Bohemian Rhapsody TOPS The Greatest Showman with THIS new record

It was the biggest winner at the Oscars this years, taking home four Academy Awards – including Best Actor for Rami Malek. Now Bohemian Rhapsody has broken The Greatest Showman’s home release record. According to the Official Charts Company, the Freddie Mercury biopic sold an impressive 465,000 discs in its first week of physical release. This is the biggest disc debut since The Greatest Showman managed an impressive 497,000 in the same time frame.

This new record beat Avengers Infinity War’s previous record of 253,000 digital downloads in the same time frame.

Following its huge success, there’s now talk of a Bohemian Rhapsody sequel.

He told Page Six: “I’m sure [Jim Beach] plans a sequel that starts with Live Aid.

“[It’s] being heavily discussed in the Queen family.”

While Brian May said last year: “Who knows there might be a sequel.
