from Capitol to Hollywood Records, who were keen on a massive promotion of the band's back catalogue. This grouping collects all versions and editions of the "Greatest Hits II" compilation, originally released on 28. Greatest Hits peaked at number eight on the Billboard 200 in November 2020, the second-slowest ascent to the top ten of the US album chart in history.

Freddie Mercury designed the crest on the album cover, using the astrological signs of the four members: two Leos ( Roger Taylor and John Deacon), one Cancer ( Brian May) and one Virgo (Mercury). It reached a new peak of number 11 on the Billboard 200 chart on its reissue in 1992, [22] and finally made the top ten of the Billboard 200 in November 2020 when it peaked at number eight, as a result of a Walmart sale on various vinyl albums on 14 November 2020.To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average.

Las Palabras de Amor", "Thank God It's Christmas", " These Are the Days of Our Lives" and "Princes of the Universe" were later included on Greatest Hits III. Argentina, Brazil, Mexico and Venezuela had "Love of My Life" (live version) instead of "Seven Seas of Rhye". The album contains two number one singles, six top fives, nine top tens, and fourteen top 20 singles. The US ended up with its original edit of Queen's first single release, " Keep Yourself Alive", originally released in 1973 and re-released in the US in 1975, following the success of " Bohemian Rhapsody". In the US, Greatest Hits sold moderately well on initial release in 1981, obtaining a platinum certification.As of 2016, 'Greatest Hits II' is the tenth best selling album of all time in the UK, with sales of over 3.

Following the release of the Queen biopic Bohemian Rhapsody in 2018, it re-entered the charts worldwide. I don’t mind some surface noise from an old weathered vinyl, but a new one is a little annoying even after cleaning multiple times.
