The One was Elton John's first studio album of the 1990s, following on from the enormous success of his first major CD retrospective The Very Best Of and his first UK solo number one single Sacrifice from 1990. It was also his first album free of the dependencies that 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. Featuring guest appearances from Kiki Dee, Eric Clapton and David Gilmour, the album reached number 2 in the British charts and stayed there for 18 weeks, thanks in part to the top 10 single The One.
