Re: Queen Tickets
All-Time Best-Selling Singles
Though somewhat contentious at the lower extremes, we assert the UK all-time top 20 to look like this:
"Candle In The Wind '97" - Elton John. (4.865 million)
The lyrics to Elton's 1974 classic were re-written in memory of Diana, Princess of Wales. The song was only ever performed once publicly; at Diana's funeral. It has sold 37 million around the world.
"Do They Know It's Christmas?" - Band Aid. (3.575m)
The first ever multi-artist charity single (*), this track was recorded in Christmas 1984 by a host of celebrity vocalists to raise money for the famine in Ethiopia.
"Bohemian Rhapsody" - Queen. (2.176m)
Arguably the first track to benefit from having a video, this epic spent 9 weeks at number 1 across Christmas 1975 (1.19m). It returned to the top for a further 5 weeks at number 1 at Christmas 1991, a few weeks after the death of lead singer, Freddie Mercury (0.94m).
"Mull Of Kintyre" - Wings (2.05m)
"Rivers Of Babylon" / "Brown Girl In The Ring" - Boney M (1.985m)
"You're The One That I Want" - John Travolta & Olivia Newton-John (1.975m)
"Relax" - Frankie Goes To Hollywood (1.91m)
"She Loves You" - The Beatles (1.89m)
"Unchained Melody" - Robson & Jerome (1.84m)
"Mary's Boychild - Oh My Lord" - Boney M (1.80m)
"Evergreen" / "Anything Is Possible" - Will Young (1.787m)
"Love Is All Around" - Wet Wet Wet (1.785m)
"I Just Called To Say I Love You" - Stevie Wonder (1.775m)
"I Want To Hold Your Hand" - The Beatles (1.75m)
"Barbie Girl" - Aqua (1.723m)
"Believe" - Cher (1.673m)
"Perfect Day" - Various Artists (1.55m)
"(Everything I Do) I Do It For You" - Bryan Adams (1.545m)
"Tears" - Ken Dodd (1.521m)
"Can't Buy Me Love" - The Beatles (1.520m)

Re: Queen Tickets
The question is............ how do they calculate chart positions??
How can Brian Adams spend 17 weeks at No 1 with that tedious dirge if he 'only' sold 1.5 million copies......
......... while a few much bigger selling records hardly registered at No 1 at all???
