The Miracle is the thirteenth studio album by the British rock band Queen, released on 22 May 1989 by Capitol Records in the US, it is the band's first studio album to be released by Parlophone Records in the UK. The album was recorded as the band recovered from Brian May's marital problems and Freddie Mercury's AIDS diagnosis in 1987. Recording started in January 1988 and lasted for an entire year. The album was originally going to be called The Invisible Men, but three weeks before the release, according to Roger Taylor, they decided to change the name to The Miracle. It was also the last Queen album with a band photo on the front cover.

A woman goes to a farewell party for soldiers going off to war. The next morning, she's drunk, married, and pregnant, but doesn't remember who her husband is. The incomparable Preston Sturges treads where other directors feared back in 1944 and miraculously gets away with it. Sturges milks the panic and desperation of the situation for all it's worth, turning into a fast-paced madcap comedy that's part screwball and part slapstick, with the usual Sturges undertones of social commentary. Eddie Bracken is the leading man, playing the shy straight arrow character that made him famous. Great fun.

Widely recognized as Queen’s strongest album of the 80’s and one of their most inspired, the 1989 released The Miracle was a global success reaching No. 1 in the UK and several major European markets, even re-establishing the band in the US where it delivered a gold album. Brian May has often cited the title track as his favourite Queen song of all time.
