The band Queen became the first group to sell seven million copies of a single album, achieving a historic milestone in the UK charts.

The “Greatest Songs” album recently spent its 1,000th week on Britain’s charts, and one in four families in the country owns a copy of Queen’s Greatest Songs, released in 1981, according to the official company responsible for track lists. Music sales in Great Britain.
Queen’s album topped the charts with almost a million copies in total, surpassing “Gold”, which includes the best songs of ABBA, released in 1992.
