I guess we were writing our threads at the same timeIt is really cool news. Such a pleasure to hear the DJ on Radio One say those words, considering they have a policy of not playing old music

Elvis has now officially secured his 19th UK No.1!
This is a phenomenal achievement.

You can tune into the Top 40 Chart Show from the BBC online, anytime! Just by selecting it from the top of this page to listen online...

Elvis' new No.1 comes in at around 2:51:00 on the BBC Radio Player for the Official Top 40 Chart Show.
The DJ even mentions that Elvis, could knock himself off No.1 next week with One Night, and therefore take the 1,000th UK No.1!
Also!!!
The BBC are holding a poll for the greatest UK No.1 of all time! Elvis is there - with a whopping 19 UK No.1's - now two clear of his nearest rivals the Beatles on 17.

Lets show that not only does Elvis have the greatest Number of UK No.1's but also the best liked!

This is great news! I wish we could witness Elvis at number one on the Hot 100 airplay and sales chart here in the states. Our charts have gone to pot. Can't tell the Rap/hip hop chart from the Pop/Rock/Hot 100 chart. Kudos to the recorded legacy of Elvis....may he have even more #1's.
Unbelievable!
Happy 70th Elvis - This truly is especially for you!
That's is great news for Elvis indeed and even for fans in the uk.
but i would like to know on how they put this on a Elvis #1 album next time when the do a nother album like the #1 hits.
well they put Jailhouse Rock on there 2 time's in a row or they will have to put a live version or an out-take version.lol
but anyway it is good to hear that Elvis is still getting fans.

What a phenomenal achievement!
Here's to Elvis' unending reign!
...you won't forget me when I go.
Great news.
A few more number 1's from this set would be nice!
I'm not greedy, really!!!!
YES he did it again
without a song, a man ain't got a friend,
without a song, the road would never bend,
without a song, so I'll keep singing the song.

One of the best things about this is that it dispels the notion that Elvis' music can only enjoy success on today's charts in remixed form--not so!
Elvis is timeless!
...you won't forget me when I go.
Well done to all the uk fans for getting the king to number one again
Its great that he's number one!
But...
He got to number one, with record sales of about 10,500. Which in comparison to when he was alive, he would generally need a million seller. The charts though have changed, and I'm just delighted that Elvis has topped them, and that the UK charts have not gone down the same ridiculous route as the American charts, where a number one is determined by sales and airplay! In essence America is trusting musical directors/record companys instead of the public, as to who shoudl go to number one. They have robbed America's freedom in choosing a number 1 single!
On another note, Elvis' last number one, A Little Less Conversation sold 176,250 copies in it's first week in the UK!
Still, hopefully Elvis will get Number 1 next week with One Night. I really want him to have the 1,000th UK Number 1.
The Sun Never Sets On A Legend...
That's great news and a worthy gift for Elvis 70th birthday.
Be safe and take care,
Christel (TCE)
