Team Queen came into being in 1970, and its debut album, simply titled eponymously, saw the light of day three years later. The group quickly attracted the attention of listeners and critics, but it was their fourth album that proved crucial for their position. We are talking about the already legendary A Night at the Opera, which was released in November 1975. The album reached number one in the UK charts and spent a further four weeks there, and the project also became Queen’s first to go platinum in the US.
The first single from the album was a song titled Bohemian Rhapsody. The composition lasts, impressively for the 70s, almost six minutes (5:55 to be exact), but it managed to achieve huge success all over the world. Today, this anthem is known as the first in Queen’s career to reach the top in the UK, and is considered the most popular of the band’s career. Many also consider Bohemian Rhapsody as one of the most important rock songs of all time.
