This is like instead of giving out a flyer and explaining a bit about what it says, you just chuck them in the middle of the street and wait if someone will pick up the trash.
Lazy, stupid, uninterested, useless and uncaring.
Of course not. I'm not gonna click on every link on the internet without incentive. You really don't understand the real world do you?
This is what you get when less money goes to mental health.

Do you read what you link to before you post? Doubt it. Surprised you aren't rehashing the article, then again it's not about AL or Q+AL.
You can't even give a thought of your own about anything Queen once again.
Do you have a brain cell? Doubt it, since you never seem to use it.
So the song is 30 years old. In recent years, I've really grown to dislike the drumming on it, at least in places, it seems to be only thing that shows it's age. But I love how gritty and rocking the song is. I do wish Freddie and Queen had the chance to perform it live.
I remember back in 1989 I knew there was a new Queen single but had no way of hearing it pre release and I tuned into the chart show (by this point it wasn't a weekly ritual in our house) and the Mark Goodier previewed the chart with clips of the new entries and he said it was a return to the Queen sound of old and played a brief clip. I was so excited and told my mum 'it's a return to the Queen sound of old!'
My memory might be playing tricks but I'm sure I had wait around to hear it at it's debut chart position (5?) and without the facilities to record it soaked up every nuance of the song. I can't remember being too impressed for whatever reason, perhaps in my excitement I'd not actually been paying that much attention. A similar trick would happen once Innuendo (the song) was released 18 months later and I'd go through the same thing again - although by 1991 I wasn't all about Queen and didn't buy the single or album straight away (was saving up for the concurrent reissues of Station To Station and Young Americans)
So at the first opportunity I purchased the cassingle and the similarly unfantastic-on-first-listen Hang On In There became one of the soundtracks to my early summer. I liked the cover. Very unfussy and cool. I puzzled over the inclusion of the near identical album and single version. It was also where I first saw the title of the forthcoming album The Miracle. MIND. BLOWN. The soundtrack of the rest of the summer was set. Genuinely glorious happy days. I'm sure I'll come to that when we hit the anniversary of that.

You can't tell me that's not a very very strong chart: link
Meh LOL.
I recognize most of the artists on that chart, but not all. But damn does #49 bring me back.
I wish I was a Queen fan at the time. I wasn't, that said I really enjoy The Miracle for the most part.

Yes I read it unfortunately ...
The "article" is a brazen commercial advertisement to purchase "The Miracle".
... ‘I Want It All’ is on The Miracle, which can be bought here. ...
The article also puzzlingly states:
... ‘I Want It All’ was written by Brian May ...
However I am now staring at the liner notes of The Miracle CD that I purchased 30 years ago, and the liner notes instead say this:
... "All songs written by: Freddie Mercury - Brian May - John Deacon - Roger Taylor"
