Queen Claims Multiple Top 10 Hits With Decades-Old Classics

Queen is a band that’s known for so many things – unique songwriting, incredible showmanship, and of course, frontman Freddie Mercury’s unmatchable charisma – but after all the years that have passed, it’s the countless iconic rock anthems that have stuck in millions of minds, hearts, and ears. These tunes continue to power several compilations from the group, which rarely vanish from the charts in the Western world. The constant streaming and buying of a handful of especially huge tracks is enough to ensure that Queen’s music is always present, and sometimes, the cuts themselves can appear as well.

The band performs the best in the United Kingdom, where the rockers got their start, and where they are still regarded as superheroes to this day. This week, Queen scores multiple top 10 hits on one specific tally – an achievement no other rock act can currently match.

Queen’s Two Top 10 Hits

The band occupies two spots inside the highest tier of the Official Rock & Metal Singles chart, the U.K.’s ranking of the top-selling tracks in those genres. No other name manages more than one win in the space at the moment, and Queen shares the region with stars like Disturbed, AC/DC, Metallica and Bon Jovi, among others.

“Don’t Stop Me Now” climbs one space to No. 4, while “Bohemian Rhapsody” returns to the top 10 this frame, jumping from No. 12 to No. 9.

“Don’t Stop Me Now” and “Bohemian Rhapsody”

Both “Don’t Stop Me Now” and “Bohemian Rhapsody” are counted among Queen’s five No. 1 hits on the Official Rock & Metal Singles chart, and they remain the longest-running of the bunch. The band’s other three champions — “Let Me Live,” “C-lebrity” with Paul Rodgers, and “Thank God It’s Christmas” — have each spent just one frame in the top spot.

Queen Owns 10% of the Chart

In total, Queen fills 10% of the available spaces on the 40-spot Official Rock & Metal Singles chart. “Another One Bites the Dust” bolts from No. 26 to No. 18. Next week, it will hit 550 frames on the tally.

Simultaneously, “We Will Rock You” returns to the list, breaking back in at No. 37. That track recently passed 700 weeks on this ranking, while both “Don’t Stop Me Now” and “Bohemian Rhapsody” have already pushed past the 800-frame milestone — and will likely reach 900 in the coming months.
