re: Why did Queen decline in popularity in the US during the 80s?

"i want to break free" didn't exactly help, true. but at that point, since "radio ga ga" didn't light up the charts in the US (not like they'd hoped, anyway), i think that video was intended to be a big flip of the bird to the US audience anyway....it's almost like they figured if they were gonna go down, they might as well go down in flames, lol...
