Queen – News Of The World / 40th Anniversary Edition - is the sixth studio album by legendary British rock band Queen. The album was first released on October 28, 1977 and is considered one of the most distinctive albums in the band's history. News of the World was released in 1977 and followed the successful 1976 album A Day at the Races. The album "News of the World" showed a departure from the progressive rock elements Queen had previously used in their music, moving towards a harder and rockier sound. It contains a wide range of styles including rock, hard rock, pop and even punk rock influences. Some of the album's most famous songs include "We Will Rock You" and "We Are the Champions". These two hits became anthems of rock music and are still an integral part of many sporting events and concerts today. The album cover for "News of the World" was designed by renowned science fiction artist Frank Kelly Freas. It depicts a giant, robotic creature holding members of the band in its hands, which is a surreal and iconic depiction. In addition to the two hits mentioned above, the album contains other notable songs such as "Spread Your Wings", "It's Late" and "My Melancholy Blues". Each of these songs contributes to the diversity of the album. "News of the World" was a huge commercial success and reached high chart positions in various countries. It cemented Queen as one of the most influential rock bands of the 1970s and helped them appeal to a wider audience. The songs from "News of the World" became staples of Queen's live performances and can also be heard on many of the band's live albums. "News of the World" was an important milestone in Queen's career and showcases the band's versatility in musical style and artistry. With hits such as "We Will Rock You" and "We Are the Champions", this album left a lasting impression on the world of rock music and is an integral part of Queen's musical legacy.
