Posted January 1Jan 1 BBC Radio 2 listeners were asked to choose between classics such as “Always On My Mind”, “Can’t Help Falling in Love” and “Suspicious Minds” as they voted for the UK’s favourite Elvis Presley song. The station asked fans to choose Your Ultimate Elvis Song to compile a chart of the 40 most popular singles by the King of Rock and Roll, which led to more than 100,000 votes being cast. The results landed on what would have been his 90th birthday, on 8 January 2025, revealing that Presley’s hit single “Suspicious Minds” had come out on top. The top 10 favourite Elvis singles as voted for by Radio 2 listeners were: 1. “Suspicious Minds” 2. “In The Ghetto” 3. “If I Can Dream” 4. “Always On My Mind” 5. “Can’t Help Falling In Love” 6. “The Wonder Of You” 7. “An American Trilogy” 8. “Burning Love” 9. “I Just Can’t Help Believin’” 10. “Jailhouse Rock” Hosted by Vernon Kay, Your Ultimate Elvis Song will count down the top 40 chart and feature words from Priscilla Presley, Elvis’s ex-wife. Your Ultimate Elvis Song will air on BBC Radio 2 from 3pm to 5pm and on BBC Sounds on New Year’s Day, and will feature BBC Archive interview clips with Elvis.

January 1Jan 1 Great #1. I'm glad 'That's All Right' was remembered, but that and especially 'Heartbreak Hotel' are too low for my liking.
