Hronologija singlova Queena

We Are the Champions je singl britanske rock grupe Queen. Tekst je napisao Freddie Mercury. Singl je izdan 7. oktobra 1977. godine i nalazi se na albumu News of the World iz 1977. godine.^[1] Iako je napisana 1975. godine, inspirisana fudbalom, nije snimljena sve do 1977. godine. Pjesma je dostigla 2. mjesto na top-listi u Velikoj Britaniji i 4. mjesto na Billboard Hot 100 top-listi najboljih pjesama u SAD-u.^[2] Postala je jedna od najpoznatijih i najizvođenijih pjesama Queena i svojevrstna himna.^[3] Pjesma se i danas izvodi na različitim sportskim događajima. Poslije izlaska pjesme, njen autor je 1978. izjavio: Mislio sam na nogomet dok sam je pisao. Pretpostavljam da pjesmu možete smatrati mojom verzijom I Did It My Way. Pjesmu su naknadno obradili mnogi muzičari.
