Did you know that only one song in history has hit the number one spot at Christmas two different times? It was not a carol about snow or Santa. It was the six-minute-long rock opera Bohemian Rhapsody by the band Queen. This song first won the top spot in 1975, and then again in 1991. Mickey Callisto brought this magic back in December 2025 to honor that special record.
The performance feels like a party. Mickey stands on a stage with bright red lights, using mirrors to show different sides of himself. This trick is a smart nod to the original seventies music video, where the band members looked like they were stacked on top of each other.
The Greatest Christmas Number 1 of all time.
Fans showed so much love to Mickey over his tribute. One viewer said that this is the greatest Christmas song of all time, even without holiday words. Another person mentioned feeling Freddie Mercury’s spirit in the room. People really enjoy how Mickey keeps the old rock style alive.
That same spirit is what made the original version so famous many years ago. It is a song that almost did not happen because radio stations thought it was way too long. Freddie Mercury wrote the different parts on scraps of paper and even called it The Cowboy Song at first.

The recording process for the original track was very difficult and took three weeks. The band sang their parts over and over until the recording tape almost wore out. No computers or electronic sounds were used to create those huge vocal layers. Most people believe the lyrics are about Freddie finding his true self and dealing with big life changes.
