Nearly 40 years after his death, Elvis became the male solo
artist with the most UK Number 1 albums last week with "If I Can
Dream," a collection of his classics featuring orchestral
reworkings by the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra.
The album notched up over 88,600 combined chart sales, giving
him the second-fastest selling album of the year behind Noel
Gallagher's High Flying Birds' "Chasing Yesterday", the Official
Charts Company said.
New entries Little Mix’s "Get Weird" and Ellie Goulding's
"Delirium" took second and third place in the album chart,
pushing Rod Stewart's "Another Country" down from second to
fourth place.
There was another trip down memory lane this week with a deluxe
reissue of the Beatles' album "1" entering at number five.
In the singles charts, Adele was top for a third week with
Britain's fastest-selling record of 2015 "Hello," which also
topped Britain's weekly streaming chart with 4.7 million
listens.
Justin Bieber's "Sorry" was number two in the singles charts,
followed by 2014 X Factor runner-up Fleur East with her debut
single "Sax".
