Queen song Bohemian Rhapsody is continuing to break records 44 years after it was first released.

It has become the oldest video to reach a billion views on YouTube.

It's the first music video released in the 1970s, or any year before the 1990s, to reach the milestone.

But who else has been breaking streaming records online?
