Nice updates Martin.
Somebody to Love is actually over 1B too. There's a 46.3M version on Georg Michael's Ladies and Gentlemen collection taken from the Freddie Mercury tribute concert. Same recording as on Queen's platinum collection (and GH3), but tracked separately. Originally released on the Five Live EP in 1993.

It's not as if their tracks needed any extra help, from others but there you go, even more amazing, 8 tracks over 1B!

Am I right in thinking AC/DC, although currently with none above 2B, will be the next legacy act to have 2 2B+ tracks and possiblly the next with 3 and 4 2B+ tracks.

I haven't updated the list in a long time, but I'm almost certain you're right.
AC/DC have 3 songs above 1.67B and 4 songs above 1.33B.

8 tracks over 1B is astonishing, and that figure is gonna be 10 tracks soon enough (incl. Killer Queen & WATC).
Furthermore, those 10 giant tracks are from 8 different albums!!! Not relying on a Rumours/Appetite type of release, but delivering mega hits year after year.

Hello,

I'd like to ask what approximate percentage of Queen's sales (285M EAS at the moment) did Queen generate before Freddie Mercury's passing (Nov 24th, 1991) and what percentage since then?

Thank you and best greetings.
