years after Freddie Mercury, Brian May, Roger Taylor and John Deacon formed Queen and the band became the epitome of rock n roll swagger and excess Queen continues to rule globally. Hits II was a double album, whereas the initial Hits collection was a single disc, and to date it has sold over 19 million copies worldwide. The album consisted of Queen's biggest hits since their first chart appearance in 1974 with " Seven Seas of Rhye", up to their 1980 hit " Flash" (though in some countries " Under Pressure", the band's 1981 chart-topper with David Bowie, was included).Curiously, America didn't receive the album, though Hollywood Records were assembling its own collection, a variation of this album. There was no universal track listing or cover art for the album, and each territory's tracks were dependent on what singles had been released there and which were successful. The Show Must Go On was a perfect career summation for the band, though no one knew at the time it would be the last single released in Freddie's lifetime. Roger Taylor had not written any songs that had been released as singles for the band at that point. Freddie Mercury designed the crest on the album cover, using the astrological signs of the four members: two Leos ( Roger Taylor and John Deacon), one Cancer ( Brian May) and one Virgo (Mercury).

In the US, Greatest Hits sold moderately well on initial release in 1981, obtaining a platinum certification. The video for "Killer Queen" had been shot especially for Greatest Flix, as no video had been made for the song on its original release in 1974. Published on the occasion of the twenty years of English training career (and less than a month before the death of Freddie Mercury!
