Queen The Greatest: 50-Part YouTube Series

21: 1981 – The Greatest Greatest Hits

To mark the bands first decade, Queen’s Greatest Hits was released – packed with 17 of their biggest hits to date. Today it’s still the ultimate playlist, and the biggest selling UK album, ever.


22: Brian May’s Hits

Celebrating five of Queen’s biggest hits, all written by the band’s iconic lead guitarist – Brian May. Including classics such as “I Want It All”, “Save Me” and, of course, “We Will Rock You”.


23: 1981 – Queen Rock South America

Off the back of their tremendous success in North America, Queen are invited to venture into new territory and tour South America. It turns out to be one of their biggest challenges yet – but the response from the vast, enthusiastic crowds is beyond anything they could have imagined.


24: 1981: Under Pressure

Celebrating what is, for many, the greatest collaboration in rock history. The story of how Queen were joined in Montreux by David Bowie, and a night of fooling around in the recording studio resulted in a number one single.


25: On Video

Having essentially invented the Music Video with “Bohemian Rhapsody”, Queen went on to create some of the most iconic promos in rock history. Here we celebrate a few of their finest, including a couple that upset the suits at MTV.


26: 1984: Radio Ga Ga

Celebrating another Queen classic, this time composed by Roger Taylor, which was not only a worldwide smash hit single, but also arguably the band’s most distinctive video, as well as a year later at Live Aid, becoming one of the most memorable moments in the history of live music.


27: Ay-Oh

Celebrating the evolution of Freddie Mercury as the ultimate showman. From the beginning, Freddie understood the importance of winning a crowd, and over the years became the absolute master – culminating in one of the most iconic moments in music history at Live Aid in 1985.


28: Love Of My Life

Originally released on Queen’s 1975 A Night At The Opera album, this beautifully unassuming ballad looked destined to be one of the band’s hidden gems. Instead, it grew into an emotional duet that is a cornerstone moment in the Queen live show to this very day.


29: 1985: Rock In Rio

No celebration of Queen’s greatest moments would be complete without a look back at their record breaking performance at Rock In Rio, featuring some rare interviews from the after show party.


30: 1985: Live Aid

Queen’s finest 20 minutes? Hear from all four members of the band as we look back at Queen’s stunning contribution to one of the most important and memorable events in music history.
