Queen are one of the greatest rock bands in history, formed in London in 1971, originally consisting of the late Freddie Mercury, Brian May, John Deacon, and Roger Taylor.
The band has released a total of 18 #1 albums, and 18 #1 singles worldwide. Their album sales are estimated to be around 200 million, making them one of the world's best-selling music artists.
It was the release of “A Night at the Opera” in 1975 that first brought the band to international prominence and the featured single "Bohemian Rhapsody", launched their long careers, charting at number one in the UK Singles Chart for nine weeks.
"Bohemian Rhapsody" was voted "the UK's favourite hit of all time" in a poll. Acclaimed for their stadium rock, a poll ranked Queen's performance at Live Aid in 1985 as the best live act in history. In 2007, they were also voted the greatest British band in history by listeners to BBC Radio 2.
The song '39 relates the tale of a group of space explorers who embark on a year-long voyage. However, upon their return, they realise that a hundred years have passed, due to the time dilation effect in Einstein's Theory of Special Relativity. Congratulations to BigKids48 and timNmatt for their joint first to find.
