‘We Are The Champions’ is one of Queen’s most popular songs – it reached number two in the UK singles charts and number four on the Billboard Hot 100 in the US.
In 2011, a team of scientists decided that the song was the catchiest in the history of pop music.
Dr. Daniel Mullensiefen said: “Every musical hit is reliant on maths, science, engineering, and technology; from the physics and frequencies of sound that determines pitch and harmony to the hi-tech digital processors and synthesizers which can add effects to make a song catchier.
“We discovered that there’s a science behind the sing-along and a special combination of neuroscience, maths and cognitive psychology that can produce the elusive elixir of the perfect sing-along song.”
