What is the name of the album that features the song "Killer Queen"?

The story behind the answer

The song “Killer Queen” appears on Queen’s 1974 album Sheer Heart Attack.

“Killer Queen” was written by Freddie Mercury and became Queen’s first major international hit. It was recorded for the band’s third studio album, which was released in November 1974. The song’s polished blend of rock, music hall, layered harmonies and piano-led sophistication helped establish the classic Queen sound.

The track was released as a single before the album and reached No. 2 on the UK Singles Chart. In the United States, it became Queen’s first Billboard Hot 100 hit, peaking at No. 12. Its lyrics portray an elegant, high-class courtesan, a subject Mercury presented with theatrical detail and wit.

A common mix-up is A Night at the Opera, the 1975 album that followed Sheer Heart Attack and contained “Bohemian Rhapsody.” “The Game” and Jazz are also Queen albums, but neither includes “Killer Queen.”
