May 06 - Charts May 2023 - Week 1 (Updated)

The weekly global Elvis Presley chart update. In the United Kingdom, Ireland,  Scotland and The Netherlands the 'Burning Love' Record Store Day release dropped off the charts after just one week. But the latest Memphis Recording Service 4-CD-set 'Las Vegas Summer Festival 1972' made up for that. 

Elvis Presley did score his 7th British Phonographic Award for 2023 with a Gold Single Award for 'Hound Dog', so our man still sells in England. 

In the United States the 'ELV1S 30 #1 Hits' compilation dropped off the main Billboard 200 Album chart and various other charts. The 'Burning Love' LP made up for that loss a little.
