Queen charts again in the U.K. with Queen I reentering at No. 10 on the Official Physical Albums … More
Most artists and bands that got their start decades ago manage to continue appearing on the charts with one compilation, or perhaps a fan-favorite single that the public has never grown tired of. It’s rare for acts that have been active for years — if not many decades — to score multiple placements on various rankings, but Queen is one of the few that manages to do so with some regularity.
This week in the United Kingdom, where the group got its start, Queen claims a pair of charting albums. One of those reappears inside the loftiest tier on a roster, as it’s a bestseller again.
Queen I Becomes a Top 10 Bestseller Again
Queen, the group’s self-titled debut album – which is referred to as Queen I on the weekly U.K. rankings – makes an appearance on just one list in the band’s home country. Queen I reenters the Official Physical Albums Chart at No. 10. That’s an impressive relaunching point for a collection that wasn’t present on the tally just a few days ago.
Queen’s Greatest Hits Remains a Top Performer
As is always the case, Greatest Hits by Queen can be found on multiple rankings. The compilation typically performs best on platforms like Spotify, Apple Music, and others, as it’s the collection that millions of fans flock to in order to hear the band’s most familiar tunes. This week, Greatest Hits also finds its way back to the Official Album Downloads chart, becoming a top seller once again. At the moment, it’s positioned at No. 48 on that roster, just over a decade into its run as one of the most downloaded titles in the U.K.
Greatest Hits Lives Inside the Top 40
Greatest Hits is also a top 40 success on two other U.K. tallies. The compilation dips slightly to No. 36 on the Official Albums Streaming chart, while holding steady at No. 39 on the Official Albums list — the ranking of the most consumed full-lengths throughout the country.
The singles-packed project is nearing 500 weeks on the streaming tally and later this year, it will almost surely reach that milestone. At some point in 2026, the compilation will likely hit 1,200 frames on the main albums list.
Queen Logs Multiple Huge Hits
Queen also fills a trio of spots on the Official Rock & Metal Singles chart this week, claiming more successful tunes than albums. The band is holding on with smashes like “Don’t Stop Me Now,” “Bohemian Rhapsody,” and “Another One Bites the Dust.”
