The Game  by Queen

At the turn of the decade, Queen released The Game in mid-1980. The Game is a very successful adaptation to the change in musical style that was coming. Many rock stars of the '70s did not achieve what Queen did with their eighth album: to maintain the style that brought them to prominence, but at the same time to take and incorporate into their musical past some of the new trends that seemed to dominate in the right proportion.

The Game was one of Queen's most commercially successful albums, and certainly, the composition by John Deacon, Another One Bites The Dust, played the biggest role, being one of the group's most popular songs. Another factor that prompted Queen to write this record was the new environment in which they found themselves recording, namely at Musicland Studios in Munich, where they collaborated with German producer Reinhold Mack. It was the first album on which a synthesizer was used, played by their German producer. This renewal felt by the members of the band was expressed in the best possible way in all the compositions of The Game.

The album reached sales of 4,000,000 copies just in the United States, where it was their only album that reached the top of the Billboard, while the same happened in their homeland and in many other countries.
