Queen's Catalog Is Still Growing, With One Massive Album Leading The Way
This week in the U.K., three of Queen's albums manage to appear on at least one ranking apiece. Two of them hold steady on a single tally each, while one of the band's most successful collections is in the middle of a serious resurgence. That particular title shows up on five charts simultaneously, returning to one and gaining ground on all the others.
As is almost always the case, Greatest Hits is Queen's most successful effort on the charts. The title appears on five different U.K. rankings this frame, returning to one while growing in stature on the remaining four.
Greatest Hits climbs five spaces to No. 31 on the Official Albums Streaming chart, where it currently stands out as the band's top-performing title. It also bounces back into the top 40 on the all-important Official Albums chart, the list that ranks the most consumed full-lengths in the country. On that tally, the set vaults from No. 42 to No. 33.
The same release also re-enters the Official Album Downloads chart, settling at No. 58. That return is especially notable, as just a few weeks ago, it marked a full decade spent on the list.
The compilation also improves on both the Official Albums Sales and Official Physical Albums charts, climbing more than 20 spots on each. While it lands outside the top 40 on both of those tallies, the title's jumps to No. 61 and No. 73, respectively, show there's still real interest in not only playing the songs featured on its tracklist, but buying them as well.
While Greatest Hits is the biggest success, it's not the only Queen title making major moves this week. The band also sees The Platinum Collection rise substantially on the Official Album Downloads chart. The multi-disc compilation jumps from No. 83 to No. 22, which is quite the leap.
That surge ensures that Queen doubles up on the downloads-only list, as both The Platinum Collection and Greatest Hits appear on the tally at the same time.
One more Queen project earns a spot on the charts this week. The Bohemian Rhapsody soundtrack appears on the Official Soundtrack Albums list, which ranks the top-performing titles tied to film and television. The set lifts slightly, from No. 49 to No. 46 — a modest gain, but one that shows just how popular the band's catalog is, no matter in what form it's offered to consumers.

Taylor Swift's ‘Reputation' Outperforms Her Other Albums — Twice Over
Taylor Swift's Reputation has always been one of her most polarizing albums, but for many fans, it remains a personal favorite. As speculation fades about the possibility of a Reputation (Taylor's Version), listeners in the United Kingdom continue to embrace the original — and this frame, the set enjoys one of its biggest weeks in some time on the charts. Reputation Appears on Multiple Rankings This week, Reputation is one of six Swift albums on the U.K. charts. It's the only one of that bunch to claim space on four separate tallies — double the number of appearances that any of her other titles manage. The collection rises on the Official Albums (No. 75), Official Albums Streaming (No. 71), and the Official Physical Albums charts (No. 81). Reputation Returns to the Sales Ranking In addition to its growth on three tallies, Reputation also returns to the Official Albums Sales chart. On that roster, which looks at the top-selling titles across the nation, Swift's set is back at No. 91. The bestseller has now appeared on the list for 166 weeks, and it has previously reached No. 1. That's true of nearly every tally where it currently appears in the U.K., and now just the sales ranking…though it did stall in third place on the streaming chart. Three Taylor Swift Albums Return to Multiple Charts Reputation is one of four Taylor Swift albums that appear on more than one ranking in the U.K. this frame. Alongside Lover, Folklore, and The Tortured Poets Department, the set is present on both the Official Albums chart and the Official Albums Streaming ranking — and all four rise on both lists. Other Taylor Swift Sets Also Rise Swift's other U.K. chart wins include Midnights and 1989. Those two return to the Official Albums Streaming chart, with Midnights back at No. 92 and 1989 reentering at No. 99. Those two titles only live on the ranking of the most-streamed projects in the country, though they both enjoyed lengthy stays on several other rosters as well. Why Reputation (Taylor's Version) Isn't Likely Swift began re-recording her first six albums after her former label sold the masters, so that she could own — and profit from — her music. Recently, she acquired the rights to the original Reputation, which means she now benefits financially from streams and sales of that original edition. Without the same business incentive that fueled earlier re-recordings, a Reputation (Taylor's Version) doesn't seem likely.

P1Harmony Reveal Dream Collaborations & Difference Between Their Fans Around the World (Exclusive)
The group also reveals to TooFab what their group chat is called, their thoughts on Erewhon smoothies and Soul shares how his ghost hunting journey is going. P1Harmony have their sights set on a few A-List artists to collaborate with. While attending their third KCON in Los Angeles, the South Korean boy band -- which includes Keeho, Theo, Jiung, Intak, Soul, and Jongseob -- sat down with TooFab exclusively. The group, which boasts over 5.5 million followers on TikTok, revealed who their dream collaboration would be -- dead or alive. Theo kicked off with '90s rock band Queen, Jiung has his eyes on Boyz II Men, before Intak named Grammy-award winning artist Usher. Soul has his eyes set on Beyoncé and Keeho is aiming for a track from Pharrell Williams. "I would say Tate McRae," Jongseob added. "These days I'm really into the F1 soundtrack, the 'Just Keep Watching,' I'm really into that song." The K-pop superstars performed at KCON on Friday, August 1 on the M Countdown stage and on Sunday, August 3 on KCON's Artist Stage, where they were met with thousands of cheering fans. "A lot of our fans have been keeping in touch and keeping very close tabs on us for the past year, we've grown a lot as musicians and also on stage," Intak explained in Korean, as Keeho translated. It has been over a year since P1Harmony were last in Los Angeles and despite the group evolving, Jongseob relished in the fact that their fans never change. "We have changed over the last year but they [fans] never change, every time we have been to the States, they're very passionate and they're so about it when we perform on the stage. They're sending so much love to me and love to us, I am so thankful and the Most Wanted [tour] is coming so I hope they like it," Jongseob said. Intak noted that "American fans are so passionate in the way they scream," but what makes Korean fans stand out is the fact "they are very synchronized" with their fan "chants." "They find pockets in the song where they sing out the lyrics or do a little scream and it's all synchronized together," Keeho explained. "It's so crazy to see because they're all so on queue, it's almost like it's a choreo that they remember." K-pop has experienced exponential growth in the industry over recent years, proving the genre has a universal appeal, despite the language barrier for those who don't speak Korean. "I personally think, it's because it's the full package," Keeho said of the draw. "I think the fact that there's the performance, there's also the visual aspects; the outfits and the hair. There's also music aspects. There's just so much to look for and to see, it's almost over stimulating to be honest." He continued: "There's just so much going on but I think that's what makes K-pop so fun. When we create albums it's not just about the music, it's about the world we create with these albums and these EPs." Keeho said the group put a lot of emphasis on what they want to "portray visually" with each album and ask themselves questions like, "'How do we want to portray this conceptually and how can we tie this into our story as artists?'" The group have been soaking up the LA life, even trying the local cuisine ... from Erewhon. "We just had the Sabrina Carpenter smoothie and the Hailey Bieber smoothie ... It was a very healthy vibe, but I know they're really expensive," Keeho said. Watch the interview above to hear if the group would be interested in voicing future characters on Netflix's KPop Demon Hunters, how Soul's journey of finding ghosts with his new "ghost gadgets" has been going and why he named P1Harmony's group chat "Teletubbies." The group will be touring around the United States later this year for their "Most Wanted" tour. They will be hitting eight major U.S. arenas, including Prudential Center (NJ) and Inuit Dome (LA) following an already sold-out kickoff in Seoul. They will then hit up Latin America, Australia and Asia. The group has been celebrating their most recent single "DUH!" which has 17 Million views on YouTube and has remained on Billboard's World Albums chart for 4 weeks straight. Solve the daily Crossword

Eminem Reaches A Longevity Milestone For The Third Time
Eminem's catalog is so extensive that one greatest hits collection can't capture all of his most famous singles. Over the years, he's released two connected compilations, and both have proven to be massive sellers. Curtain Call – The Hits remains one of the most successful best-of sets in history, but this week, its follow-up reaches a milestone in the U.K. that shows just how much of a fixture the rapper remains in the nation. Curtain Call 2 on the Albums Chart Eminem's Curtain Call 2 hits 156 weeks on the Official Albums chart, which means it has spent exactly three years on the all-consumption list. That kind of longevity is rare for any act, and especially for a hip-hop release. The set even improves slightly, rising from No. 71 to No. 69 as it reaches the milestone frame. Eminem's Third Album to Hit Three Years As it makes it to three years on the list of the most consumed albums in the U.K., Curtain Call 2 becomes the third Eminem release to log at least 156 weeks on the roster. Curtain Call still leads his pack with a staggering 681 frames, while The Eminem Show has racked up 159 weeks. At its current pace, Curtain Call 2 may soon overtake that studio project, which helped make Eminem a certified superstar years ago. Eminem's Milestone on the Streaming Chart The compilation sequel also celebrates 156 weeks on the Official Albums Streaming chart this time around. The hits-packed project moves from No. 52 to No. 51, mirroring its gain on the main ranking. Curtain Call 2 never made it to No. 1 on either tally, but it did climb into the top 10 on both charts during its initial run. Curtain Call Outpaces the Sequel While the newer of the two collections continues to inch upward, Curtain Call – The Hits is still leading on both the all-consumption and streaming rankings. This frame, it lands at No. 30 on the main albums roster and 10 spots north, at No. 20, on the list of the most-streamed releases in the country. Curtain Call also returns to the Official Album Downloads chart at No. 100, barely returning to the list. Three Eminem Releases Charting at Once At the moment, Eminem claims three hits on the U.K.'s albums tallies. Alongside his two compilations, The Slim Shady LP lifts to No. 38 on the Official Hip-Hop and R&B Albums chart. The rapper's debut is approaching 400 weeks on the genre-specific ranking, a milestone it will likely reach in the coming month or so.
