The Game: Album Guide, Artist and Facts
The Game — album guide with key facts, artist and background.
The Game is the eighth studio album by the British rock band Queen. It was released on 30 June 1980 by EMI Records in the UK and by Elektra Records in the United States. The album is the first by Queen to feature a synthesizer, specifically the Oberheim OB-X. The Game features a different, more pop-oriented sound compared to its predecessor, Jazz (1978). As a result of this stylistic shift, it became the only Queen album to reach number one in the US Billboard 200, and it remains their best-selling studio album in the United States, with four million copies sold. Songs on the album include the rockabilly tribute "Crazy Little Thing Called Love", which became the band's first number-one single on the Billboard Hot 100, and the funk-inspired "Another One Bites the Dust", which was their second and final US number-one hit. The album was reissued in May 2003 on DVD-Audio with Dolby 5.1 surround sound and DTS 5.1.
