Worldwide Album Chart Positions and Weeks On Chart
This page shows the highest chart positions and weeks on chart for albums released across all territories. The data originally came from Casper's Queen Site, which used to be hosted at www.caal.net. The site is still active but the Queen content has been removed.
I downloaded the data sometime between 2003 and 2004 and as such some data may now be out of date. I have checked the UK, USA and Japanese statistics against other sources and for the (very) small number of cases where there were errors I have corrected these. Any albums not included below were either omitted from the original list, have been released since it's compilation, or failed to chart. The details below generally include the combined statistics for both the original release and reissues.
Queen
Roger Taylor
Brian May
