Short story:

Bohemian Rhapsody by Queen enters the UK singles chart, where it will peak at No1.

Full article:

Thom Yorke (Radiohead) : I was nine when I first heard Queen’s Bohemian Rhapsody. It blew my mind. Mind you it was the first record I’d ever heard! My parents weren’t into music and even though we did have a record player at home, the only album we had was a Scottish dancing LP.

David McAlmont (McAlmont And Butler) : As children, both my sister and I were completely spellbound by Queen, from the first time we heard Bohemian Rhapsody to the point that it fell out of the charts. We loved that song and were positioned in front of Top Of The Pops weekly so we could perform our version.
