Queen – We Are The Champions

Queen – We Are The Champions / We Will Rock You

Own one of the most iconic double-sided singles in rock history with Queen – We Are The Champions / We Will Rock You, the classic 1977 pairing that helped define the sound of stadium and arena rock.

Released on 7 October 1977 alongside Queen’s sixth studio album News Of The World, the single brought together two of the band's most enduring anthems. “We Are The Champions”, written by Freddie Mercury, combines a powerful piano-led arrangement with soaring vocals and a triumphant chorus, while “We Will Rock You”, written by Brian May, strips rock down to its instantly recognisable stomp, clap and vocal rhythm.

The pairing was particularly effective because the two songs naturally work together: “We Will Rock You” builds its huge communal rhythm before “We Are The Champions” delivers the victorious finale. Radio stations frequently played the two tracks consecutively, helping cement their reputation as a natural sporting and stadium soundtrack.

“We Are The Champions” became a major international hit, reaching No. 2 in the UK and No. 4 on the US Billboard Hot 100, while both songs went on to become staples of sporting events, celebrations and live performances around the world.

For Queen collectors and fans of classic rock vinyl, this 7-inch Queen single is an essential piece of the band's late-1970s catalogue. It captures Freddie Mercury, Brian May, Roger Taylor and John Deacon at one of their most anthemic, instantly recognisable moments, and remains one of the definitive Queen records to own on vinyl.
