Main article: Another One Bites the Dust
"Another One Bites the Dust" was written by John Deacon. The song is known as a disco song and was released as a single at the suggestion of American singer Michael Jackson, who was a huge fan of the group and would often see them in concert whenever they came to Los Angeles. "Another One Bites The Dust" was a worldwide success reaching #1 in America and many other countries and in the UK it reached #7. After the success of the song, Queen recorded Hot Space, which was a more disco album. It is credited as Queen's best selling single, having sold 7 million records worldwide. The song was played live since 1980 till the last tour with Freddie in 1986. The part of this song was performed during Queen medley songs by Extreme on The Freddie Mercury Tribute Concert in 1992.

"Crazy Little Thing Called Love" was written by Mercury while lounging in a bubble bath in the Bayerischer Hof Hotel in Munich, where Queen were staying during the making of "The Game".
