“We Will Rock You,” a favorite of sports fans and teams for three decades, ranks as the most-played song at games of the National Football League, National Hockey League and Major League Baseball last season.
The ranking was announced today by Broadcast Music, Inc. (BMI), an organization which licenses more than half the music played in America on behalf of more than 400,000 songwriters, composers and music publishers.
“‘We Will Rock You" is not only an iconic rock anthem but the energy – the ‘stomp, stomp, clap’ – and rhythm of this song energizes fans at every event,” said BMI President and CEO Del Bryant. “A great song inspires and engages you, and this song grabs you from the first bar. It’s an anthem and rightfully deserving of this distinction in the sporting world.”
“We Will Rock You” has accumulated more than 3 million U.S. radio and TV feature performances from 1977 through the first quarter of 2009. BMI calculates that one million performances of a song (averaging three minutes in length) represents 5.7 years of continuous airplay. Using this formula, the U.S. radio and TV performances of “We Will Rock You” equal more than 18 years of continuous airplay.

We Will Rock You is set to rock on throughout 2010 with the announcement yesterday that the show's present run is to be once again extended. From yesterday, bookings will be available through to October 2010, guaranteeing the show a further year at least at the Dominion!
We Will Rock You's current audience count - with 4.6 million alone in London - now goes well beyond 10 million, figures that can only escalate with a Milan production opening December 4 and two further European productions next year.
Queen's Brian May says: "Our show has come of age...we're very proud to see We Will Rock You becoming one of London's biggest success stories."
Roger Taylor says: "Eight years and all those people, I can hardly believe it! Deep down, people just love laughter and Rock and Roll I guess. That's a good night out!"
The production today also announced an extra helping of We Will Rock You over the Christmas and New Year period with added matinees throughout the entire New Year week. Matinees will run every day Monday 28th December to Saturday 2nd January inclusive.
