After attending a Queen concert in Los Angeles, Michael Jackson suggested to Freddie Mercury backstage that "Another One Bites the Dust" be released as a single.
The music video for "Another One Bites the Dust" was filmed at Reunion Arena in Dallas, Texas.
The song was a worldwide hit, charting number one on the US Billboard Hot 100 for three weeks.
The song spent fifteen weeks in the Billboard top ten (the longest running top ten song of 1980), including thirteen weeks in the top five, and 31 weeks total on the chart (more than any other song in 1980).
It reached number two on the Hot Soul Singles chart and the Disco Top 100 chart, and number seven on the UK Singles Chart.
