Song Title

What was Elton Johns first number one single?

Don't Go Breaking My Heart (with Kiki Dee) - 1976 Sacrifice - solo - 1990/91?

[sft42]

His only solo chart No1 has been the re-issue of Sacrifice in June 1990, having been released earlier the previous year.

This excludes the drivel that was the candle in the wind 1997 version which only got there due to mass delusion.

Dont go breaking my heart (with Kiki Dee) 1976 Sacrifice / Healing Hands 1990, both songs released in 1989, neither even reached the Top 40. Dont let the sun go down on me (Live) supporting George Michael in 1991. Candle in the wind (1997) / Something about the way you look tonight. (Princess Diana tribute) Sorry seems to be the hardest word - guest vocals on the Blue single. 2002 Are you ready for love 2003, originally released in 1979 and failed to reach the Top40. All his N01s have been either live, re-recordings, re-issues or duets. He has never had a UK No1 with a conventional new release as a solo act.

Keith Richards would have agreed with sft42. After the re-release of Candle in the Wind he said EJ was best known for "writing songs for dead blondes". Mind you, in response EJ described Keith Richards as a "monkey with arthritis". doesn't answer your question but made me smile
