As well as being Queen's best seller, it's also one of the UK's biggest singles of all time, with 2.6 million pure sales. As a result, it is one of the longest-reigning Number 1 hits of all-time. It first topped the Christmas charts in 1975 and pulled it off again 16 years later, after Freddie's death. The only song to have made it to Christmas Number 1 twice. The song places third on their Top 20 bestsellers with 828,000 sales. Although it was a joint project in terms of co-writing and producing, Bowie didn't perform the song until after Mercury's death, at a tribute concert in 1992.

The track was composed on an electric piano, when Freddie described as "tinny and horrible", but it nonetheless has "the desired effect".
