The album produced two top-selling, award-winning singles: “Can You Feel The Love Tonight” and “Circle Of Life.” The Tony Award®-winning Broadway production of Aida earned Elton a GRAMMY Award for Best Musical Show Album. Billy Elliot was nominated for a record-tying 15 Tony Awards and won 10, including Best Musical.
