Question: Who wrote the music for Billy Elliot the Musical and had at least one song on the "Billboard" Hot 100 for 31 consecutive years?

<P0-S0> Sir Elton Hercules John, (born Reginald Kenneth Dwight; 25 March 1947), is an English singer, pianist, and composer. <P0-S1>  He has worked with lyricist Bernie Taupin as his songwriting partner since 1967; they have collaborated on more than 30 albums to date. <P0-S2>  In his five-decade career Elton John has sold more than 300million records, making him one of the best-selling music artists in the world. <P0-S3>  He has more than fifty Top 40 hits, including seven consecutive No. 1 US albums, 58 "Billboard" Top 40 singles, 27 Top 10, four No. 2 and nine No. 1. <P0-S4>  For 31 consecutive years (1970–2000) he had at least one song in the "Billboard" Hot 100. <P0-S5>  His tribute single, re-penned in dedication to the late Princess Diana, "Candle in the Wind 1997" sold over 33million copies worldwide and is the best-selling single in the history of the UK and US singles charts. <P0-S6>  He has also composed music, produced records, and has occasionally acted in films. <P0-S7>  John owned Watford Football Club from 1976 to 1987, and 1997 to 2002. <P0-S8>  He is an honorary Life President of the club, and in 2014 had a stand named after him at the club's home stadium. <SEP> <P1-S0> "Allentown" is a song by American singer Billy Joel, which was the lead track on Joel's "The Nylon Curtain" (1982) album, accompanied by a conceptual music video. <P1-S1>  "Allentown" reached #17 on the "Billboard" Hot 100, spending six consecutive weeks at that position and certified gold. <P1-S2>  Despite the song placing no higher than #17 on the weekly Billboard Hot 100 chart, it was popular enough to be placed at #43 on the Billboard year-end Hot 100 chart for 1983. <SEP> <P2-S0> Billy Elliot the Musical is a musical based on the 2000 film "Billy Elliot". <P2-S1>  The music is by Elton John, and the book and lyrics are by Lee Hall, who wrote the film's screenplay. <P2-S2>  The plot revolves around Billy, a British motherless boy who trades boxing gloves for ballet shoes. <P2-S3>  The story of his personal struggle and fulfillment are balanced against a counter-story of family and community strife caused by the 1984–85 UK miners' strike in County Durham, in North Eastern England. <P2-S4>  Hall's screenplay was inspired in part by A. J. Cronin's 1935 novel about a miners' strike, "The Stars Look Down", to which the musical's opening song pays homage. <SEP> <P3-S0> "You Keep Me Hangin' On" is a 1966 song written and composed by Holland–Dozier–Holland. <P3-S1>  It first became a popular "Billboard" Hot 100 number one hit for the American Motown group The Supremes in late 1966. <P3-S2>  The rock band Vanilla Fudge covered the song a year later and had a top ten hit with their version. <P3-S3>  British pop singer Kim Wilde covered "You Keep Me Hangin' On" in 1986, bumping it back to number one on the "Billboard" Hot 100 in June 1987. <P3-S4>  The single reached number one by two different musical acts in America. <P3-S5>  In the first 32 years of the "Billboard" Hot 100 rock era, “You Keep Me Hangin' On” became one of only six songs to achieve this feat. <P3-S6>  In 1996, country music singer Reba McEntire's version reached number 2 on the US "Billboard" Hot Dance Club Play chart.
