QUEEN: 'Greatest Hits' Passes Eight-Million Mark In The U.S.
- June 23, 2006
QUEEN's classic "Greatest Hits" collection was certified octuple-platinum on May 23, 2006 by the RIAA (Recording Industry Association of America) for shipments in excess of eight million copies.
First released in 1981 on QUEEN's original U.S. label, Elektra, "Greatest Hits"' track listing differed from the European release, which contained double the amount of tracks. When Hollywood Records purchased the entire QUEEN back catalogue in the early '90s, "Greatest Hits" was finally issued on CD after being out of print for many years, and included the extra tracks only previously available on the European version.
