“This track is very much John Deacon world. I don’t think I was on it at all to start off with! He was much more into funk than we were. So it’s his rhythm guitar playing – not mine”: Brian May on the No 1 hit that made Queen the biggest band in the world

Queen in 1980.

“That song is a very important part of the Queen canon,” Brian May said. “It’s perhaps our biggest song ever in terms of sales.”

The legendary guitarist was talking about Another One Bites The Dust, the disco-influenced track from 1980 that hit the top 10 in the UK and all over the world and became the band’s second US No 1.
