Strangely enough, despite the other singles already released in this campaign, the news of 'Hound Dog' in the UK charts is making news. The following is merely an example:

I disagree with the comment about 'Elvis The King' as I think this is holding up extremely well and has sold more copies than '2nd To None' did in the same time span.

The single sales on the latest campaign are selling roughly a third of the original campaign. However, things have changed drastically since the last campaign. For one, most of the major supermarkets stocked 'physical' singles last time around. Since then, two majors i.e. Tesco's and Asda have stopped stocking them. In the UK there are only three places to purchase the singles: HMV; Virgin and Woolworths unless you purchase online. Further, downloads now form part of the official sales, and airplay, whilst not part of the sales contributes greatly to exposure enabling people to buy them. Since the start of the new campaign no Elvis single has been in the Top 50 Download or Airplay Charts. Little wonder then that the singles are not doing so well this time around. Still, to me, its amazing Elvis is in the charts at all. Long live THE KING.
Sales Figures for last week:
(1) 'Elvis The King' - 18,014 copies
(2) 'Hound Dog' - 9462 copies.
