The Holidays are over and the chart is almost back to normal, only Billboard still keeps track of Christmas sales.
Forbes noted: Elvis Presley’s name can always be found on the Billboard charts, as his music will always be played by people all across the U.S. Sometimes, his fans prefer one collection or a handful of songs, but at other times, tastes change, and so do his fates on the weekly rankings.
The legendary musician experiences a big switch on one Billboard tally, one which he almost always appears on. Presley claims just as many spaces at the moment as he did last week on the ranking, but he trades one title for another.
'The Essential Elvis Presley' compilation returns to the Top Rock and Alternative Albums chart this frame. The compilation is back on the list of the top-consumed rock and alternative full-lengths in the U.S. at No. 45, but it’s not as if he’s been away from the roster for long.
Presley also appeared on the Top Rock and Alternative Albums chart last week, but with a different collection of some of his biggest smashes. Just a few days ago, he almost conquered the genre-specific roster with 'The Classic Christmas Album'. That set lived at No. 2 as consumption of holiday music came to an end for another season. Now, it’s vanished completely from the list.
