Elton John Secures Another Success with his Oscar-Nominated Musical Partner
In under a month, musical legend Elton John could clinch his third Academy Award for Best Original Song. His nomination stems from the track "Never Too Late," featured in his self-titled documentary. If he secures this award, he'll share the spotlight with collaborators like long-time companion Bernie Taupin, producer Andrew Watt, and fellow superstar Brandi Carlile.
Post-nomination, John and Carlile shared an excellent rapport. Shortly after, they unveiled a collaborative album and unveiled their first single, "Who Believes in Angels," which gained instant success in the UK.
This smash hit debuted on two U.K. charts, claiming the top 40 spot on both. While it missed a minor gap on the Official Singles Sales chart, it stormed the Official Singles Downloads chart at No. 21.
"Who Believes in Angels" kicks off the album of the same name, which is expected to release on April 4. Produced by Andrew Watt, the LP will include John's Oscar-nominated composition.
Meanwhile, "Never Too Late" revisited the charts following the success of "Who Believes in Angels." This Oscar-contender graced both charts, landing at No. 79 on the Official Singles Downloads chart and three spots lower on the Official Single Sales chart. This is only its second appearance on either chart.
