In May of 2002, the Rock/Classic Rock/Top 40 hit Bohemian Rhapsody by the British rock group Queen was named favorite UK single of all time in a poll conducted by the book Guinness Hit Singles.
For the honor, it edged out Imagine by John Lennon, and also topped his former band The Beatles and their biggest hit single, Hey Jude, which placed third.
