Elton John Manages A Career-First Milestone
Elton John's Diamonds hits 400 weeks on the Official Albums chart, solidifying its status as his ... More longest-charting title in the U.K. STOCKHOLM, SWEDEN - JULY 02: Elton John performs on stage at the Grona Lund amusement park on July 2, 2017 in Stockholm, Sweden. (Photo by MICHAEL CAMPANELLA/Redferns) Looking at Elton John's expansive discography, one title stands out as his most successful in many regards in the United Kingdom, and it's Diamonds. One of several compilations produced by the piano-playing icon, the collection has become a go-to for millions of listeners worldwide, as it gathers many of his most popular songs. It's the title fans continue to flock to on streaming platforms and purchase from download storefronts like iTunes. While one greatest hits set is typically enough for the general public, Diamonds is not one of John's older releases. It's not even a decade old, and yet, it has easily become his longest-charting album in his home country, and this week, the set reaches a major milestone. Diamonds Hits 400 Weeks on the Official Albums Chart The compilation has now spent 400 weeks on the Official Albums chart, as of this frame. That list ranks the most consumed projects in the U.K., regardless of genre, length, or format. As it reaches the impressive milestone, Diamonds climbs one space to settle at No. 16. Diamonds Shines Bright on the Streaming Ranking The same compilation also appears on the Official Albums Streaming chart, where it performs even better than on the main albums tally. On the list of the most-streamed collections in the U.K., Diamonds jumps from No. 13 to No. 10, returning to the highest tier once again. The compilation has now spent 400 weeks on both the Official Albums chart and the Official Albums Streaming list, and it has reached No. 1 on both of them. A Slow Burn to the Top Diamonds debuted at No. 5 on the Official Albums chart in November 2017. Somewhat shockingly, it didn't climb to No. 1 until January of this year, just before John scored another new leader alongside Brandi Carlile with his new set Who Believes in Angels? It first became the most-streamed title in the U.K. in the summer of 2023, almost exactly two years ago. The compilation has also spent just one week at No. 1 on several other U.K.-based rankings, including the Official Albums Sales, Official Album Downloads, Official Physical Albums, and Official Vinyl Albums tallies. Elton John's Longest-Charting Albums Only two other albums by John have reached triple-digit weeks on the Official Albums chart. Another compilation, The Very Best of Elton John, managed exactly two full years — 104 frames – while Goodbye Yellow Brick Road trails slightly, with 102.
