February 28 - Charts February 2026 - Week 4 - Updated

It seems that no matter how much time goes by, the music Elvis Presley made during his lifetime will never completely fade from popularity. 

The superstar returned to the charts around the world with a new album which accompanies a just-released film all about him, and fans of the King in that nation have turned the set into a fast Top 10 bestseller on various countries.

Hugh McIntyre wrote for Forbes: Next summer will mark half a century since Elvis Presley passed away at the age of 42. Decades after his death, the superstar is still regarded as one of the most important figures in music history, as well as a pioneer of rock and roll. Interest in all things related to Presley remains high, and a brand new Baz Luhrmann concert film/documentary hybrid titled 'EPiC: Elvis Presley in Concert 'has already made more than US$14 million globally at the box office.

The movie’s accompanying soundtrack becomes a quick success in the United Kingdom this week. The set debuts inside the top 10 on nearly every chart on which it debuts this time around, and it even manages to earn Presley a new posthumous No. 1 in the country as the 'EPiC' soundtrack album debuted at No. 1 on the Official U.K. Soundtrack Album chart, pushing the 'Stranger Things Season 5' soundtrack off of the throne. 

With this No. 1 position Elvis earned his second No. 1 on the Official Soundtrack Albums chart as the 'Elvis by the Presleys' album marked his first chart topper on the Soundtrack Album chart. That project spent a total of 40 weeks on the chart, including five weeks at the summit.

The 2022 'ELVIS' soundtrack returned to the Soundtrack Album chart at No. 47.

The soundtrack album has come in at No. 17 on the main U.K. Album Top 100 chart with only four additional debuts landing just ahead of Presley. It debuted at No. 5 on the Album Sales Top 100, the Album Download chart and the Physical Albums chart. 

Three additional projects attached to Presley appear on at least one list in the United Kingdom'. The '50 Greatest Hits' compilation re-entered the Album Download chart at No. 73 while the 'ELV1S 30 #1 Hits' continued its rise on the main album chart, climbing to No. 65 this week. On the Chart Update chart the latter album dropped from No. 60 to No. 63 while it climbed 10 spots, from No. 68 to No. 58. on the U.K. Streaming Album Top 100. 

On the Country Compilation chart the 'From Elvis In Nashville' album dropped from No. 17 to No. 20.

The 'The Complete Story' jumped from No. 26 to No. 9 on the Music video chart this week.
