February 22 - Charts February 2025 - Week 4 (Updated)

Elvis Presley’s name can usually be found on the U.S. Billboard and Official U.K. charts, but that's no longer the case unfortunately. Here are the rankings for week 4 of February 2025. 


 





Official U.K. charts

Hugh McIntyre wrote for >>> Forbes: Elvis Presley may have gotten his start in the music world in America, but he quickly reached beyond its shores, and his music found its way to people all around the world. Decades after his passing, he remains a global superstar, and he's on the rise again on multiple charts in a nation that embraced him warmly when he first broke out.

This frame, the 'ELV1S 30 #1 Hits' manages to become a top 40 smash again. Many years after the hits-packed set was first released, it breaks back into the top 40 on the Official Albums Streaming chart. This time around, it lifts from No. 41 to No. 38.

The same title is also gaining ground on the Official Albums chart, though it doesn’t quite manage to crack the top 40. On the U.K.’s list of the most-consumed full-lengths and EPs, Presley ascends from No. 53 to No. 47.

It’s not unusual for Presley to appear on the main albums chart in the U.K., he is usually featured on the Album chart every week. It's also not odd for him to continue selling his work long after his death. 

But the fact that the rocker performs best on the streaming list is notable as these platforms wouldn’t exist for many years after his heyday, and certainly after his passing. The fact that his catalog is still resonating with people who use these sites, who are usually younger, is a testament to his ongoing popularity, and of the power of his work.

'Elvis at the Movies' DVD climbed from No. 36 to No. 25 on the Music Video chart while 'Elvis The Searcher' fell off the chart.

On the other side of the Atlantic Elvis' streams seem to have collapsed, as the 'ELV1S 30 #1 Hits' fell off both the Top Country Album, and Top Rock and Alternative Album charts this week. The album was respectively listed at No. 38 and No. 49 last week.
