I just heard Freddie sing it at Chicago Stadium live for the first time (a recent download I finally burned to CD - 7/12/78) and he sounded freakin' incredible (big shock, I know...)

At least in Argentina Under pressure was #1 for some weeks... And Love of my life too =============================================================================================
Yeah, but didn't the Argentinian album chart have ten Queen albums in the top 10 simultaneously at one point (perhaps during the '81 visit??).

Hey folks, dont beat yourselves up too much about Queens record in the U.S.- The legendary Beach Boys' reads even worse. The legend wins through in the end, endless quotes as inspiration, rock and roll hall of fame, etc etc..

so you are saying queen albums occupied ALL of the top ten slots at the same time?...that's never been achieved anywhere in thw world...not even when JOhn Lennon or Elvis Presley died

Actually I think that The March of the Black Queen should be released as a single. Such a great piece remains mostly unknown. And I think that it could be a hit, just like Bohemian Rhapsody.
The Millionaire Waltz could be a great single too.
Keep Passing the Open Windows is a great song. But I think that it should be edited for a single: second half of this song is not as catchy as two verses in the beginning.
Was It All Worth It. Fantastic song. Best on the album. Could be a popular single.

KPTOW? Yeah actually, if the edit was tasteful, it would have been a good single. :)
And WIAWI? Ive already put my two cents out there earlier in the thread. :D

OK, I'll play along. Try these on for size:
"If You Can't Beat Them" and "Need Your Loving Tonight" - John Deacon

As to 'Under Pressure': it was released in the US about the same time as 'Greatest Hits', which included UP.
Why buy the single if you are buying, or bought, the album? And please don't say for the nonalbum B side....
I'm sure UPs inclusion helped sell a few more GH records.
