Welcom To The Discography of Elton John!!
In 1970, the 2nd Elton John album came out and the single "Your Song" became Elton John's first hit single. Since then, Elton has had a top 40 hit single for the last 29 years. The only person that comes close is Elvis comming in at 23 years in the charts. Below is a list of albums, year of release, chart position, weeks in the the charts and it's most well known song. I would like to give a big thanks to for her help.
