The album that features “Another One Bites the Dust” is The Game. Queen released the album in 1980, and the song appears among its original studio tracks.
The Game was Queen’s eighth studio album and marked a major shift in the band’s sound. Alongside hard rock, it embraced funk, disco, pop, and rockabilly influences. “Another One Bites the Dust,” written by bassist John Deacon, became one of the album’s defining tracks. The record also included “Crazy Little Thing Called Love,” which became Queen’s first US number-one single.
Readers sometimes choose A Night at the Opera because it contains “Bohemian Rhapsody,” or News of the World because it includes “We Will Rock You” and “We Are the Champions.” Jazz is another plausible distraction because it is a Queen album from the same era, released in 1978. The Game stands apart in Queen’s catalogue because it was the band’s only album to reach number one on the US Billboard 200. It was released in the United Kingdom on 30 June 1980.
