"Another One Bites the Dust" is a song by the British rock band Queen. The song was written by the band's bass guitarist, John Deacon. Although all four members of Queen had a hand in writing the band's hits, this particular song is credited to Deacon. The song was a big departure from their earlier sound, but it brought Queen a new audience in 1980 when it was used with great success by the band's record company in the United States as part of a promotional campaign. It ranked Number 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 for three weeks. Notably, it's Queen's best-selling single, with sales over seven million copies. The song is recognized for its distinctive bass line and its lyrical content that talks about the inevitability of mortality. If you're interested in songwriting or music history, it's a fascinating case study in how bands can evolve and adapt new styles successfully.
