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.
