It was actually mentioned in an emial I got from Queen's website:
DUE TO HUGE DEMAND QUEEN + THE MUPPETS' 'BOHEMIAN RHAPSODY' TO BE RELEASED
FOR CHRISTMAS!*
In the past week, the video for Queen + The Muppets' version of 'Bohemian
Rhapsody' has been viewed over a staggering nine and a half million on
YouTube.
The video brings together two iconic pieces of pop culture: Queen's
rock-opera classic 'Bohemian Rhapsody' and Jim Henson's inimitable Muppets.
It features all the hugely recognisable characters that defined an era of
children's television, and continue to be popular with each new generation;
Miss Piggy, Kermit The Frog, Gonzo, Animal and many more.
Seen as a contender to X Factor for the Christmas no.1 spot, bookmaker Paddy
Power said of the single:
"We've taken more bets on the Muppets to be Christmas No. 1 than anyone else
so far, but with zillions of views already on YouTube it's no surprise the
punters are getting stuck in. Imagine, the mighty X Factor toppled by the
Muppets! It's great to have a competitive Christmas no. 1 race again!"
The momentum for the video has taken on a life of its own, with The One Show
and Sky News having already shown it, plus The Sun tipping it as a Christmas
Number 1 contender.
The single will be released as a Vingle (video of the single) and audio,
both available through all Digital Service Providers.

UK Top 10 Album Chart.
*Release date TBC, but very soon! Look out for full details.
