Rolling Stones Beat Elvis On Billboard

September 24, 2003 | Music
On next weeks singles chart, a pair of buffed and re-polished vintage tracks duked it out. Last week's Number One-selling single, Elvis Presley's "Rubberneckin'" (as remixed by Paul Oakenfold), was unseated by the Rolling Stones' "Sympathy for the Devil" (remixed by the Neptunes, Fatboy Slim and others) by a mere ten copies, 8,610 to 8,600.

Updated with the Billboardpositions for the week ending October 4th:
Billboard Top 200 Albums - Elvis 30 #1's - #167
Billboard Top Country Albums - Elvis 30 #1's - #25
Billboard Hot 100 - Rubberneckin - #100
Billboard Hot 100 Singles Sales - Rubberneckin - #2
Billboard Hot Dance Singles Sales - Rubberneckin - #2
