DIAMONDS was released in 2017 but had its best year-end chart positions in 2019. The combination of having the feature film "Rocketman" being released along with the FAREWELL YELLOW BRICK ROAD tour certainly helped propel the album to its best sales in 2019:
New Zealand: #9 album of the year
Australia: #14
UK: #15
Ireland: #20
Canada: #24
USA: #34

Also, Ireland added to the list at: #20
Also, the ROCKETMAN soundtrack came in at #66 on Australia's Top 100 Albums of 2019.

RE: DIAMONDS year-end chart position for 2020 on the US Rock Albums Chart...
Yes, it is impressive to see EJ at #2. The #1 album for 2020 is Queen's GREATEST HITS and #3 is Fleetwood Mac's RUMOURS album.

DIAMONDS: Year-end 2020:
The UK Top 100 Year-End Album chart for 2020 has placed DIAMONDS at an amazing chart position of #9. The ninth highest charting album for the entire year.
This is the best position for the album in the UK since its 2017 release.

Nice to see such staying power for an Elton John disc, and the movie and book certainly helped, as both did very well in their respective fields as well.

DIAMONDS: Year-end 2020:
Australia finally posted its year-end Top 100 Albums of 2020 and DIAMONDS came in at #8 which is 6 spots higher than 2019 and it is the highest year-end final position that DIAMONDS has achieved in Australia.
On the Australian year-end Top 50 Catalogue Albums chart it was #1. Yep, #1. It beat out Ed Sheeran's DIVIDE #2 and Fleetwood Mac's RUMOURS #4 this year. GOODBYE YELLOW BRICK ROAD came in at #48 on the Top 50 Catalogue Albums chart as well.
Impressive.
