News of the World is the sixth studio album by the British rock band Queen, released on 28 October 1977 by EMI Records in the United Kingdom and by Elektra Records in the United States. News of the World was the band`s second album to be recorded at Sarm and Wessex Sound Studios in London, and engineered by Mike Stone, and was co-produced by the band and Stone.

In 1977, punk rock acts, most notably the Sex Pistols, sparked massive backlash against progressive rock artists such as Queen, to which the band responded by simplifying their symphonic rock sound and gearing towards a more spontaneous hard rock sound.[1][2] The album subsequently reached number 4 on the UK Albums Chart and number 3 on the US Top Albums chart while achieving high certifications around the world. It has sold over 4 million copies in United States.[1] Its lead single, `We Are the Champions`, reached number two on the UK Singles Chart and number four on the Billboard Hot 100. Critical reaction to News of the World was initially mixed, with many reviewers commenting on the band`s change in musical style. However, it has since come to be regarded as one of Queen`s greatest albums, while `We Are the Champions` and `We Will Rock You` have since become rock anthems.

In popular culture
The album as a whole has been released on Super Audio CD.[43] In 2012, the TV show Family Guy dedicated an episode plot line to the album cover, in which Stewie Griffin is frightened of the cover. Show creator Seth MacFarlane stated that it was based on his own fear of the cover when he was a child.[44][45][46]

Marvel paid tribute to News of the World on a variant cover of X-Men Gold #11.[47] The cover, by artist Mike del Mundo, depicts a Sentinel holding Old Man Logan and Kitty Pryde as Colossus plummets to the ground.

The giant robot from the album cover, also known as `Frank`, was used as a special effect[48] during the songs `We Will Rock You` and `Killer Queen` for the 2017–18 Queen + Adam Lambert Tour, which was in celebration of the album`s 40th anniversary.[49][50]
