A Kind Of Magic 1986 saw the release of Queen’s twelfth studio album A Kind Of Magic. The album featured a number of hit singles including One Vision, A Kind Of Magic and the haunting Who Wants To Live Forever. It was the band’s twelfth studio album and their first to be recorded digitally, and is based on the soundtrack to the film Highlander, the first in a series directed by Russell Mulcahy. A Kind of Magic spent sixty-three weeks in the UK chart and spawed three hit singles. It is Queen’s first album with a title track, and every album released thereafter also contained one. It has, in recent years, been cited by music publications and fans as one of Queen’s best records of the 1980s.
