Back in the day, the musicians were known for conjuring up true hard rock music, though the meaning of the genre and what qualifies under that designation have changed dramatically throughout the decades.<\/p>\n<p>Because Queen still fits beneath that broad \u201chard rock\u201d umbrella, the band can almost always be found on Billboard\u2019s rankings that focus on that style. This frame, the superstars manage to tie another one of the most successful acts in the history of one tally as multiple smashes become chart hits again.<\/p>\n<p>Queen Charts Three Streaming Hits Simultaneously<\/p>\n<p>Queen claims three hits in America this week, and all of them appear on the <a class=\"color-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.billboard.com\/charts\/hard-rock-streaming-songs\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" data-ga-track=\"ExternalLink:https:\/\/www.billboard.com\/charts\/hard-rock-streaming-songs\/\" aria-label=\"Hard Rock Streaming Songs chart\">Hard Rock Streaming Songs chart<\/a>. <a class=\"color-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=fJ9rUzIMcZQ\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" data-ga-track=\"ExternalLink:https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=fJ9rUzIMcZQ\" aria-label=\"\u201cBohemian Rhapsody\u201d\">\u201cBohemian Rhapsody\u201d<\/a> drops from No. 12 to No. 20. At the same time, \u201cUnder Pressure,\u201d the band\u2019s collaboration with David Bowie, and \u201cAnother One Bites the Dust\u201d reenter simultaneously at Nos. 24 and 25, respectively.<\/p>\n<p>Queen Matches Linkin Park\u2019s Three Smashes<\/p>\n<p>Queen is one of only two acts to fill three spaces on this week\u2019s Hard Rock Streaming Songs chart. The band joins Linkin Park, which also claims a trio of positions. The nu-metal outfit scores a pair of top 10s, as \u201cIn the End\u201d and \u201cNumb\u201d sit at Nos. 3 and 9, respectively. \u201cSomewhere I Belong\u201d lands much lower at No. 23, placing just ahead of both \u201cUnder Pressure\u201d and \u201cAnother One Bites the Dust.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>AC\/DC and Three Days Grace Score Two Hits Each<\/p>\n<p>Two other groups lay claim to a pair of spaces apiece on the Hard Rock Streaming Songs chart this time around. AC\/DC lands at Nos. 4 and 19 with \u201cThunderstruck\u201d and \u201cYou Shook Me All Night Long,\u201d respectively. Three Days Grace also fills two spaces, with \u201cAnimal I Have Become\u201d and \u201cI Hate Everything About You\u201d appearing at Nos. 11 and 18, respectively.<\/p>\n<p>Queen\u2019s Hits Have Charted for Hundreds of Weeks<\/p>\n<p>All three of Queen\u2019s current smashes on the Hard Rock Streaming Songs ranking have already spent hundreds of weeks on the tally. \u201cBohemian Rhapsody\u201d is the longest-running of the bunch, with 323 turns on the rundown. That\u2019s enough to easily make it easily Queen\u2019s sturdiest hit. \u201cAnother One Bites the Dust\u201d and <a class=\"color-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=a01QQZyl-_I\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" data-ga-track=\"ExternalLink:https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=a01QQZyl-_I\" aria-label=\"\u201cUnder Pressure\u201d\">\u201cUnder Pressure\u201d<\/a> have also both managed more than 200 frames on the list of the most-played hard rock cuts on all streaming platforms in the U.S.<\/p>\n<p>Queen Has Only Charted One No. 1 Hit<\/p>\n<p>Queen has only ever reached No. 1 on the Hard Rock Streaming Songs chart once. \u201cBohemian Rhapsody\u201d has spent 43 weeks atop the roster, and it could add to that sum.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAnother One Bites the Dust\u201d and \u201cUnder Pressure\u201d are counted among the group\u2019s four top 10s, as they peaked at Nos. 3 and 9, respectively. \u201cWe Will Rock You\u201d is sandwiched between them in terms of loftiest position ever reached, as it debuted and peaked at No. 7.<\/p>\n<p>Only <a class=\"color-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=HgzGwKwLmgM\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" data-ga-track=\"ExternalLink:https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=HgzGwKwLmgM\" aria-label=\"\u201cDon\u2019t Stop Me Now\u201d\">\u201cDon\u2019t Stop Me Now\u201d<\/a> missed out on the uppermost tier. The fifth and final Queen cut to ever land on the Hard Rock Streaming Songs chart eventually rose to No. 21 years after it first landed on the list.<\/p>\n<p>Queen\u2019s Greatest Hits Rules Again<\/p>\n<p>Queen has one album charting in America this week, as the outfit\u2019s hugely popular Greatest Hits continues its extraordinary run on several Billboard rankings. The compilation is once again No. 1 on the Top Hard Rock Albums chart, where it has now spent an astounding 222 weeks in first place. It also remains inside the top 10 on both the Top Rock Albums and Top Rock &amp; Alternative Albums tallies. At the same time, Greatest Hits drops on both the Billboard 200 and the Top Streaming Albums ranking.<\/p>\n<p><a class=\"embed-base color-body color-body-border link-embed embed-0\" href=\"https:\/\/www.forbes.com\/sites\/hughmcintyre\/2026\/04\/17\/queen-rises-to-a-never-before-seen-chart-peak-in-america\/\" target=\"_blank\" aria-label=\"Queen Rises To A Never-Before-Seen Chart Peak In America\" data-ga-track=\"forbesEmbedly:https:\/\/www.forbes.com\/sites\/hughmcintyre\/2026\/04\/17\/queen-rises-to-a-never-before-seen-chart-peak-in-america\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">ForbesQueen Rises To A Never-Before-Seen Chart Peak In AmericaBy Hugh McIntyre<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Two Queen hits \u2014 &#8220;Another One Bites the Dust&#8221; and \u201cUnder Pressure\u201d with David Bowie \u2014 return to&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":320448,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[37],"tags":[675,120784,9,24,63,666,120788,96805,96804,120785,120787,120786,122,124,123,120783],"class_list":["post-320447","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-queens","tag-another-one-bites-the-dust","tag-hard-rock-streaming-songs","tag-new-york","tag-new-york-city","tag-nyc","tag-queen","tag-queen-another-one-bites-the-dust","tag-queen-billboard","tag-queen-charts","tag-queen-under-pressure","tag-queen-under-pressure-billboard","tag-queen-under-pressure-charts","tag-queens","tag-queens-headlines","tag-queens-news","tag-under-pressure"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/320447","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=320447"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/320447\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/320448"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=320447"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=320447"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=320447"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
