Queen "Bohenmian Rhapsody"

This was the group's first hit single and first number 1, it stayed at the top of the charts for 9 weeks which caused a problem when they had to perform the single at Top of the Pops each week and they were on tour at the time. So to defeat this problem the group made a promotional video to play instead whilst they were on tour.
The video itself costed £4,500 and took 4 hours to film, the opening of the video with the four members in formation has to be one of the most famous images of all time. The special effects at the time were cutting-edge and impressive to audiences.
The video will always be recognised as one of the greats, and is ranked number 4 of the 100 greatest videos.It became so popular, that Radio 2 decided to continue this as an annual tradition, dubbing it the radio event of the year. Currently, about half the Dutch population listens to it, and for 2011's edition the number of votes was around 20% of the population. It creates a feeling of nostalgia that perfectly fits the last days of the year. And it seems to fill a need for people to feel some good old "gezelligheid" or coziness in this individual era.
