Tuesday, 11 December 2018 7:09PMThey said it would never sell, with its six-minute play time, operatic passages and lyrics about Galileo and Scaramouche but Queen’s Bohemian Rhapsody has become the most streamed song of the 20th century.

Boosted by the new movie Bohemian Rhapsody, the 1975 single and music video surpassed 1.6 billion streams globally, record company Universal Music Group said.

The song overtook the likes of Nirvana’s Smells Like Teen Spirit, and Guns N’ Roses’ Sweet Child O’Mine and is now also the most streamed classic rock song of all time, Universal added.

The Bohemian Rhapsody film, starring Rami Malek as late Queen frontman Freddie Mercury, has brought the music of the British rock band to a new generation.

Five weeks after its release, it has also become the highest grossing musical biography movie ever, with a global box office take of $US600 million ($833 million).

Malek was nominated for a Golden Globe last week for his performance and is widely expected to get an Oscar nomination.

Universal said it had been promoting the single across streaming platforms in recent weeks.

It used all registered streams on global on-demand services including Spotify, Apple Music and Deezer as well as streams from official song/video streams on YouTube to determine the finding.

Agreed & since horlicks isn't online yet, I've helped him out with a few hidden, unnecessary posts.
Stayer you were asked again not to quote the post immediately above but in your self admitted inebriated state last night, you've obviously forgotten Angry

You got off very lightly thanks to horlicks so please make an attempt to respect fellow members in this thread at the very least.
This applies to all of you - in case it needs saying.

Wisdom has been chasing me but I've always outrun it!

Keeping in mind all those musicians are self taught, and could not read a sheet of music if it was put in front of them.

Some famous good ole country boys there , from my time in Nashville. LOL

Loads of entertainers have died in small plane crashed in America. I wonder if there is a complete list anywhere. I don't know of it ever happening here.
