BBC greatest #1's voted by Radio 1 fans

QUEEN'S legendary Bohemian Rhapsody beat off tunes from Oasis, Kylie Minogue and Madonna to win the coveted title of the greatest No.1 ever.

BBC Radio 1 yesterday announced how Freddie Mercury's men scooped the award after weeks of fierce voting by the station's listeners.

Can't Get You Out Of My Head by Kylie and Madge's Like A Prayer were also close contenders out of the thousand No.1's since the official chart began.
