I guess I'm glad that my DH messed up and got my UK order cancelled. I'm sure it would have arrived eventually, but I went ahead and ordered from Target it took three days to come. I still don't have a regular CD but I have two Blue Ray DVDs, one for me and one my sis. Will watch tonight. I'll get a CD at some point. Not worried. It's great that Queen got the #1 spot in the UK no matter what. They deserved it. But when you got a BluRay, you must have a CD as well? They are only sold as a bundle. Yikes. I am laughing at myself right now. I had not opened the disc package until we decided to watch it a few hours ago. And of course, you're right. The case has both the DVD and the CD. I kept assuming that it was just the DVD for some reason. Duh. Anyway, we watched it and it was FABULOUS! I have been to a concert for each tour and it felt like I was right there in the audience. I loved their selections of performances. I wish they could have included Killer Queen and I Want It All, but hey, I am very happy.

It's great that Queen got the #1 spot in the UK no matter what. They deserved it. Interesting that when Adam's name is mentioned on The Masked Singer, he generates some buzz and action on his Wiki. Contestants seem to keep guessing that it's him. LOL He says he's going to be doing some reality TV at some point. Quite honestly, I can't see him doing Masked Singer. Wonder what it will be? HA! I tried to order from UK Amazon to help with the UK numbers but it would not take my credit card for some reason. But I think my MusicVaultz order was from the UK so that would have counted. But my Amazon and Target orders were for the US. I wish they could have done some promotion to help with the US but I'm thrilled they got the UK#1 as that was the most important for them. Seems Queen albums have never done that well in the US (especially not their live albums) and that may have been a promotion thing too. But what matters is that they did well all around so they can be proud.

IMO the lack of active promo in the US was intentional, for whatever reason. I think if Queen wanted to get some attention they could do so with probably not much effort. This is not Adam trying to get promo, this is QUEEN! I am sure most of the entertainment shows would be more than happy to have a few mins virtual segment with them. Or at least one of the prime time network shows. we had some random radio stations interview Adam, but very few. IHeart radio had an hour (54 mins) program. There was A small segment on EXTRA, I can’t remember anything else, it even if I’m missing stuff it’s not much.
They were so happy to get the #1 In the UK = at home! I am so happy for the band and the whole team!

Queen and Adam could have also. But they just had other priorities and I can understand. They made good use of the time and promotion and Adam was all over the UK and Australia. So happy for the UK #1 as that was so important to them. 10#1s at home in the UK was a bigggg deal.

Adam seems to have been quiet on Instagram so I looked up Oliver's Instagram and I see he is visiting Portobello Market Road in London. If they are together, I hope they are having fun but are being careful!!

AMEN! I am in the same boat. I feel stupid, esp. given the low Amazon prices and the fact I work for Amazon... Never again buying through the club. I ordered from the Queen UK store and the DVD/CD hasn't arrived yet but I don't mind - if my order was what helped them get the #1 spot - at least for a week. They were all so excited about it and with Pink Black bulk purchasing it was not a guarantee at all. I'm disappointed that the album isn't higher in the US when other legacy LPs are doing quite well. Don't know what it is about the US esp. when Adam's name is involved. The radio stations seem excited when they talk to him but nothing seems to relate to higher sales - at least in the past 8 years or so. Checking my email records, the pre-order link from the original Queen email sent me to MusicVaultz, which after a bit of search shows to be "Canada's premier online record store". So my order was processed within Canada, did not count against the UK charts, and has STILL not been shipped (I just logged in and checked my order). So I am upset because for over 2 weeks now I can only listen to the album on Spotify, but I cannot watch the awesome Blu-Ray content, and I paid 4 times more for it than the Amazon bundle which would have been even cheaper for me as I get an employee discount on Prime purchases. ETA: I sent an email to the MusicVaultz customer service to see if I can cancel my order. Their terms document says I can return an unopened product within 14 days of its arrival, but since it hasn't even shipped to me yet, I asked them if I can cancel before that. I will let you all know what they will reply...
