Here's a quote from a news article that might help you:

Greatest Hits" has also sold 1 million copies in the USA and Canada, peaking at No. 3 on the U.S. Billboard charts, and at No. 2 in Canada, and is gold in both territories.

Although this report is about 2 weeks old.

Each week I get more and more amazed at the selling power of Guns N' Roses.

In the UK, albums don't last long at the top of the pile, they drop fairly quickly. Artists like D12 and Anastacia would be expected to be outselling GH easily.

Does anyone else think that the GH has had more success than you ever could have thought? I still can't believe the UK album charts. I don't know how far it's exceeded your expectation in other countries but in the UK it's unbelievable.

How long do you think its going to be before they bring out a greatest hits 2 disc?  With the sales that GH has had you know they are going to do it.  I can't believe GH has done so well because GNR have had only 3 real albums it would be almost cheaper to go and buy the 3 original albums then to buy GH lol.

GNR for fucking ever.

Unless they wanna cheat the fans a GH Disc 2 is pointless the title implies it is GN'R Hits, now i know the tracklisting was not great but how many singles/hits were left out?

[jarmo]

Is it still being advertised on tv in the UK?

I know they still run the commercial in Sweden, seen it a few times during the icehockey world championships.

I used to see the ad every couple of days but I haven't seen it for a couple of weeks now.

I'm pretty sure it's not shown anymore, at least not on terestrial channels.

I also live in the second biggest city in the UK and haven't once seen a billboard for it.
