Ranking In Order of Greatness- Queen’s Top 40 singles. I was a little surprised a while back when studying Queen’s chart success in America that they only had twelve Top 40 hits {I am not counting the second time Bohemian Rhapsody was a hit in 1992 or 1993’s George Michael/ Queen remake of “Somebody To Love.” Queen’s hits though for the most part tended to be big hits- 2 #1’s “Crazy Little Thing Called Love” 1979 and “Another One Bites The Dust” 1980. Nine of their dozen hits made the Top 20. In ranking the singles I don’t care about chart success though.Tough ranking them- I like them all except for Body Language which was a turkey. They were much more successful in the United Kingdom with nearly 50 Top 40 hit singles.

As far as just a pure pop song you can’t get much better than You’re My Best Friend.
Agreed. One of their best. I prefer earlier Queen to later Queen and that has always been a favorite.
I agree with your list except I would flip Radio Gaga and Fat-Bottomed Girls.
when i think of Radio Gaga I think of Queen at Live Aid…
Yes, I do like it for that 🙂
I guess you have to include Radio Ga Ga on the list, even though, technically, it’s a terrible song. Live Aid was all about Freddie–especially that song. If he could elevate Radio Ga Ga to iconoclast, he could have ruled the world. I’m serious. It’s a terrifying thought.
