January 10 - 100% Elvis A Chart Hit Of The Decennium

In the United Kingdom the "Elvis 75" compilation burst into the Album Chart as the highest new entry at #8. A week(end) of documentaries and media attention on the BBC - together with television advertisement - does help. Elvis only lost out on having a #1 entry due to the album being made available in ASDA and Sainsbury's weeks prior to the official release date of January 4th. Eventually he sold 15.831 copies in the U.K.


Released by the Swedish Expressen Newspaper and Sony Music Sweden is the first volume entitled "Rock" in a seven CD set entitled "100% Elvis". 


Elvis Presley is featured in the Decade Ending Australian Top 100 Singles and Albums lists with the Elvis vs. JXL remix of "A Little Less Conversation" at as the #36 best selling single in Australia, while on the Best Selling Album Chart, "ELV1S 30 #1 Hits" ranked #70.
