Greatest Hits is Queen\u2019s first title to celebrate 10 years on the Official Albums Streaming chart. No other effort from the band has held on for a triple-digit week-long stay, although several additional sets have made it to at least one year.<\/p>\n
The Platinum Collection ranks as Queen\u2019s second-longest-running project, as it\u2019s up to 84 turns on the tally. Hungarian Rhapsody: Live in Budapest and the Bohemian Rhapsody soundtrack are tied for third place, as the two managed to find space on the ranking for 57 stints.<\/p>\n
Queen\u2019s Greatest Hits Has Charted Almost Constantly Since 2015<\/p>\n
Greatest Hits became Queen\u2019s first placement on the Official Albums Streaming chart in March 2015. In the 11 years since the compilation debuted, it has been found on the roster more often than not, and typically in impressive positions. Greatest Hits has spent more time on the Official Albums Streaming ranking than Queen\u2019s eight other releases that have landed on the tally combined \u2013 times three.<\/p>\n

It is fairly uncommon for any album to spend a decade as a top performer, whether it be on sales rosters, ones that focus on streaming, or even the closely watched, competitive, consumption-built Official Albums chart. On the Official Albums Streaming tally, Queen is one of a number of musical acts that got their start decades ago that have seen at least one project keep on the list for a decade or longer.<\/p>\n
Two albums \u2014 Michael Jackson\u2019s The Essential and Time Flies\u2026 1994\u20132009 by homegrown favorites Oasis \u2014 have long passed that figure and are still present inside the top 10. Names like ABBA, Eminem, Fleetwood Mac, Arctic Monkeys, and Maroon 5 all sit ahead of Greatest Hits by Queen, and they\u2019ve managed decade-long runs as well.<\/p>\n
Queen\u2019s Greatest Hits Has Lived on Other Charts Even Longer<\/p>\n
10 years on one chart is impressive, but astoundingly, 520 weeks counts as one of the shortest streaks attached to Greatest Hits. The set has only lived for a shorter time on the Official Albums Sales tally, where it\u2019s up to 468 appearances. The compilation will soon make it to 1,200 frames on the Official Albums roster, and it has managed an even longer hold on both the Official Physical Albums and Official Album Downloads rankings, where it is now up to 671 and 575 turns, respectively.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"More than a decade ago, the Official Charts Company, the United Kingdom\u2019s equivalent to America\u2019s Billboard, introduced the…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":167770,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[37],"tags":[664,671,9580,68835,672,9,24,63,68836,68834,68832,122,124,123,68833,673],"class_list":["post-167769","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-queens","tag-brian-may","tag-freddie-mercury","tag-getty-images","tag-greatest-hits","tag-john-deacon","tag-new-york","tag-new-york-city","tag-nyc","tag-official-albums","tag-official-charts-company","tag-queens-greatest-hits","tag-queens","tag-queens-headlines","tag-queens-news","tag-rock-group-queen","tag-roger-taylor"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/167769","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=167769"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/167769\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/167770"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=167769"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=167769"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=167769"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
