"Breakthru" is a song by the British rock band Queen. Written by Freddie Mercury and Roger Taylor[citation needed] but credited to Queen, it was released in June 1989 from the album The Miracle. The single reached number seven in the UK, and peaked at number 6 in the Netherlands and Ireland, but failed to chart in the US. The song is notable for its video where the group is performing the song on an open platform of a fast-moving steam train.
