ANOTHER ONE BITES THE DUST BY QUEEN

     Taken from Queen's 1980 album "The Game", the band scored their biggest selling single ever with the irresistible "Another One Bites The Dust".  The song was tremendously successful, hitting #1 on the US Billboard charts and becoming a #2 hit on both the R&B and Disco charts.  The single would sell over 7 million copies worldwide, and ranked #34 on Billboard's All Time Top 100.  The pounding bass line was inspired by Chic's "Good Times", and supposedly after attending a Queen concert, Michael Jackson suggested to Freddie Mercury to release "Another One Bites The Dust" as a single.  Luckily for us, Freddie listened to MJ.
