Queen : News of the World (40th Anniversary Edition Box Set)

 


SAMMY WAS LOW ,

JUST WATCHING THE SHOW

OVER AND OVER AGAIN

HE KNEW IT WAS TIME

HE'D MADE UP HIS MIND

TO LEAVE HIS DEAD LIFE BEHIND..



News of the World

 is the sixth

 studio album

 by the 

British Rock band

 Queen

 released on

 October,28th 1977

 by EMI Records

 in the

 United Kingdom 

and by 

Elektra Records

 in the United States. 

News of the World 

was the band's

 second album

 to be recorded at

 Sarm and Wessex 

Sound Studios

 in London, 

and engineered by 

Mike Stone, 

and was

 co-produced by

 the band

 and Stone.

In 1977, 

punk rock acts, 

most notably 

The Sex Pistols, 

sparked massive

 backlash against

 progressive 

rock artists 

such as 

Queen,

 to which the band

 responded by 

simplifying their 

symphonic 

rock sound 

and gearing towards

 a more spontaneous

 hard rock sound. 

The album subsequently 

reached number 4 

on the

 UK Albums Chart 

and number 3

 on the 

US Top Albums chart 

while achieving 

high certifications 

around the world

. It has sold over

 4 million copies

 in United States.


 Its lead single,

 "We Are the Champions", 

reached number two

 on the 

UK Singles Chart 

and number four 

on the

 Billboard Hot 100.

 Critical reaction to 

News of the World 

was initially mixed, 

with many reviewers 

commenting on the

 band's change 

in musical style.

 However,

 it has since come to be

 regarded as one of

 Queen's 

greatest albums, 

while

 "We Are the Champions" 

and

 "We Will Rock You" 

have since 

become 

rock anthems
