oh dear, Suspicious has only made no. 11 on singles charts, hope others do better.

Doubtful that the others will chart better- with so many chart sales coming via internet, fans will not spend money on a download when they are after a CD with a collectable cover.

Not a good time to release a Single on a Thursday!!, so it did well to get to no 11 having what three day's to sell when most chart single's come out on a Monday in the UK and get a week's worth of sale's

With the entry of 'Suspicious Minds' at No.11 in the UK Singles Chart on 19th August 2007, Elvis reclaims his longevity record for Top 40 Entries from Dame Shirley Bassey. Elvis first entered the UK Single Charts with 'Heartbreak Hotel' on 11th May, 1956. His longevity record is now 51 years and one day. Shirley's record was over 50 years having first entered the UK Singles Chart on 15th February, 1957 with 'The Banana Boat Song'.
