Bohemian Rhapsody by Queen was written by Freddie Mercury in 1975 for Queens new album A Night at the Opera. This song was great success in the UK after its release in October 1975 it had sold over one million copies by the end of January 1976. The song was number one in the charts for 9 weeks in a row then again reached number one in 1991 after Freddie Mercury's death for a further 5 weeks. The main reason why this video was created was because they were at number one for so long they had to keep coming back to Top of the Pops to sing it, so they created the video so they didn't have to keep coming back. All of Queens songs were originally written by Brian May in a studio but this song was entirely Freddie Mercury's idea and was left entirely to him to write and create it. This song now has the title of the 'best selling single of all time'.
The reason why this song is my favorite music video is because of the creativity inside of it and them filming some of it through a prism so it looks like there is more than the four members of Queen.
