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 pelled the fun-loving hard rock outfit to superstardom decades ago are still generating sales and a huge number of s 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
Impressively, it reenters three of them and soars on the fourth, where it managed to carve out a 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, back in at No
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

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 ing list — a fairly low position for a compilation that somehow performs well enough to on the charts for years
