Something About the Way You Look Tonight

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

"Something About the Way You Look Tonight" was the first single from Elton John's The Big Picture. The single was released as a double A-side single with "Candle in the Wind 1997".

The video for the song featured actors and actresses from the UK Television programme This Life and is regarded as one of Elton John's best video's. John has publicly revealed (through his 'Warts and all' documentary Tantrums and Tiaras) that he finds videos f**king loathesome and after the album 'The Big Picture' refrained from appearing in his own videos unless they were cameo appearances.

[edit] Sales

In the UK only, the single sold over 4,864,600 copies (8x platinum), making the song the best-selling single ever in the history in the UK. It remained five weeks at the number one position. In the United States, the song was considered a double-A-side with "Candle in the Wind 1997" and spent fourteen weeks at number one on the Billboard Hot 100.
