Greatest Hits
Is a compilation album by the British rock band Queen, released in the UK on 26
October 1981. The album consisted of Queen's best-selling singles since their
first chart appearance in 1974 with "Seven Seas of Rhye", up to their 1980 hit
"Flash" (though in some countries "Under Pressure", the band's 1981 chart-topper
with David Bowie, was included). There was no universal track listing or cover art for
the album, and each territory's tracks were dependent on what singles had been
released there and which were successful.
Queen's Greatest Hits was an instant success, peaking at number one on the UK
Album Chart for four weeks. It has spent over 700 weeks in the UK Charts, and is
the best-selling album of all time in the UK, selling over 6 million copies
there. It is certified 8x Platinum in the United States, and is Queen's most
commercially successful album worldwide with over 25 million copies sold, making it
one of the best-selling albums of all time. Radiohead guitarist Ed
O'Brien hailed Greatest Hits as "impeccable" and "absolutely genius", while
British journalist Brian Viner called it the single greatest album ever made.
