Every Queen Album Closing Song Ranked From Worst To Best

5. Under Pressure - Hot Space

Hot Space is a bizarre album.

Queen's supposed take on disco features a variety of songs, from the operatic Las Palabras de Amor to the minimalist Cool Cat to the melancholy Life is Real (Song for Lennon).

And then, right at the end, is one of the biggest songs Queen ever did.

Under Pressure, the band's much-loved collaboration with David Bowie, snuck into this collection, even though it was released as its lead single.

The song is so famous that it really doesn't need describing; it's got over 227 million views on YouTube, 1.3 billion streams on Spotify, and will live on forever as the basis for Vanilla Ice's greatest contribution to popular culture.

It's a little overplayed, which is a shame, but there's still a lot of joy to be taken from clicking those fingers.
