About Rocket Man (I Think It's Going to Be a Long, Long Time) Photos

"Rocket Man (I Think It's Going to Be a Long, Long Time)", is a song written by British musician Elton John and lyricist Bernie Taupin, and performed by John. It was originally released on 31 March 1972 in the US, as the lead single to John's album Honky Château. The song first charted in the UK on 22 April, rising to No. 2 in the UK singles chart and No. 6 in the US Billboard Hot 100, becoming a major hit single for John.[5] It is considered to be John's signature song.[6] On 5 April 2024, the song was certified triple platinum by the British Phonographic Industry (BPI) for sales and streams of 1,800,000 digital downloads and streaming equivalent sales. With sales of five million in the US the song was certified 5× platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA). Rolling Stone lists it at No. 149 of its 500 greatest songs of all time.[7] On 6 January 2024, Rocket Man surpassed one billion streams on Spotify.[8] The song has been covered by many artists, most notably by Kate Bush in 1991, and by Portuguese singer David Fonseca in 2007. John himself, alongside producer Pnau and singer Dua Lipa, included the song in his 2021 mashup single "Cold Heart (Pnau remix)". William Shatner's spoken-word version from 1978 has been widely parodied.
