It reached number 1 in the UK
and it climbed up to or slept at number 46 in the US. So it is written in the Book "As It Began" by Jim Jenkins and Jacky Gunn.
So for me it´s hard to believe that the single reached the top 50 in the states, while even the album failed the top forty.

It is considered a shitty album here (USA)Nobody here wanted to hear that crap from them. They didn't even have the balls to tour here after Hot Space.

That's due to the fact Queen was considered a hard rock band in the USA... usually Queen would even release rockier tracks in the US than the UK (the UK got Save Me, Spread Your Wings, etc). We got Need Your Loving Tonight, It's Late, etc)
Queen fans in the US were used to their hard rock stuff, but when it got to be more like pop, they stopped buying Queen's music.

The single didn't reach the top 40 (nor did the album) and it's just too bad it had to happen that way.

Maybe a pure Soundtrack-Album for the Highlander-Movie would had been a better idea in those days in the US.
There are a lot of Hard-Rock songs included:
Gimme The Prize, Princess Of the Universe or Hammer To Fall. Also the New York,New York-Theme and the final version of A kind Of Magic are brilliant and rocky. I think this version sounds much better than the album version.
