It was reissued on audio CD in 1990. The lead-off single of Bob Dylan's "Blowin' in the Wind" sold a phenomenal three hundred thousand copies in the first week of release. On July 13, 1963, it reached number two on the "Billboard" pop chart, with sales exceeding one million copies. It spent five weeks atop the easy listening chart.
Candle in the Wind 1997 In the U.S., the solo #1 single broke Elton John's "Kiki jinx." After five number-one solo hits in America in the 1970s, John hit #1 in a duet with Kiki Dee with 1976's "Don't Go Breaking My Heart". From then until "Candle in the Wind 1997", John did not record a number-one single by himself and only had two chart toppers altogether. The first of those was 1986's "That's What Friends Are For", where he joined forces with Dionne Warwick, Gladys Knight, and Stevie Wonder to form a quartet known as Dionne & Friends which helped raise money for AIDS
