GUNS N' ROSES: 'Greatest Hits' One Of Sweden's Top-Selling Albums Of 2004
January 12, 2005According to a posting at Here Today… Gone To Hell!, GUNS N' ROSES' "Greatest Hits" was the 17th best-selling album in Sweden in 2004. The only other foreign acts who made the Top 20 are U2 (#3),NORAH JONES (#5),ANASTACIA (#14),ROD STEWART (#18) and RONAN KEATING (#20).
"Greatest Hits"' inclusion on the list of the top-selling albums of the year is especially remarkable if you consider that the album is a collection of previously released songs from a band whose last studio CD, "The Spaghetti Incident?", came out more than a decade ago.
GUNS N' ROSES singer Axl Rose and fellow original members Slash and Duff McKagan tried to block the album's release by arguing in a lawsuit that Geffen Records was putting out the CD without their input. Geffen officials countered that they wouldn't have released the album if Rose had delivered the long-promised album "Chinese Democracy", which has been in the works for eight years.
