USA Sales Expectations

The King may be 25 years cold, but sales are hot for his #1 singles collection. According to early reports from national accounts, ELV1S 30 #1 Hits (RCA) is on track to sell well over 500k this week—which means the new compilation celebrating 25 years since God stepped on Elvis Presley’s Blue Suede Shoes and called him to that big pharmacy in the sky is a hit. Indeed, the collection could sell as many as 600k if it ramps up during the week the way Beatles 1 did. If sale keep up the album could become the new No. 1.
