Final Jeopardy Explanation 

“Candle in the Wind 1997” by Elton John knocked “Do They Know It’s Christmas?” by Band Aid from the top spot as the U.K.’s all-time best-selling song. Elton John’s re-written 1997 version of “Candle in the Wind,” originally released in 1973, was adapted as a tribute to Princess Diana following her death. The new lyrics and its timing led to an overwhelming sales response, making it not only the fastest-selling single in UK history but also the best-selling single in UK chart history, surpassing “Do They Know It’s Christmas?” which was released in 1984 to raise money for famine relief in Ethiopia.
