"Another One Bites the Dust" is a 1980 rock song from the English rock band Queen. It was written by bassist John Deacon and was a worldwide crossover hit (hitting number one on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100, hitting #1 on both the U.S. R&B charts, and the Disco Top 100). Ironically, it was successful on the R&B charts because some fans thought Queen was an R&B group.
