Rock Of The Westies

Elton John’s 10th studio LP was his second consecutive effort to enter the Billboard 200 Chart at No. 1, something no artist had ever done before, and his seventh US No. 1 album in a row. The track Island Girl spent three weeks at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 while the double A-side single Grow Some Funk Of Your Own b/w I Feel Like A Bullet (In The Gun Of Robert Ford) peaked at No. 14 on the same chart.
