CAFFE` LATTE` 
TOP 1200 CHOICE TRACKS


#380 WE ARE THE CHAMPIONS Queen
Following the success of "Bohemian Rhapsody", Queen were churning out anthemic tunes that included "We Will Rock You" and "We are the Champions". Both tracks were featured on the group's 1977 album 'News of the World'. 
Freddie Mercury wrote the song. The group produced the recording with assistance from Mike Stone. ".... Champions" was released as half of a double A-side release with Brian May's composition "We Will Rock You". This pairing paid dividends: reaching #2 in Britain, 3 in the USA, #1 in France and also peaked in the Top 10 in Australia, New Zealand, Ireland and the Netherlands. The song has been adopted by numerous sporting teams and was a highlight of many Queen concerts.

This is a list made up of the songs I enjoy the most, ranked in order of preference: the higher we go, the more I cherish them. Some were released as singles, others as album tracks. Some are obscure; others were worldwide hits or have universal appeal. They aren't always the most famous or popular, but simply a personal choice. I have excluded songs from the last few years in order to get a better idea of a song's lasting impression. I hope you find some new tracks to love, or re-discover some past favourites.
2 new songs are added each day (every 12 hours)  with a mid-week bonus every Wednesday.
