Queen are one of the greatest bands in rock history, with LOADS of classic songs and albums. Who doesn't love them?
With 13 number ones across the world, they are the only band where each member is credited as the sole writer of a chart topping hit. That's right: Freddie Mercury, Brian May, Roger Taylor and John Deacon all wrote at least number one each.
BUT the story is actually a little bit more complicated than that. This video is about Queen's chart history, songwriting and band background. Hope you enjoy it!

hi there, good vid...we are the champions as far as I remember was number one for 12 weeks in France. The rules stated at the time that 12 weeks was the limit any song could top the charts. That was the reason they switched the sides and We Will Rock You then spent its own 12 weeks at number one ;)

You might want to look at the songwriters hall of fame site (in the USA) which lists each members songs that got them in the hall of fame. Queen members -check it out. It will help you understand why people claim each member wrote hits and were inducted in the rock and roll hall of fame. Queen’s music was eclectic because each member wrote music but they all did work on each song especially later in their careers.

I'll always remember A kind of magic, when I was almost 8. Even better when I found out years later, how different the original version was, from Highlander,and how Freddie pretty much rearranged it all.

Good video about Queen and good information about his number 1s, now I will give you a curious fact about Bowie: Bowie got a number 1 on each continent with different songs, examples: Sorrow (1973) reached number 1 in South Africa, Space Oddity (re release in 1975) reached number 1 in the United Kingdom, Fame (1975) reached number 1 in the United States, Lets Dance (1983) reached number 1 in many countries, including New Zealand, and Seven Years in Tibet (1997) reached number 1 in Hong Kong, with a version that Bowie released in Mandarin

Freddie could have made a fuss over Rogers kind of magic He didn't interfere with the film version He felt it could be a hit so added guitar and solo and bass and re arranged it Roger gives credit to Freddie for making it a hit but its completly credited to Roger I do think Roger should have put one of Freddies songs as a B side to get credit

Bo Rap Brian did the solo on most songs. There was an issue with an earlier song, Freddie wrote the solo but Brian contributed so wanted shared credit for the whole song Freddie said no If he prefers to do his own fine and that will be noted but not officially not financially Brian agreed to that

If Brian expected financial shares on each song because of his solo they would have wrote them for him

The Beatles may not have achieved it, because of Ringo, but in reality they did do it alone, it is the only band in history where its 4 members have achieved number 1 solo, and also, much more merit because each one had at least 2 Number 1 in the United States!

Freddie songs except for Brians solo Were composed and written by him If there was anything significant it would be noted such as a phrase If it was cinsiderable it would be joint credit

Queen always stated who wrote the songs, they consider whoever wrote the lyrics was the writer. So that's how Queen viewed the credits. In the 90s they decided credits would go to all band members to cut down on arguments. You're not really correct about Queen.

What a downer! Don’t understand the necessity for this. Headache here. Terrible conversation, your words and my mind. The reverse of and almost as horrible to think about as communities not wanting children to learn real American history. Can’t we be constructive please? EDIT: Had to do an immediate return with reminder. I don’t think neither of the two remaining adored Queen members still very active have written a contender for being a hit. Roger’s Outsider album is wonderful but…. Anyway Freddie died, and there’s been no new Queen song to flirt with being No. 1. Freddie’s input importance is obvious by that. Yes, Horrible conversation here.
