With so many titles on the charts, it shows what a little publicity can do to bolster Elvis sales. 2010 (the 75th birthday anniversary) should give even a bigger boost, hopefully, Sony will have a worthwhile release ready.

E1 is now at number 2 (from 5) in the canadian country chart. I wonder why the Xmas Duets did not qualify for the country chart in this country ? Any one can give an explanation ? Elvis selling almost 600000 albums in the UK (with no promotion from his record company!) & still ranked amongst the TOP 20 sellers 30 years + after his passing ! Isn t that an achievement ?! I bet 60 percent of the other "toppers" will long be forgotten in 5 years ! Elvis is king forever !
