Guns N’ Roses Brings Its Blockbuster Back To Multiple Charts

Guns N’ Roses claims one of the most lucrative catalogs in rock music history. For a period of time in the 1990s, the group dominated the charts and sold more albums than most musicians can dream of. The tunes that propelled the fun-loving hard rock outfit to superstardom decades ago are still generating sales and a huge number of streams each week in several nations.

The band’s Greatest Hits compilation remains one of the most successful and longest-charting collections of all time. The Guns N’ Roses collection can almost always be found on one list or another in Western countries, and this week marks a very exciting frame for the release in the United Kingdom.

Guns N’ Roses Returns to Multiple Charts

Greatest Hits appears on four albums charts in the U.K. at the moment. Impressively, it reenters three of them and soars on the fourth, where it managed to carve out a home just last week.

The effort earns its loftiest reentry point on the Official Rock & Metal Albums chart, where it becomes a top 40 bestseller again, breaking back in at No. 38. The same compilation can be found on the main list of the most consumed albums, EPs and compilations in the nation, where it settles at No. 77. The title comes in just 10 spaces beneath that spot on the Official Album Downloads tally, at No. 87.

Greatest Hits Becomes a Bestseller Again

While Greatest Hits is selling well again, it has also been racking up streams consistently. The compilation has no need to return to the Official Albums Streaming chart, as it was already present on that tally days ago. This time around, it rockets more than 20 spaces north to No. 72.

1,000 Weeks on the Rock Albums Chart

Guns N’ Roses has kept its Greatest Hits set on each of the four tallies on which it appears for hundreds of weeks, but its lifespan on the Official Rock & Metal Albums ranking is the most impressive. Not long ago, the title passed 1,000 weeks — more time than on all three of the other rankings combined.

“Welcome to the Jungle,” “Sweet Child O’ Mine” and “Paradise City”

The singles-packed compilation, which features tunes like “Welcome to the Jungle,” “Sweet Child O’ Mine,” “Paradise City,” and “Patience,” among others, has spent time at No. 1 on both the Official Albums chart and the Official Rock & Metal Albums ranking. It’s performance on the other rosters isn’t quite as impressive, as it hasn’t yet managed to enter the top 10 on the other two tallies where it is currently found.

The Greatest Hits effort peaked at No. 13 on the Official Album Downloads chart and only No. 33 on the Official Albums Streaming list — a fairly low position for a compilation that somehow performs well enough to live on the charts for years.
