Believe it or not, Queen has sold more albums than The Beatles from 1955-2005 in the UK. Queen’s Greatest Hits (5,407,587) has sold about 500,000 more copies than The Beatles’ Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band (4,811,996). They also sold almost 2 million more than Pink Floyd’s Dark Side of the Moon (3,781,993).
