Elton John’s 1985 LP reunited him with producer Gus Dudgeon, who helmed many of his 1970s hit singles and albums. The album features fellow superstar George Michael on two tracks: Wrap Her Up and Nikita, which went on to be the album's biggest hit, reaching No. 3 in Australia, the UK Singles Chart, and the Billboard Adult Contemporary chart, as well as No. 7 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart. In the UK, the album peaked at No. 3.
