Popularity of individual members of Queen according to Google

I think most of us see Freddie as having been the most popular member of Queen, followed by Brian, then Roger, then John.

This is, interestingly but not surprisingly, mirrored by Google search results of their names (in between quotation marks):
-"Freddie Mercury" yields 14 million results
-"Brian May" 3.46 million
-"Roger Taylor" around 624,000 (some of these may actually be for Roger Taylor the Duran Duran drummer)
-"John Deacon" around 434,000 (not too bad for someone who has purposefully stayed out of the spotlight for 20+ years)

Freddie is roughly 75% more popular than Brian. Yes, I do have too much time on my hands.

Well, at least you are having fun... :)

At least a small percentage of the hits for Brian were probably for the other Brian May........lol

Please don't show it to Brian. Or it will ruin his ego...

I guess there's some results for "FreddY Mercury" too...?

There are more results for Freddy Mercury than for John Deacon. Ouch!

Freddie deserves to be in the lead, he was the one who done all the hard work in the band and
getting the crowds excited. Freddie is the king of Queen!

Yeah, especially in the early 80's when he stayed up all night working in the studio while the rest of the band went out clubbing.

You really take the biscuit here Gezza!!!

How the hell do you know the dynamics of the band?
You choose your opinions based on ...."cause he was the lead singer..."

Status Quo ringing in my ears again...

Down, down....deeper and down!!

Wasn't John the business guy circa 1981? Made their monies etc worth it.

Haha!

Putting band members against each other is absolutely petty and unfair. Having said that, it's a lot of fun n_n

It's obvious that from a chemical perspective, and from a legal perspective, they were each 25%. It's also obvious that from a mathematical perspective, different areas would have different so-called leaders or at least dominant forces.

John was more in charge of finances just like Roger was up front for tour coordination and choosing the album cover; Brian was the one who'd communicate with the outside world the most, especially with the fans - he was the first one ever to address the fan club via a letter, and would be the one who'd go out of his way to make the audience interact on a more personal level than just saying 'de oh.'

Freddie was indeed the dominant force in a number of areas, namely songwriting, producing, arranging, singing (he was both their main lead vocalist and, in the studio, their main backing vocalist) and he was, and still is, the focal point for the majority of viewers/listeners.

Ludwigs: Freddie was the Tour de force in Queen!
He designed the beautiful Queen crest and he got Brian & Roger out of the rut that was "Smile", with his amazing ideas about calling the band Queen,he just knew what he wanted, and Freddie was the first member of Queen to have a number one single with "Bohemian Rhapsody"
fusing rock with opera, which in those days was unique.
Brian, Roger & John were very fortunate to have such an exotic intelligent flamboyant singer in Freddie, and so that is why he is the greatest member in Queen.

He was just as fortunate to have such exotic intelligent people in them.
