Goodbye Yellow Brick Road is the seventh studio album by British singer, pianist and composer Elton John. A double album, it was released on 5 October 1973, by DJM Records. Recorded at the Château d'Hérouville in France, the album became a double LP once John and his band became inspired by the locale. Among the 17 tracks, the album contains the hits "Candle in the Wind", US number-one single "Bennie and the Jets", "Goodbye Yellow Brick Road", and "Saturday Night's Alright for Fighting", along with the live favourites "Funeral for a Friend/Love Lies Bleeding" and “Harmony". The album was a strong commercial success, reaching number one on the Billboard Top LPs & Tape chart, as well as also topping album charts in the UK, Australia, and Canada; it has since sold more than 20 million copies worldwide and is widely regarded as John's magnum opus. It was inducted into the Grammy Hall of Fame in 2003, and continues to be highly regarded in various rankings. It was ranked number 112 on Rolling Stone's 2020 list of the "500 Greatest Albums of All Time".
