Elvis' success with IICD is the most amazing chart feat of any album. There is no way current stars will be selling this many albums some 38 years after their death. Elvis is truly THE KING.

Elvis Presley is on course to achieve the unthinkable, a 5th place amongst every album, as far as 2015 sales in the UK, and he shall do so 38 years after his death,. Not even in 2002, when "Elv1s 30 #1 hits" hit the top of the UK charts, has an Elvis album reached such heights. As I write this message and with three weeks left until Xmas, his and the RPO's "If I can Dream" has sold 410,000 copies, ONLY 25,000 copies LESS (take a few thousands here and there) than the album which is currently ranked as the 5th biggest 2015 seller. Only Coldplay's current album can stop Presley from gettIng there, inside the five, but in order to achieve that (and bounce poor old Elvis to the 6th position LOL), they would have to sell in excess of 460,000 copies in the UK from here until 31 December 2016 and EXPECT that not a single additonal "If I can dream" CD is sold over the aforementioned 25,000, also until December 31st. That's a mighty order, especially since this last week, the "If I can dream" CD sold in excess of 96,000 copies. I predict a reduction in sales to, say, 50,000 for the Elvis CD for the current week, thereby sending him, the RPO and the "If I can dream" CD right into 5th place, reaching the 460,000 by next week and the 500,000 mark by the next, or by Xmas itself.
