Americans never stop listening to Elvis Presley, though there are certain times of the year when the country comes together and consumes his music - even if only just a tune or two - in large enough numbers to send him back to the Billboard charts. The multi-genre superstar finds his way to multiple tallies this frame as Christmas music surges once more.Official U.K. charts
The compilation slipped from No. 85 to No. 91 on the Official U.K. Album Top 100, and lost nine places on the U.K. Chart Update chart, falling from No. 75 to No. 84 this week.
Better results from the Official U.K. Streaming chart as the 'ELV1S 30 #1 Hits' compilation won three spots and climbed to No. 67.
The song 'Blue Christmas' made a re-entry on three charts: No. 76 on the U.K. Single Top 100, No 62 on the Official Streaming chart and No. 56 on the Audio Streaming chart at No. 56.
On the Music Video chart 'The King of Rock and Roll' DVD made e re-entry at No. 48.
U.S. Billboard charts
'Blue Christmas' has become a must-hear for millions of Americans every year throughout its lifetime. The track, originally released by Presley in 1964, shows another side of the holiday, one that is not all about presents and joy, but instead how even the jolliest day of the year can be sad.
'Blue Christmas' breaks back onto the Hot 100 this week, the list of the most consumed songs in the U.S., landing right in the middle of the roster at No. 50.
'Blue Christmas' amazingly required more than half a century before it cracked the Hot 100. Despite the fact that Presley was already one of the most successful artists of all time on the competitive list, with more than 100 placements on the roster to his name. 'Blue Christmas' did not make it to the ranking until 2019. The cut peaked at No. 18 last year.
'Blue Christmas' performs significantly better on the other Billboard tallies where it can be found at the moment. Presley’s single reenters both the Rock Streaming Songs and Country Streaming Songs rankings, as Billboard has classified it under both genre labels. The tune performs best on the rock list, finding its way back to No. 5, while on the country-only tally it storms in at No. 11.
'Blue Christmas' can also be found on both the Holiday 100 and Holiday Streaming Songs charts, where it settles at No's. 22 and 21, respectively.
The quick success of 'Blue Christmas' powers Presley’s 'The Classic Christmas Album' back to multiple tallies as well. That seasonal favorite rebounds to No. 26 on the Top Country Albums chart, No. 34 on the Top Rock and Alternative Albums roster, and No. 158 on the Billboard 200. Previously, 'The Classic Christmas Album' has broken into the Top 10 on both genre-specific rankings, and its annual ascent has only just begun.
Presley fills two spots on the Top Country Albums chart, as Billboard apparently classifies much of his output as country, even though he is largely remembered as a pioneer in the rock style. As 'The Classic Christmas Album' reenters the twangy ranking at No. 26, 'The Essential Elvis Presley' holds at No. 42.
