So you rather had them chart prematurely in #40 and have them ship the stuff early? Because they shipped them the first moment they could to let them count for the charts. I'm not sure where the idea came from that orders from Queenonline don't count for the UK charts, but I can guarantee you they did. If they wouldn't they could have shipped them early yes. As they obviously shipped them on the first day to count for the charts I'm betting all those orders from all the fans all over the world helped them to get to #1. That was their strategy all along and probably also the reason why international shops were a bit later with the stuff being available. If international orders didn't count they probably would have closed up the shop for international orders as things were sold out in the first week at some moments. That's partly because of the pre-orders and if they didn't happen they had more available in the first week for UK fans. Shipping costs time. Especially in the current environment with the pandemic going on. You probably should consider that before you order something from the UK. Plus the standard shipping was pretty cheap for the pre-orders (at least for me) and they send it the cheapest way possible because of that. If you wanted it more quickly you could have selected the more expensive delivery service probably. My order came quicker than the mentioned in the email actually. But my country is just next to the UK. I got my emails on Friday and on Tuesday my first shipment came. The other one came on Saturday after. In the email it said 7-10 work days for Europe and I had it in 3 and 5. For the US they said 10-14 work days. If you got it yesterday that is 10 work days. So still pretty quick considering everything going on in the world. Why do you think the sales count for the UK charts? I mean, I‘m not sure, but The QueenOnline Shop didn’t let buyers from outside of the UK buy their signed CD/cassette bundles (which account for 2000 sales on the whole). Also, they didn’t link to the Queen Shop after the first day of presales any longer. They also opened the prize of the online Meet&Greet with Adam for UK fans only. Those were UK only yes. I don't know why exactly. Could have been because shipping to the US is extremely expensive and they wanted to do this for the UK fans only because of that. The link to their store has been in the smart link since the beginning and it's still there as the first option (for me at least): qal.lnk.to/LiveAroundTheWorldAlso in the streaming link (this is mostly UK though): queen.lnk.to/LiveAroundTheWorldSoIt just would sound weird to me if the orders don't count for both the US and the UK. There is a sale so it should count somewhere. The UK is the most likely as it is a UK based store. The You Are The Champions singles were sold internationally and were send all almost on the same date. They charted based on that. They were not bought only by UK fans.

You’re right with the You are the Champions singles. So you might be right. The smart link changes for me. There had been times, when the QueenStore didn’t appear as an option.

I'm confused ... on Amazon it says CD/BluRay but then it says the format is Audio CD ... so does this include a BluRay disk with video or not? I already have the audio from iTunes, don't want to purchase on Amazon if it is only another Audio CD. It is confusing. I waited until scorpiobert got hers and she said it was both bluRay and CD before I ordered 2 sets of BluRay + CDs and it is a fantastic deal to get both the BluRay and the CD for $13.99 with no shipping with Prime. I then ordered 2 more for gifts. It does say "audio CD" and also says (CD/BluRay) so it is very confusing. www.amazon.com/gp/product/B08FP54RW5/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

I guess I'm glad that my DH messed up and got my UK order cancelled. I'm sure it would have arrived eventually, but I went ahead and ordered from Target it took three days to come. I still don't have a regular CD but I have two Blue Ray DVDs, one for me and one my sis. Will watch tonight. I'll get a CD at some point. Not worried. It's great that Queen got the #1 spot in the UK no matter what. They deserved it.
Interesting that when Adam's name is mentioned on The Masked Singer, he generates some buzz and action on his Wiki. Contestants seem to keep guessing that it's him. LOL He says he's going to be doing some reality TV at some point. Quite honestly, I can't see him doing Masked Singer. Wonder what it will be?
