What song from Elvis is #1?
Music Week
Presley and U2 fight for number one spot
08 February 2005 - 10:41:50
Wooden Heart, the seventh of RCA’s Elvis Presley reissues, has got off to a strong start since its release yesterday, according to early retail reports.
His recent chart fortunes, however, hint that the Presley reissues perform better at the start of the week due to hardcore fans snapping up copies, so U2’s Sometimes You Can’t Make It On Your Own (Island) could trigger a turnabout at the summit by the final chart’s announcement on Sunday.
Elsewhere in the singles market, Doves’ Black & White Town (Heavenly) looks set to debut within the Top 5, with Destiny’s Child (Columbia), Raghav (V2) and Noise Next Door (Us & Them) making a showing within the Top 10.
Duke Spirit look set to make an impressive debut in the top 15 with Lion Rip (Loog), while faring less impressively is Daniel Bedingfield, whose Wrap My Words Around You (Polydor) will have to fight to secure a top 20 placing.
Athlete lead the way in a largely unchanged albums market, with The Killers (Lizard King), Michael Buble (Reprise), Scissor Sisters (Polydor) and Green Day (Reprise) jostling for positions within the Top 5. The only likely new entries within the Top 75 are expected to be Hanson’s Underneath (Cooking Vinyl) and Michael McDonald’s Motown II (Mercury).
Summary:
01 Elvis Presley (13,000)
02 U2 (9,000)

So lame that Elvis keeps getting #1s........nobody should have more than The Beatles, but it looks like he has a highly devoted fanbase in the UK....

Is there a "midweek update" for the singles charts in UK? Any new information?

the idea of Evis's record company re-releasing all of his old songs just to make a bit more money for themselves and stop great songs like Sometimes... not getting to number one is disgraceful.

Let's hope the (late-released) video gets a few plays before Sunday then. TOTPs unlikely, but CDUK a possibility-as CDUK will have there chart tomorrow, but may play the studio performance.
I bought a copy yesterday - every little bit helps
