This has become my favorite feature at Elvisnews.com. For some reason I enjoy reading about sales figures and chart positions. Naturally this has nothing really to do with the music itself which is the real reason I come to this site often.
But I still enjoy this, and wish they would post sales figures on more of the Elvis's releases. I'd love to know what Young Man With The Big Beat, and and the Legacy releases among others have sold so far. But I guess some readers on this site would find this info boring.
What we see here is just a fraction of all the Elvis music sold throughout the world each week. By the look of things, it doesn't appear that Elvis music is going away anytime soon.
i agree a 100% with Lou A & Lefty. I think it is also relevant to note that E1 is still in the canadian Top 50 country charts .
