Our Top 5 Queen Greatest Hits Songs

Having a copy of Queen ‘s Greatest Hits CD is kind of a mandatory staple for any music collection. The legendary UK rock band’s discography is one of the most impressive in modern history with songs that have soundtracked important moments in so many people’s lives.

With the resurgence of Queen in the charts thanks to the popularity of the 2018 film Bohemian Rhapsody, their music is more relevant than it's ever been. To celebrate the 40 year anniversary of the original release of their Greatest Hits album, they’ve unveiled a Limited Edition slip case with an exclusive CD sized art card. So we’ve compiled our 5 favourite songs from their Greatest Hits which are essential Queen favourites.  

5. Don’t Stop Me Now

This is one of my personal favourite songs from Queen. It’s got so much energy behind it and will have you just wanting to run around screaming the euphoric chorus. 

4. We Will Rock You

This is probably one of the most iconic “chant” songs of all time. If it doesn’t uplift you and put a huge smile on your face while singing it then I don’t know what else will. 

3.  Another One Bites The Dust

That guitar riff will forever live rent free in my mind. So much swagger and angst at the heart of it.

2. Somebody To Love

This song is actually VERY sad. If you strip it back completley it reads as a cry for help, a cry for love, and it’s beautiful. 

1. Bohemian Rhapsody

The fact that no one from their label believed that this “opera rock” song would do anything is crazy. It may have taken a while to catch on, but when it did it became a song that will never be forgotten. 

So many cool artists have covered this song over the years, but if you haven’t heard Panic! At The Disco or P!nk’s versions of the song, then you should probably get onto that.
