Elton John topped the Billboard 200 Album chart with his fifth studio album, Honky Château.
The album, named after Château d'Hérouville, the 18th century French chateau where it was recorded, was Elton’s first #1 album, spending five weeks on top the chart.
Honky Château featured future Elton classics "Rocket Man" and "Honky Cat," which were both top 10 hits.
The album was the first of seven consecutive #1 albums from Elton, his last being Captain Fantastic and the Brown Dirt Cowboy in 1975.
