This week , Queen's "Bohemian Rhapsody" debuted at No. 12 on Billboard's Streaming Songs chart after a 261% increase in weekly streams. The jump was caused by a YouTube video from Australian comedy trio SketchShe – a sped-up version of the track recorded in their car titled "Bohemian Carsody".

The song was first released in 1975.
