The One' was Elton John's first studio album of the '90s, and saw him capitalising on the enormous success of his first major CD retrospective, 'The Very Best Of', and his first solo UK No 1, 'Sacrifice' in 1990. It was also his first album free from the addictions that had sometimes made his music seem secondary in the later '80s. As a result, it became his best-selling studio album since 'Captain Fantastic and the Brown Dirt Cowboy' in 1975. With guest appearances from Kiki Dee, Eric Clapton and David Gilmour, the album reached No 2 in the UK charts and remained in the listings for 18 weeks, thanks in part to the Top 10 single 'The One'.
