There will never be another Freddie!! The moves, the voice, the strut, Everything! Love and Miss him 💔

As someone just said, a band doesn't reach popularity by having number 1 hits. Queen songs are heard everywhere, for 50 years and continues. Doesn't matter if these songs are number 1....

AMEN great comment !!

The band had some of the most iconic songs that weren’t number ones yet are now more played than a lot of other stuff. That said this was their biggest US hit. At least the US is finally realizing their genius

Only band that all members wrote and had number one hits and all have degrees

​@IzxXN4T210XxzI Ringo did not write a hit as a Beatle. All four Queen members are in the songwriters Hall of Fame.

Queen has always been criticized by the specialized media for making music so diverse that it was never understood in its own time. You could say that Queen's music was made to be eternal and not just fashionable. Maybe that's why there are few nos. 1 including in England. Furthermore, after the American MTV banned the video for I Want to Break Free, Queen decided to stop touring the USA and, as a consequence, also stopped appearing on the charts. Most no. 1 of the band are from other countries such as Japan, Argentina and Brazil. Despite this, the Greatest Hits 1 album is the best-selling album in the United Kingdom, surpassing the 7 million units mark. Next up is ABBA Gold: Greatest Hits and The Beatles' Sgt Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band.

Thank you DEAKY for this brilliant iconic song ❤️

You need to do innuendo next guys it's my fave aswell as Barcelona & obviously somebody to love who wants to live forever you'll here Brian mays fantastic voice opening the song, the remix of living on my own is brilliant too

In queen case their live sound always better as they always take perfection to another level more like studio album is teaser😂

You for got another great Queen song another anthem. We are the champions .

John Deacon wrote this song. Sure I remember that he wrote part of this as a teenager but never put it all together until the late 70s. Something like 3 and a half to 4 million sold in the US according to Roger Taylor. I think this is the biggest selling Queen song.

Actually John Deacon played almost all instruments on this ,including bass,piano,electric rhythm guitar,and hand claps,..Brian contributed noises on his guitar and a harmonizer, Roger added a drum loop,..no synthesizers used on this song..according to wiki…Thanks for the great reaction❤

Yes apparently Brian May said that he found that when he had to play the twiddly part on stage he found it very difficult to play. Where as on the record it’s actually John playing this part.

Bohemian Rhapsody was the MOST STREAMED SONG of the 20th CENTURY ! 💛 Miss you Queen and esp FREDDIE 🥰🌷

Yes, I have the original 12” vinyl extended edition. The sound quality on it is out of this world!

Queen in the early years made absolutely no money from their songs. I could be wrong but I am almost sure they said they made nothing from Bohemian Rhapsody when it first came out. Roger Taylor said that the record producers were driving around in Rolls Royces and Limos and he had to literally beg for them to buy him some drumsticks. If you want to hear the ultimate diss song before diss songs were a thing listen to Queen's song Death on Two Legs (Dedicated to....). They wrote it about their manager and producers at the time.

No money on the first 3 Freddie had no royalties for the singles Freddie refused to carry on so they went to a lawyer jim beach Pay their way out of their contract Signed direct with EMI They gave them a huge advance on their next album Night of the opera First royalties Freddie first royalties for bo rap Which Roger shared because he got his sing as b side!

A bands success is not based on the amount of number ones they have its based on the amount of hits they have and the amount of successful albums they make. Its different these days many don't have genuine number ones they have streaming number ones so they don't really count or have the gravitas of yesteryear.

Want to hear a song they wrote when they finally caught on the first music companies that messed with Queen? Try Death on Two Legs. Freddie wrote that and the band supported hi with a song that burned him so bad he sued for defamation. Also if you haven’t heard Innuendo you should. It’s brilliant.

1st and only single queen track I've ever bought, back in the midst of time when 7" singles sold by the millions.

I had this 45. The b side was a song called "Don't Try Suicide". It's a great song and needs a great reaction.

I am sure this song was number one in several charts in the US as no-one seemed to know what genre this fitted into. I have a vague memory that there is a theory amongst some music scholars that this is an early example of Hip Hop. I am no expert in that field so that is a debate for more learned people than I.

How about: A kind of magic Under pressure Radio gaga Crazy little thing called love Don't stop me now and that's off the top of my head that you haven't mentioned.

John wrote this song

Responding to your bit about Jackson and The Beatles - Michael Jackson actually outbid Paul McCartney for the Beatles songs. From an interview I saw with Paul, Jackson actually told Paul that he was going to do it but from what the latter said he didn’t take him seriously. “He said ‘I’m gonna buy your songs’. I thought ‘I love this guy, he’s a great laugh, you know’”. Paul really got pissed off when Jackson sold off one of John’s songs, Revolution, to Nike for an advert for trainers as he felt Jackson was cheapening what the song was about when it was written.

Do not forget it was the Junkyard dogs tune, wrestler from the WWF days.

You spoke about the Lennon & McCartney songs being owned by Michael Jackson. Google how the songs ended up out of their control. It took years for Sir Paul to buy them back and MJ, IMO, was very underhanded in his acquisition of the songs. Interesting read and highlights how important it is to keep control of a band's musical assets.

I think if Gabe grows his mustache out a little, he could make a passable Freddie Mercury impersonator!

Darn I was thinking the same thing, but can he sing like Freddie?❤ I love Queen, so amazing, I love Radio Gaga, especially when he gets the entire audience clapping to the chorus, you might want to listen to Driven By You by Brian May, brilliant song, this was after Freddie passed

Rock you Brians was no 1 in France Bo Rap Freddies no 1 uk 9wks! And other countries Then 91 for 5wks 92 us no 1

Rock you double A side with champions US no 4

I've always wondered, how much Freddie still makes every year. I know Mary now own the rights.

They might have more #1 hits in the UK but not here in the U.S.

Watch wembley 86 live?

Coke studio 15 Pakistan is out guys!!!! Waiting for your reactions 😊

What are you on about? Bohemian Rhapsody reached No1 both times it was released, in fact it is the only UK song to have been Christmas No1 twice with the same line up

Speaking of musicians getting screwed, play Death on two legs by Queen

I'm sorry, there's no way this is a real legitimate reaction.

🥰❤💪💪

This is their biggest hit world wide, out selling Bho Rhap by a million copies. Brian and Roger never liked it. John plays all the guitars on the track, Brian just makes funny noises in the middle. Michael Jackson convinced them it would be a hit, otherwise they wouldn't have released it. This is the only version, no extended remixes. It is longer live and varies from show to show. Wembley '86 is my fav, Freddie skats in the middle and plays with the crowd.

Well Gabe. Now you know Elvis started his Singing Career in Queen. Or did he?

Please also react to Sayonee Song Coke Studio Season 10

Speaking of Prince, he changed his name to that unpronounceable symbol as an "F-U" to his record label of the time. There was a method to his "madness."

The best b line and drum groove ever end of! The ultimate rap rip off!!

Talk about stealing Vanillia Ice stole Under Pressure baseline and Queen won and you better they get their royalties.

There are better live versions
