ELTON'S DIAMONDS HITS U.K.TOP SPOT

1/10/25

Diamonds has been a touchstone in Elton John’s storied career, but it’s never reached the #1 spot on the chart until now.

The Universal Music/Island/EMI set was initially issued in November of 2017, initially debuted at #5 on the British chart. Diamonds has been a staple in the top ten since its initial release, but didn’t hit the pinnacle until now. The album has achieved 1.67m total U.K. sales, including 362k physical copies, 57k downloads and 1.29 sales-equivalent streams according to the Official Charts Company.

Rocket Entertainment CEO David Furnish said, “We are so proud to see Diamonds finally get to #1 eight years after its release. Diamonds has been an omnipresent beacon in the charts over that time and all of Elton's other activities feed into its success"

Rocket’s Rachael Paley added, “Elton has an unmatched ability to connect with fans old and new, and he's always thrilled to know that people are continuing to discover his catalogue through Diamonds.”

Louis Bloom, president Island EMI, concluded, “Elton is one of the most iconic artists in the history of popular music and it’s really no surprise that decades into his incredible career, Diamonds has given him his ninth No.1 album. Elton’s music, philanthropy, activism and his incredible support for new artists, is unparalleled and he continues to be an inspiration to us all. "
