The legendary
rock band Queen tops the list as the best-selling British
album of all time, the Official U.K. Charts Company said
Thursday. Queen's Greatest Hits album has sold
nearly 5.5 million copies in Britain since its release
in 1981.
The band, fronted
by the late Freddie Mercury, is famous for such
overblown hits as "Bohemian Rhapsody" and "We Will Rock
You."
The band makes it
onto the list a second time with Greatest Hits II at
number 7 with 3.6 million copies sold.
The Beatles' 1967
album Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Club Hearts band was
second with 4.8 million copies sold, followed by
Oasis's (What's The Story) Morning Glory? with
4.3 million. The list also included Abba's Gold, two
Michael Jackson albums, and Madonna's Immaculate
Collection. (The Advocate)
