October 19 - Chart King

After an eight weeks chart run the French "La Collection RTL" compilation fell off the Wallonian Album chart in the French speaking part of Belgium. This CD dropped from #29 to #34 on the French Compilation album chart. 

The CD "The Real... Elvis" climbed from #40 to #28. 

In it's ninth week on the Australian Album Charts, the "Elvis By Request: The Australian Edition" CD has dropped from #80 to #98. This will almost certainly be the albums last week in the ARIA Top 100.

Billboard

On the current Billboard Holiday Album chart, Elvis sits at #4 with "It's Christmas Time" selling 2,428 copies this week and 1,389,465 in total. The "Best Of Love" sold 1,162 copies this week and 301,010 copies in total. "Viva Las Vegas" sold 513 copies this week and 38,156 in total.

Also on Billboard:
Christmas Time Is Here: It's time to say hello to the Christmas albums on the Catalog chart again, as Elvis Presley's "It's Christmas Time" is the first one out of the gate this year at #23 Catalog. It's not unheard of to have Christmas albums on the October charts. Two years ago, Michael W. Smith's "It's A Wonderful Christmas" was on the charts in the last two weeks of October (and was even #1 on October 30). In 2009, "The Taylor Swift Holiday Collection (EP)" was on the chart by the end of October, and Josh Groban's "Noel" accomplished the feat in 2008 and 2009. There were no Christmas albums on the chart at the end of October last year, but a couple of albums showed up for an odd week in September: Susan Boyle's "The Gift" and Anuna's "Christmas Memories". 

The King

Sony Music (Columbia Europa) will release a 3CD budget set entitled "The King".
