August 29 - Charts August 2026 - Week 5 - Updated

A surprise on the Official U.K. and Scottish charts this week. 

U.K. charts

The 'Love Songs' triple CD compilation from the Not Now Records budget label re-entered the Official Sales Album chart at No. 53 on the Physical Album Sales chart at No. 49 and on the Independent Album charts at No. 17. 

Hugh McIntyre wrote for >>> Forbes: "When an artist has released as much music as Elvis Presley, both during his lifetime and in the decades since his passing, sometimes new offerings can fly under the radar, even when the talent is as beloved as he is to this day. 

The music industry occasionally returns to the idea of budget releases, those that are typically not bolstered by huge PR and advertising campaigns, but which appeal largely to superfans of a certain act. These kinds of projects were popular in the ’60s and then fell out of fashion for a while, though there is still a place for them, even if they are not as huge as they once were.

Presley returns to the charts in the United Kingdom this week with the 2015 budget offering titled 'Love Songs'. The three-CD set, which is also available on vinyl, features many of the Rock and Roll pioneer’s biggest hits – all centered around love, of course – and it immediately becomes another bestseller for the late superstar.

'Love Songs' is Presley’s second title to debut on both the Official Albums Sales and Official Physical Albums charts this year."

The 'EPiC' soundtrack lost one spot and fell to No. 22 on the Official U.K. Soundtrack Album chart.

The DVD edition of 'EPiC' fell from No. 9 to No. 22 on the DVD charts, while the Blu-ray edition plummeted 48 places, from No. 38 to No. 86, on the Blu-ray chart.  

The movie lost 16 spots on Video chart and fell to No. 32. It remained steady at No. 1 on the Official U.K. Music Video chart for the 11th week in a row.

Scottish charts

The 'Love Songs' budget compilation re-entered the Official Scottish Album chart at No. 59. 

Irish charts

After 10 weeks at No. 1 on the Irish Irma Music Video chart, Elvis' former son in law Michael Jackson bumped Elvis' 'EPiC' DVD / Blu-ray to No. 2 on the chart. The movie rocketed up the Irish Video chart from No. 59 to No. 26.

April 25 - Charts April 2026 - Week 4

Back to the charts this week with a spoiler alert, unfortunately, Elvis lost the U.K. No. 1 spot he had regained last week. Fortunately the BBC made up for this when in their ranking of 'Rock's 37 Most Influential Albums'.

Elvis Presley’s '30 No. 1 Hits' compilation found its way up again, gaining three spots and climbing to No. 66 on the main U.K. Album chart. The album lost another spot on the Chart Update chart, dropping to No. 70. It turned the tide on the Official Streaming Album chart, climbing one spot to No, 63. 

Last week the 'EPiC' soundtrack album re-entered the Album Sales Top 100 and Physical Sales chart at No's 95 and 91 respectively, but this week the album exited both charts again. The album also lost the No. spot on the Soundtrack Album chart, falling to No. 3. 

On the Movie Download chart 'EPiC' remained steady at No. 13, but lost one spot on the Film chart, dropping to No. 15. 

'The King of Rock and Roll' DVD climbed from No. 35 to No. 30 on the Music video Top 50 chart while 'Elvis The Searcher,' dropped from No. 40 to No. 42 on that chart. 'The Complete Story' video exited the chart from last week's listing at No. 45

The BBC's 'Classical Music' website ranked Rock's 37 Most Influential Albums, and Elvis was listed at No. 1 with his debut album. 

The website stated: The evolution of rock music is not a straight line. Instead, it's a series of explosive ruptures caused by artists who dared to dismantle the status quo, permanently altering the sonic, cultural, and commercial landscape for every musician who followed. These albums represent the moments where the rulebook was shredded, whether through the introduction of the distorted riff, the birth of the 'confessional' lyric, or the transformation of the recording studio into a limitless laboratory of sound.

On the impact of Presley's debut album the site wrote: Elvis's debut was the big bang of Rock and Roll, the moment the genre announced itself to the world as a new, irresistible and unstoppable cultural force.

When Sam Phillips at Sun Studios placed Elvis between country and the blues, he didn't just launch a career – he ignited a cultural revolution. Elvis's debut announced that the old categories no longer applied, that a white Southern boy could channel the sexuality and energy of rhythm and blues with total conviction, and that popular music would never be the same.

The hysteria it generated demonstrated that rock and roll was not a passing fad but a generational declaration of independence. Everything followed from here.

Chuck Berry's 'After School Session' (1957) was listed at No. 2 while Robert Johnson's 'King of the Delta Blues Singers' (1961) completed the Top 3.
