Alongside Elvis Presley,Elton John has the distinction of reaching the top forty for the most consecutive years-Elvis' streak started in 1956 & ended in 1977-That's 21 years-Elton actually bested Elvis-His streak began in late 1970 & ended in 1999-That's almost thirty years.

After an absence of 22 years,Elton returned to the top forty in 2021 with "Cold Heart",which was a duet with Dua Lipa-That song is currently spending a 7th week at # 1 on the Mediabase AC chart.

Yeah cool tune. Nice to see Sacrifice and Kiss The Bride getting some love. He won't play them in concert any longer  |

"Someone Saved My Life Tonight" was the only single to be released from the "Captain Fantastic" album-It peaked at # 4 in the summer of 1975-"Rock Of The Westies" generated two top forty hits "Island Girl" which went to # 1 & "Grow Some Funk Of Your Own"-The flip side of "Grow Some Funk" was "I Feel Like A Bullet (In The Gun Of Robert Ford)" which recieved a smattering of airplay.

I just heard a few days ago that Elton has teamed up with Britney Spears to do a remake of his 1972 classic "Tiny Dancer"-It's due to come out in August.
