While Roger wrote: “Rumour has it Greatest Hits is currently #1 in the UK midweek charts too. “That’s pretty cool! Thanks to all who are keeping us there! Can we hold it ‘til Friday?”

The Queen drummer also posted a Spotify ad for Queen’s Greatest Hits that’s been digitally displayed in New York’s Time Square.

According to the Official Charts, the album leads by over 4000 sales in the midweek charts.

It turns out the 86 per cent of this is in physical formats, including a collector’s edition of the CD with an exclusive slipcase cover and the limited edition cassette versions available in five different colours.
