August 06 - Charts August 2022 - Week 1 - No 1 In The U.K. (Updated Again)

The weekly global Elvis Presley chart update. The physical release of the 'ELVIS' soundtrack album boosted sales in the United States and especially in the United Kingdom. 

On the British Isles the soundtrack climbed to to the No. 1 spot on the Official Soundtrack Album charts and made a jump from #97 to #3 on the Official Compilation Albums chart! On Amazon's U.S. and U.K. Film Music charts the soundtrack album hit the No. 1 Spot too.

Around the world the soundtrack album (re)entered the Album charts, putting Elvis back in the spotlights!

Collider wrote: Audiences couldn't help but fall in love with Baz Luhrmann's maximalist biopic. Much like The King of Rock and Rock himself, director Baz Luhrmann’s Elvis is still making noise well past its prime. The second-biggest music biopic of all time (behind Bohemian Rhapsody) passed the $250 million mark at the global box office in its seventh week of release, with a VOD debut looming.

Elvis added $4.5 million this weekend from 70 markets, pushing its overseas gross to $114,700,000 million. Domestically, the film made $3.7 million this weekend, taking its total to $136,516,741 million. Globally the movie grossed US$251,216,741.
