QuickPoll: Almost All Fooled

January 23, 2005 | Other
Until the midweek standings were known, 86% of the visitors thought Elvis would get his 3rd #1 in a row. After those predictions, it even went to 91%... and all turned out to be wrong, unfortunately. We altered the question a bit, and made it "Will Elvis get his 3rd #1 this year?".

Unfortunately I was right I did not think A fool such as I would get to no 1 because this single was so hard to get. I think the ebay did not help much there was more on there for sale than there was in the shops !

After A LITTLE LESS CONVERSATION & RUBBERNECKIN', Elvis' THAT'S ALRIGHT MAMA went to No.3 and then with two Number Ones in a row with JAILHOUSE ROCK & ONE NIGHT. And ONE NIGHT is also the landmark 1,000th No.1 Top Single. And now A FOOL SUCH AS I making it to Number 2 is a great achievement indeed. I'm sure there will be more No.1 Ones & Top 10 Hits in weeks to come. LONG LIVE ZI CHAMPION KING!

People should NOT buy on EBAY. It would seem many retailers are ripping us off. Don't reward them.

Its going to be very differcult for Elvis to get another number one because alot of the fans cannot get the singles here in the uk. Anyway well done to all the fans for getting Elvis in the charts again ! I am now looking forward to seeing Elvis The Concert at Birmingham.

just tried to buy Its Now Or Never in HMV Manchester at 09.00 only to be told it was sold out. Absolutely ridiculous. I am giving up trying now as unfortunately it is more trouble than its worth trying to get hold of these singles now. PROBABLY THE REASON BEHIND ONLY BEING no. 2 this week is that people couldn't get hold of the disc. I would love to have the set but unless they release more copies I have no chance and I am not alone.

Just called into our local Woolies store [9-15am] They only got 5 [FIVE] copies of Now or Never in, 3 already sold. They where unable to find covers for the other 2 and i was told they could not therefore supply me. I asked if they find the cover[s] could they keep me one. The answer was NO. No sign of the extra AFSAI copies either. NoN is waiting for me at HMV, but they did not get AFSAI either. So bmg/sony were are the copies we're promised.?
