The 40th Anniversary Edition of "From Elvis In Memphis" Legacy Edition hit the charts in the US selling around 3.700 copies last week:
- Billboard Comprehensive Album Chart: #155.
- Pop Catalogue Chart: #29.
- Country Catalog Album Charts: #3.
I didn't even think about this charting, so I'm surprised! It's a great release and deserves to sell.
of course no chart appearance in the U.K. the same as the Christmas duets guess everybody has been spending their money on plastic ducks or whatever...
As regards the UK - Sony stated last year that they were not going to market any further releases in the UK until the Cirque Du Soleil 'Elvis' Show Album in early 2010. I believe that release will get a great deal of marketing.
Thanks Brian, great info as always, will watch for the Cirque release.
FANTASTIC to have Elvis back on the charts!!
Just how many Billboard charts are there???!! Where does this figure on the main album chart? 3.700 copies is not a lot to shout about really.
Whats the Cirque Du Soleil 'Elvis' Show Album?
The Cirque Du Soleil 'Elvis' Show album will contain remixed Elvis tracks similar to those on the Beatles 'Love' Album. It is scheduled to be released early in 2010. Sony insiders who have heard some of the tracks consider them outstanding.
The show will have it's first outing on 16th December at the Aria Theatre (CityCenter) in Las Vegas when Priscilla and Lisa, along with other invited guests, will be in attendance paying $10,000 for a seat. All monies from this show will be donated to the ONE DROP Foundation. The official public opening will be on January 8th, 2010. The show has not yet been officially named.
