The band Queen is now among the few artists to ever be recognized with the Britt Billion Award in celebration of the band’s achievement in passing one billion streams in the UK.

Brian May and Roger Taylor received their personalized trophies in the month that Queen’s self-titled debut turns 50.

May commented: “We’re grateful to all our fans that support us and continue to enjoy our music. Rock on BPI.”

Taylor added, “I would like to say thanks to everyone who has extracted a morsel of enjoyment from our music. We are still around and we hope to entertain you a little. Thank you.”

The BPI said that Queen’s most-streamed hits included “Another One Bites The Dust,” “Bohemian Rhapsody,” “Crazy Little Thing Called Love,” “Killer Queen,” “Radio Ga Ga,” “Under Pressure,” “We Are The Champions,” and “We Will Rock You,” among others.

The BRIT Billion Award recognizes the band’s streaming achievements in the UK. Earlier this week, they had five entries to reach a billion or more streams on Spotify.
