October 13 - No Deluxe Box on the Charts (Updated)

According to the Belgian UEPS fan club Sony / RCA UK pulled the previously announced deluxe box LP/ CD set for the "Christmas" cooperation between Elvis Presley and the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra.

Charts 


The new "Christmas" album by Elvis Presley and the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra is a new entry at #22 on the Official UK Album chart with 3,572 copies sold. 


The comment by sales specialist Alan Jones:


Following the template of 2015's If I Can Dream and 2016's The Wonder Of You – both No.1's – the latest Elvis Presley offering comprises newly constructed recordings blending archive vocals with freshly coined orchestral stylings from The Royal Philharmonic Orchestra. This time however, the album – whose title appears to be Elvis Christmas, although the OCC have gone with Christmas With Elvis & The RPO – has a seasonal twist, with the late king's advent audio adventures getting bespoke treatments. It is, of course, still more than 10 weeks to Christmas, so the album can be excused its comparatively low debut position of No.22 (3,572 sales). Several other Christmas albums – including offerings from Gwen Stefani and Fantasia – also dropped last week but Presley's is the only one to chart thus far.
