This is a By Request playlist... A couple months back I was approached to look into bands that have been able to successfully release back to back to Platinum releases. A feat not easily accomplished even for some of the more widely known bands. So if you take out the Beatles, Zeppelin, Stones, etc it gets slightly a bit tougher!
Here in the US this band has done it 5 times in a row, but in Poland their entire catalog is Platinum and that’s why I’ve chosen Queen. I found it astounding that their entire catalog is Platinum in Poland, that’s got to be some kind of something! But the other reason I chose them is because I’ve not posted enough in the Hidden Treasures column about them, so here’s 3 of their platinum albums that are back-to-back-to-back.
Just so you know, Poland aside, I've limited my view of Platinum status to UK/US, so with that in mind what other bands have accomplished such a feat? Listen first, then return and report...

And if you throw Alive II in there it's back to back to back to back to back.
Def Leppard did it five straight times.
Whitesnake went deep 3 straight times.
I overplayed the first two songs posted here when I was a youngster. Thought they were wicked cool then, think they're wicked cool now. The first time I ever heard those songs was off the "Live Killers" album. Both versions are awesome.
"The Prophet's Song" is kinda funny to me, even though I had the album the only songs I was concerned about were "Death On Two Legs" (because the word "ass" was used) and, of course "Bohemian Rhapsody". The rest of the songs were just background at first, but the more I listened to more I discovered. Hell, the whole album is great, but it took a few listens before I really noticed "The Prophet's Song". I like it more than BH because it's NOT OVERPLAYED. I also was very familiar with "I'm In Love With My Car" becauee that was the b-side to BR. "Sweet Lady" is an awesome song too....ok, the whole album is.
Too bad you lied about "'39". It's not on the player.
"A Day At The Races" was the same. The more I listened to it, the more I "discovered". Now I listen to these albums and I know what the next song should be, know all the words, etc., etc., etc. yet I don't get tired of them.
Fine list even though you advertised incorrectly.
