The song is a ballad between the primary characters Aladdin and Jasmine about the new world they are going to discover together while riding on Aladdin 's magic carpet. The original version was sung by Brad Kane and Lea Salonga during the film. They also performed the song in their characters at the 65th Academy Awards, where it won Academy Award for Best Original Song as well as the first and so far only Disney song to win a Grammy Award for Song of the Year at the 36th Annual Grammy Awards. In 2014, Adam Jacobs and Courtney Reed performed the song as Aladdin and Jasmine in the film 's Broadway adaptation. A single version of the song was previously released that year and was performed by Peabo Bryson and Regina Belle. This version is played in the movie 's end credits and is referred on the soundtrack as `` Aladdin 's Theme ''. This version peaked at number one on the Billboard Hot 100 chart on March 6, 1993, replacing Whitney Houston 's `` I Will Always Love You '', which had spent a then record 14 weeks at the top of the chart. It went gold and sold 600,000 copies domestically. The track peaked at number 12 in the UK Singles Chart in 1992. The song is the first and so far only song from a Disney animated film to top the Billboard Hot 100. The single version was later included on Belle 's studio album Passion ( 1993 ) and on Bryson 's studio album Through the Fire ( 1994 ). The Latin American rendition of the song, `` Un Mundo Ideal '', by Ricardo Montaner and Michelle received airplay throughout Latin America. This rendition was later included on Montaner 's greatest hits album Éxitos y... Algo Más ( 1993 ).
