Solo star Brian May from Queen reignites chart success independently
==========================================================================================
Brian May, best known for his work with the iconic band Queen, has once again made a significant impact on the U.K. music scene with his solo track, "Back to the Light." Originally released in 1992 as the title track from his debut solo album, the song has resurfaced yet again, finding a place on the Official Physical Singles chart.
The single debuted on the U.K. charts in November 1992, peaking at No. 19. In November 2021, it was made newly available to collectors, debuting at No. 2 on the Official Physical Singles chart. More recently, "Back to the Light" reentered the U.K. chart at No. 84.
"Back to the Light" is a mix of personal reflection and arena-ready rock, making it a standout track in May's catalog. The song served as a defining solo release for the guitarist, who, despite his association with Queen, also has a successful solo career.
The album Back to the Light was released during a time of transition for Queen, following the loss of frontman Freddie Mercury. Despite this, the album reached the top 10 in the U.K., showcasing May's enduring talent as a solo artist.
Over the years, "Back to the Light" has spent a total of 13 weeks on the U.K. chart across its various appearances. This includes its initial release, its recent comeback, and its new vinyl-led life. In total, it has spent a cumulative 12 weeks on the chart.
It's worth noting that "Back to the Light" is one of May's biggest wins outside of his work with Queen. The song's continued popularity is a testament to its enduring appeal and the loyalty of May's fans, who still show up to support him when his solo titles pop back into circulation.
May's work with Queen keeps him consistently on the charts in the United Kingdom, but "Back to the Light" stands as a shining example of his solo success. The song's recent return to the charts is a reminder of its power and the lasting impact it has had on the U.K. music scene.
