  2. As of today the stock appears to be rallying and now back up to $3.44 per share. I also listened to the CKX Broadcast concerning the American Idol Programme and basically it was just to reinforce how well the current season is doing and how well the current set of judges have been received, especially JLO and Steven Tyler. Brian :D

    Whilst not an Elvis themed restaurant, this one still has the name, is still open and has some great reviews: http://wwww.velvet-elvis.com Brian :D
  5. Apparently the rumour about the Concert being cancelled is a false one as it was never scheduled in the first place. Brian :D

    Just when you thought there was only one pub sign in London with Elvis on it: http://www.travelstay.com/attractions/Famo..._Hotel_List.htm Brian
  7. Please go to the following URL: http://ir.ckx.com/stockquote.cfm The Stock at CKX appears to be rapidly losing value and I just wonder what is going to happen to the Elvis World if it crashes, which looks very possible. Brian :(
  8. Ticket sales for the so-called Video Show in the US for next month have been somewhat disappointing. Due to a lack of interest, one show at the Mohegan Sun Casino has been cancelled. The concert on the 12th is still on, but the 13th has now officially been cancelled. The band then travels to NYC for the concert at Radio City Music Hall on the 15th, which should be sold out by then. Information from www.elvismatters.be Brian

  12. Please go to the following URL: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/artic...ail-Sunday.html Unusual selection for a change. Regarding the sales aspect of the 'freebie' CD's' given away in newspapers, I confirmed with Sony(UK) today and they state that they do NOT count towards Elvis' sales as they are giveaways. Personally, I think they should count but I suspect it is in the 'too difficult' tray. Each sale would have to be passed through a POS (Point Of Sale) machine and most outlets have not got them. Believe it or not, more than 1.2 Million Elvis CDs were issued with The Sunday Times June 2001 on one day! The Daily Mail sells about two million copies! So the numbers are substantial by any measure. Brian

  15. George Lucas film representative Lynn Hale told Wired.com that "he's going to digitally insert Elvis into Indy 5 along with a roster of famous dead actors." Don't know if this is true or not. Brian :D

  19. During March, 2007, music TV Channel VH1, in collaboration with the Official UK Charts Company, unveiled the 50 best selling male acts in chart history on their show 'The Nation's Favourite #1 Men'. Those eligible had to be male (solo or group) with more than one #1 single to their credit. Only single sales for artists #1 records were eligible. The King reigns, outselling all other artists to claim the coveted title of the UK's favourite having accumulated 21 #1's and selling 10,311,196 singles. Even if women were eligible then the top 3 would have remained the same. Further, whilst some of these positions may have changed, again the top 3 have not. Here is the full top 10. 1 Elvis Presley 2 The Beatles 3 Cliff Richard 4 Westlife 5 Shadows 6 Take That 7 Rolling Stones 8 Oasis 9 Elton John 10 Michael Jackson Brian
  20. Worldwide Media reports that Rihanna has tied a chart record set by Elvis after hitting the top of the pop charts in Britain again. With her hit, "What's My Name," it states Rihanna has become the first female solo artist in UK history to achieve five number one singles for five years in a row and ties with Elvis. She may have been the first female solo act to have No.1's in 5 consecutive years but has NOT equalled Elvis' record. Elvis had fourteen No.1's in 7 consecutive years (not 5 as claimed for Rihanna) as follows: 1. All Shook Up (1957) 2. Jailhouse Rock (1958) 3. One Night/I Got Stung (1959) 4. A Fool Such As I/I Need Your Love Tonight (1959) 5. It's Now Or Never (1960) 6. Are You Lonesome Tonight (1961) 7. Wooden Heart (1961) 8. Surrender (1961) 9. His Latest Flame/Little Sister (1961) 10. Rock A Hula Baby/Can't Help falling In Love (1962) 11. Good Luck Charm (1962) 12. She's Not You (1962) 13. Return To Sender (1962) 14. Devil In Disguise (1963). Just shows how the media are trying to boost other artist's careers at the expense of giving out false information. Brian
