- They have a loyal group of fans in the United Kingdom, where they have enjoyed more hits than any other group in rock and roll history (over 60 as of 2006), as well as a big following in mainland Europe, most notably in The Netherlands.
In November 2006 they performed in a Children in Need feature called "How Clean Is Your Gig?", looking at their tour bus.
On the 1 July 2007, they performed in front of 63,000 people at the newly built Wembley Stadium as part of the Concert for Diana.
Their latest album, 'In Search of the Fourth Chord', was released on the band's own Fourth Chord label in September 2007. Produced by veteran producer Pip Williams, who had worked with Quo in the studio since 1977, the album was critically acclaimed as a continued return to form but was not a huge commercial success.
Status Quo's song entitled "Pictures of Matchstick Men" was featured in Mack Dawg Productions' snowboard film "We're People Too!" (2007) during Nima Jalali's segment.

- QUO now hold the record for more hit singles than any other band, both international and British, in UK chart history, in November 2005 they were presented with certificates commemorating this milestone by the Guinness British Book of Hit Singles & Albums.STATUS QUO'S total world-wide record sales exceed 118 million units.
QUO'S frantic gig schedule came to a temporary halt on May 1st 1997 when RICK PARFITT was rushed into a hospital for an emergency quadruple heart by-pass operation. Parfitt's life saving surgery came less than a week after QUO had returned from gruelling round the world tour which had seen the band play a major series of shows in Japan, Australia, The USA and The Middle East in under five weeks. The operation resulted in the cancellation of twenty European festival dates and, following a three month recuperation, the band returned to live work with a massive outdoor gig at Norwich FC on August 2nd.
In 1981 QUO became one of the first recipients of the co - About This Site And My Quest!
