Sir Elton John’s career-spanning greatest hits collection, Diamonds, has reached number one – after 374 weeks on the charts.
Featuring signature songs like Tiny Dancer, I’m Still Standing and Rocket Man, the 51-track collection has given the star his ninth number one album, at the age of 77.
“I’m so excited and thrilled that Diamonds is the number one album in the UK this week,” he said. “What a great start to the new year. I could not be happier.”
Originally released in 2017, Diamonds has been a permanent fixture on the charts ever since. It received a sales boost last week after being re-released as a super deluxe edition on Blu-ray, cassette and diamond-effect vinyl.
