February 16, 2006 | Music
The U.S. Billboard Elvis Chart listings for the week ending February 25, 2005:

Hot 100 Singles Sales - Heartbreak Hotel - down 1 to #2
Top Country Albums - Ultimate Gospel - remains at #71
Top Christian Albums - Ultimate Gospel - re-enters at #48


Updated with the reality of U.S. single sales by Jason Edge posted on the 2nd To None board: "There has been discussion about singles sales in the US, and I thought I would post a picture out of the Feb 18, 2006 issue of Billboard Magazine to drive home the point that Singles Sales are very, very minor in comparison to Digital Track sales and CD Sales. If you look at the information for year to date sales closely you will notice that:

* Store Singles (physical singles) acount for about 1/2 of 1% of single sales
* Digital Tracks are outselling physical singles at approx. 182 to 1 ratio
* Digital Tracks are now outselling albums (cd & digital albums)
* Digital Track sales have more than doubled in the previous year".
