In The Ghetto Hit #1 Five Times

October 14, 2007 | Other
On her website Lisa Marie Presley mentions that the "In the Ghetto" duet with her father has now reached the #1 spot on iTunes in Canada, UK. Australia, Ireland, Germany and New Zealand. "Thank you all for helping it get there and for helping the people of New Orleans! We love you!!!"

All proceeds from sale of the song and video are going to the newly established The Presley Charitable Foundation. This is specifically for LMP and her kids to do special projects. It is not the same as the "The Elvis Presley Charitable Foundation" which has been up and running for a very long time and has it's own successful projects.

In order to stem the tide of the public (illegally) watching the "In the Ghetto" video on YouTube and other video sites, they have made a movie that will hopefully persuade the viewers to go to iTunes and purchase it, and thereby.... help end homelessness!

You can help tremendously by downloading the movie, then uploading it to YouTube and any other video site you can think of. Go nuts. Flood the world. End suffering.

I am sad that in the USA, it has not reached #1. Not knowing how to use ITunes, I ended up buying it 5 times so that will probably make up for the freeloaders. Would love to know what the profit for this venture is now.

I'm proud to say I don't own one copy of the "Macarana". It's great to see "In The Ghetto" reaching number 1.
