Posted August 19, 200717 yr Elvis's latest album tops the UK chart again. Looks like there is still a market out there for his music. I thought I would list all his chart albums in the UK, showing date of release, weeks in chart and peak position.

August 19, 200717 yr Author Elvis is also back on the singles chart for the first time since Way Down concluded his run of number one reissues in April 2005. He storms to a number 11 debut with 1969’s Suspicious Minds, which fares even better on the 12-inch chart, where it debuts at number one, even though it doesn’t exist. That’s because it is actually a 10-inch single, and as these are comparatively rare, they are given honorary 12-inch status. Suspicious Minds sold 2,037 copies on 10-inch last week. :cheer: Already the solo artist with most number one albums, Elvis Presley clocks up his 11th with The King, which debuts in pole position on sales of 45,034. The album, issued to commemorate the 30th anniversary of his death, is Presley’s third posthumous number one, and extends his span of number one albums since his first chart-topper, Rock ‘n’ Roll in November 1956, to more than 50 years, the longest of any artist. Presley’s 1969 number two hit, Suspicious Minds – kept off the top by Clive Dunn’s Grandad - has also been reissued, and debuts at number 11 on sales of 10,440. Although it’s 30 years since Presley’s death, he remains a major artist, and has sold more than 5m albums already this century, with annual sales totals of 796,257 (2000), 576,478 (2001), 1,174,470 (2002), 734,116 (2003), 431,805 (2004), 764,599 (2005), 344,047 (2006) and 324,188 so far in 2007 adding up to a grand total of 5,145,960.

October 30, 200717 yr Elvis #1 on US pop chart history book: The slogan of Joel Whitburn's remarkable book company, Record Research, is "For Anyone With a Heart for the Charts," and his dozens of volumes over nearly four decades have lived up to that boast. The latest update of the "Top Pop Singles" series is a treasure chest of information about pop music. The heart of the book is an exhaustive listing of every recording to make Billboard magazine's weekly Hot 100 lists since 1955, including the number of weeks it stayed on the charts and the highest position it achieved. http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y48/elvis1959/book_topopsingles_whitburn_2006.jpg If you want to know about, say, Prince's singles history, "Top Pop Singles" tells you that 51 of his recordings have made the chart, from "Soft and Wet" (No. 92 in 1978) through "Black Sweat" (No. 60 in 2006). Whitburn also helps us measure the relative impact of artists from different eras by ranking the most successful by decade as well as those with the most Top 100 singles (Elvis Presley, 151), the most Top 40 hits (Elvis, 104), the most No. 1 hits (the Beatles, 20) and so on. Rather than simply update the figures every few years in new volumes of "Top Pop Singles," the Wisconsin publisher is such an obsessed fan that he keeps adding new elements. This time he borrows a page from baseball batting averages and assigns a "hit average" to recording artists. Another pop book of special interest is "Lyrics by Sting." Rather than just provide words to his songs, Sting offers frequently engaging thoughts about many of them. Joel Whitburn, "Top Pop Singles 1955-2006" (Record Research, $79.95) The back story: The funny thing about Whitburn is that his readers are probably just as obsessed as he is, so they'll be intrigued by his new Top Pop Hit Average rankings. But they also may be quick to offer suggestions to refine the approach. The idea was is to find how high on the charts an artist's average pop hit went. If, for instance, an artist had 10 singles and they all went to No. 1, the artist's Pop Hit Average would be 1 -- the best possible score. And who came up with the best pop hit average among artists with at least 20 pop hits? Three Dog Night, with a hit average of 12, and that's why there will no doubt be outcries. Three Dog Night, a fairly pedestrian hit machine in the late '60s and early '70s did well in Whitburn's formula because the trio had a relatively short chart life: just 21 singles in six years. If you took the best six years of the Beatles, Elvis or other key artists, they would probably blow away Three Dog Night. Meanwhile, Whitburn considers the book's Top 500 Artists chart the most prestigious because it is so comprehensive. For the list, Whitburn awards an artist points for every record that makes the Billboard chart, with bonus points for each week the single stays on the chart and for how high on the chart it climbs. Elvis Presley (9,406 points) remains the runaway leader, but the Beatles (5,360) could soon lose their second spot to Elton John (5,045). Just behind them is Madonna (4,749) and Mariah Carey (4,295), who jumps from No. 14 in the 2002 edition to No. 5 in this one. (News, Source: Robert Hilburn, LA Times)
December 30, 200717 yr Thanks, Brian, that's fantastic :cheer: And talking of sales and records, I see that Madonna is aiming to beat Elvis' record of the most UK No1 hits. ;) In her dreams :yahoo: http://www.thesun.co.uk/sol/homepage/showb...ticle619156.ece
January 14, 200817 yr UK Year-end Charts 2007 is over, time to look back at Elvis' UK chart success. On the 2007 Bestselling UK Album Artists Elvis is the #10 best selling artist in the UK. On the singles chart Elvis ranks at #27 with sales of 328,373 singles. If there would have been a chart on most singles on the chart in one year Elvis would probably have topped that with 18 entries. On the DVD chart Elvis is listed at #21 with the "Comeback Special" DVD and #27 with "The King Of Rock And Roll" compilation DVD.

Amazing really, especially when you consider that Sony BMG pulled the plug on this one and deleted it early. Thanks to Brian Quinn for the info Fantastic news Elvis is still showing them all how it's done :yahoo:
July 28, 200816 yr As posted by Brian Quinn on Elvis 18s B) The Top 3 UK Album Acts as of 27th July, 2008 (according to my calculations) are as follows (Top 75 Only): 1. Queen - 1378 weeks 2. Elvis Presley - 1322 weeks 3. The Beatles - 1311 weeks. As can be seen, Queen have a big lead and keep bringing out new albums. However, in the next year Elvis will have 2 'Duets' albums released - one with Xmas songs for 2008 and one general one for 2009.Elvis also has a new Album out on 4th August 'The Complete 68 Comeback Special' Box Set' which should see some chart action although retailing at over £24 I suspect it will be at the lower end of the album chart.
August 22, 200816 yr Thanks to Brian Quinn for this news The following is posted in Fred Bronson's latest 'Chart Beat' column of 'Billboard' Magazine: ANNUAL EVENT: "Playlist: The Very Best of Elvis Presley" (RCA/Legacy) enters The Billboard 200 at No. 188, the second Presley album to bow on this chart in 2008. This is the 15th Elvis album to debut this millennium, and this is the fifth year of this century that more than one of the King's albums have entered the chart in the same year. Presley had multiple debuts in 2002 (three), 2003 (two), 2005 (two) and 2007 (three). and more news.........
