When Queen presented 'Bohemian Rhapsody' to their record label, executives were convinced it would be a disaster. At nearly six minutes long, it was twice the length of a standard radio single. The band was told no radio station would play a song that long. However, Freddie Mercury gave a copy to his friend, DJ Kenny Everett, who played it 14 times in one weekend on London's Capital Radio. Public demand was so overwhelming that the label was forced to release it. The song has no chorus, instead consisting of a ballad, an operatic section, and a hard rock finale. It spent nine weeks at number one in the UK and became a massive hit again in 1991 after Mercury's death and its inclusion in the film 'Wayne's World.' In 2018, it became the most-streamed song from the 20th century, surpassing 1.6 billion streams across all platforms.
