"Greatest Hits" is a compilation album by the British rock band Queen, released worldwide on 26 October 1981. The album consisted of Queen's biggest hits since their first chart appearance in 1974 with "Seven Seas of Rhye", up to their 1980 hit "Flash" (though in some countries "Under Pressure", the band's 1981 chart-topper with David Bowie, was included). There was no universal track listing or cover art for the album, and each territories tracks were dependent on what singles had been released there and which were successful. "Greatest Hits" was a commercial success worldwide with sales of over 25 million copies, making it one of the best-selling albums of all time. It reached #1 on the UK Albums Chart, spending four weeks at the top and sold consistently well throughout the 1980's, becoming the fourth biggest selling album of the decade. The single "Under Pressure", which was released the same week as "Greatest Hits", also topped the UK Singles Chart. As of October 2019, "Greatest Hits" has spent 868 weeks on the UK Albums Chart and has been certified 20x Platinum with sales of over 6 million copies, making it the best-selling album of all time in the UK. Among the longest charting albums in the US, as of April 2020, it has spent 380 weeks on the Billboard 200. It has been certified 8x Platinum in the US, 15x Platinum in Australia, 10x Platinum in New Zealand and 3x Platinum in Canada. Following the release of the Queen biopic "Bohemian Rhapsody" in 2018, it re-entered the charts of several countries worldwide. This is the 1981 ORIGINAL US Vinyl Pressing on the Elektra label.
