September 02 - Charts From The Seventies

After last week's new entry at #4 the Australian fan compilation "Elvis By Request" droppped to #9 on the Australian Album chart. 

The CD is available from >> Elvis Australia.

In the U.S. no album made enough sales to enter one of the many sales or airplay chart from Billboard.
The French fan compilation "Elvis - La Collection RTL" climbed from last week's new entry at #98 to #15 this week in the Wallonian part of Belgium. 
The 20-CD box set "20 Original Albums" is a new entry on the album charts at #54 in the Netherlands. In Sweden this box entered the Album Charts #43.
In Germany that box-set fell off the charts (last week it was listed at #84). The RCA budget compilation "The Real ... Elvis" climbed from #25 to #17 in Ireland.


Hits Of The 70's?

The latest edition of the UK - usually well informed - magazine The Man And His Music reports that the Follow that Dream collector's label is planning to release an expanded revised version of the 1974 UK only release "Hits Of the Seventies". The original 12 track LP included many songs only available in the 
UK on singles (I'm Leavin', Rags To Riches", "Always On My Mind, etc). The album only charted at #30 in 1977, after Elvis' death but in 1974 it failed to chart.
