Fifty years ago today, Queen released the iconic single Bohemian Rhapsody. In 2002, the Guinness Book of Records chose it as the greatest British single of all time, and in 2012 it was voted the UK's best-ever number one by ITV viewers. It is the most-streamed song recorded in the 20th century.

"A lot of people have slammed Bohemian Rhapsody but if you listen to that single, who can you compare it to?" said Freddie Mercury. "Tell me one group that’s done an operatic single? I can’t think of one! But we didn’t do an operatic single because we thought we’d be the only group to do it. It just happened!"
