As this thread has referred to the demise of the album,on many occasions, in terms of relevance and income, I read today that the soundtrack album of the new Quenn film has sold nearly 6 million units worldwide.
So ....the death of albums is, er,...exaggerated.

Queen's catalog sales since October are close to 6 million copies worldwide, but that's including streaming points (1500 streams = 1 sale).
The soundtrack has sold 2.2 million, about 50% of that is streaming points.
Pure sales must be under 2 million at most, and that's including their whole catalog.

There's nothing new to report and there won't be nothing new to report in months, they are still working on the album and they'll keep working on it until its done, you can ask the same question tomorrow or in 4 months and the answer will be the same.

"I don't think there should be any time limit on that" - Keith
No of course not, but.................
It's been nearly 15 years since ABB - most bands form, peak, and breakup in that time spam - sometimes much less!
Led Zeppelin for example. Or look at the Beatles and all they contributed to the world of music in their short lifespan.
And consider the Stones output in their first 15 years...from the beginning all the way up to Some Girls!
But yeah, no rush and no time limit...take your sweet time, most of us will still be around to appreciate it.
Would the year 2021 be asking too much? Maybe 2022?

I think Keith may of been referring to the life of the band in general whenhe mentioned that there shouldn't be a time limit on that.
Still .. I am with you. Early stages ... F**G really? Are we talking about the early stages again .. after like 4 years? Really guys?? In a sense it's becoming a joke ..and on the other hand it's irritating / frustrating.

Now that I see/read it again - weren't the early stages already discussed a few YEARS back? Was that the same interview or a different one?
