Elton John and Brandi Carlile's 'Who Believes in Angels?' Tops Charts

Why This Matters: This achievement underscores Elton John's continued relevance and ability to create impactful new music, even late in his illustrious career. It highlights the enduring appeal of collaborations and the blending of different musical styles.

Elton John's 'Who Believes in Angels?' represents a unique achievement in his extensive discography. While his compilation album 'Diamonds' previously topped the rock charts, this new collaboration with Brandi Carlile showcases fresh material resonating with audiences. The album's success across multiple Billboard charts demonstrates its broad appeal, capturing both rock and general listeners. This collaboration arrives late in a career that spans more than half a century, and it is something else entirely.
