Revision[edit]

Revised the article. I left the singles in the article but deleted the chart positions. They seem excessive and do not really belong in a discography. Think it looks a lot better this way. -cuervo7

Thanks for helping with this page. I tried...but knew I didn't do as good a job as needed to be done. It's much eaier to read now...so, again, thanks. --Octopusouphut 23:13, 19 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

12/28 edit[edit]

Hmmm...seems like the article went from readable to a totel mess again. In my opinion a proper discography should make a distinction between 'normal' albums and compilations. Also I believe that chart positions should not be listed in a discography. All those number signs (#) don't help with the readability. Since I don't feel like editing the article again at this point and don't want to start some kind of edit-war, I'll just put up a clean-up notice. --cuervo7

What the hell. Just reverted it to what I think was the best version. --cuervo7

Alternate Titles[edit]

The album "Here and There" has at least two alternate titles: "Here and Now" and "London & New York". The "London & New York" release has a slightly different song order. Anyway, I put a note with the other titles on the album page and wondered if anyone had an opinion about putting the titles in this list as well. - David

Other songs he wrote[edit]

Is there a separate list of songs that he wrote for other people? I mean those that he didn't sing himself, if any. Kowloonese 18:40, 22 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Chart positions in discographies[edit]

I disagree with the above positions. Most Wikipedia discographies do have chart positions and/or sales figures, e.g. The Beatles discography, The Rolling Stones discography, Mariah Carey discography just to name a few. It's valuable, factual information about record releases, and helps to illustrate the arc of an artist's career. Wasted Time R 20:15, 1 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

SACD Titles[edit]

In 2006, several Elton John albums were re-mixed into surround sound and released on SACD format. I believe the titles that have been re-issued in this format should be noted in the discography. - IanM.

Worldwide sales figures[edit]

Where do all these worldwide sales figures come from? There are no citations for any of them. Since there is no organization that tracks worldwide sales, these figures are particularly fishy. 74.73.110.46 (talk) 09:58, 9 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Border Song[edit]

Why isn't Border Song listed? I thought that was a single. 24.191.186.13 (talk) 01:25, 15 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Additional sections?[edit]

Should Elton's other appearances and duets/collaborations be added to this page, similar to the Paul McCartney discography? GoingBatty (talk) 19:17, 30 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Another single forgotten![edit]

Well, Elton John sung at the end of the year 1980 with the french woman singer France Gall, this duet made a EP called "donner pour donner", it was with the composer and producer Michel Berger and Bernie Taupin, I guess, this single became a huge hit in the french charts in early 1981.

Love Song w/ Lesley Duncan (Live) 1976[edit]

This charted on the US AC chart at #18. Look it up. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.28.249.76 (talk) 14:36, 22 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Spirit In The Sky - Rare Sessions 1969-70[edit]

Why does this article exist?[edit]

Hi Wikipedians,

I do not understand why this article exists, because Elton John albums discography and Elton John singles discography already covers what is in this article anyway. What do you think? When editors have provided their comments, if they are mostly in favour, I will propose to delete it. I know this is the odd way to go about it. SethWhales talk 15:52, 23 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
