ELVIS STILL #1 IN ENGLAND

In 2015, EIN contributor Brian Quinn highlighted the fact that ELVIS was still the UK's "most successful chart act", more than 37 years after his sad passing.

Things have changed so much since then that "official tables" can no longer be compared.

Instant click buys, Spotify and streaming make charts somewhat redundant

Yet in 2022, after all these changes and new artists like Ed Sheeran, Drake, Coldplay and Taylor Swift, ELVIS still holds some key UK NUMBER ONE chart positions.
