rank group's song No. 1

The No. 1 song, at least according to the British, in the last 60 years came, not surprisingly, from a British band.

Instead, Queen took the top spot with "Bohemian Rhapsody," followed by "Billie Jean" (Michael Jackson), "Someone Like You" (Adele) and "Don't Look Back in Anger" (Oasis, for gosh sakes, one spot ahead of the Beatles).

The rest of the top 10: "Imagine" (John Lennon), "Baby One More Time" (Britney Spears), "Dancing Queen" (Abba), "I Will Always Love You" (Whitney Houston), "Can't Get You Out Of My Head" (Kylie Minogue).
