"The Lion King", became the 3rd highest-grossing animated feature of all time and received positive reviews from critics, who praised the film for its music and story. Three of the five nominees for the Academy Award for Best Song that year were from The Lion King; "Can You Feel the Love Tonight" eventually won. In versions sung by John, both that and "Circle of Life" became big hits. "Can You Feel the Love Tonight" would also win John the Grammy Award for Best Male Pop Vocal Performance. Songs were written by composer Elton John and lyricist Tim Rice, with an original score by Hans Zimmer.
After the release of the soundtrack, the album remained at the top of Billboard's charts for nine weeks. On 10 November 1999, the RIAA certified The Lion King "Diamond" for selling 15 million copies. A musical film, The Lion King garnered two Academy Awards for its achievement in music and the Golden Globe Award for Best Motion Picture - Musical or Comedy.
