according to Elvis-express hardly any of the elvis downloads have been counted this week because there is a 'fault' with downloading ALLC.Also i-Tunes the biggest download website does n't even have ALLC. Anyone who has downloaded between Monday and Thursday needs to do so again. HMV sold me a copy of ALLC today even though they are n't on display - they 've been told not to put it out until next week. I think all these little conspiracies mean that ALLC will get to number 3

More conspiracy evidence? Just completed my weekly trek around the local outlets here in North Wales and as usual no sign of the latest single in any of them. However in Asda, which reserves an empty slot in their singles rack at No 20 each week for the latest Elvis release, I noticed a reduced to clear bin. There I found several numbered (all in the 16,000s) copies of Way Down at £2.99. Yet last week no copies were for sale in the store. I asked to see the manager, he wasn't available!

Have you noticed the stickers on the front of the singles have the wrong "Originally #1" date on them. They list the date the singles entered the charts, not the date they finally made it to the top spot. Somebody at BMG been misreading their Guiness Book of Hit Singles?

conspiracy evidence? If any of you really believe that, then you are nuts. Absolutly bonkers. Conned out of #1 ? I can only imagine what it must be like to live in your crazy la la land.

This is very disappointing news. Getting a bit frustrating now, the same old pattern, the same people buying the records. Surely we can sell more than 23/26 thousand etc ?

I can live without the chart in 2005 as, judging by the low sales, can most people. However, get real, how do you react to the fact (fact) that many stores deliberately hold back copies of the new single until the second week of release. Why on earth would they do that, if they haven't had some kind of word from the chart compilers/ other record companies/TOTP etc.? The evidence for a 'conspiracy' has been provided on numerous occasions over the last four months. There are four or five further examples on this page alone!

Conspiracy theory? I dont think anyone in the real world gives a toss about who is number one.

How are we being conned out of Elvis having a number one record each week? Tony Christie is selling twice what Elvis is, fact. As for the conspiracy theories, is the number one record really that important in this big, wide world?

I have not got ALLC.Its only Elvis fans what are buying these. Some fans dont like it. Non Elvis fans dont even know its out. Amarillos a charity single. No radio play or nothing on tv. It will be a miracle if the king gets to number one. Sorry if I sound so negative and some fans cant find it in the shops. What chance has Elvis got of getting to number one with all this against him
