Why anyone goes to the post office anymore is beyond me. You can order ALL their products online, including the Elvis Forever CD. You can print USPS labels online and you can request FREE pickup for any USPS packages you want to ship. I do not need to ever step inside a USPS office again.

Well my point is why would people run around from US Post Office to US Post Office looking for the Elvis Forever CD when you and order it online? Of course people outside the USA wouldn't normally go to a US Post Office.

As I announced, the CD is sold out. it doesnt even appear in the top 50 in the opyre sales, which means if it sold anything it was below 3000. Tt has scanned 52,000 thus far...

...to be quite honest...it`s a rather stupid decision to press only 50,000...they should have pressed at least 100,000 and let it run until the new year...but hey we don`t make those calls...this product would not have hurt any upcoming sales for the IF I CAN DREAM CD!!

So, the Elvis Forever CD is sold out ????

Why didn't this get worldwide distribution ?

This CD could definitely been another Top 10, but when it's limited in edition, let alone only available thru certain outlets, well yea, then no Top 10, #11, go figure , screwed out of another Top 10 title....

Shoulda been #1, please Sony u knew it too ...

Save all ur bs for some gimmick like this symphonic title that Will be forgotten the week it comes out.

Remix, remake, remaster all u want, nothing ever gonna be as good as what Elvis originally recorded.

Sry, truth hurts...

Just like the Elvis Forever album; yet another Elvis comp. At least the forth-coming IIC album is something different and will get media hype which will get the public's attention. So it can only be good for our man. Even if some non-fans don't buy this album they might be tempted into buying another Elvis album. But hopefully this album will give Elvis another #1.

Truth is, the USPS isn't in the music distribution business, and especially not in international markets. It's a promotional CD to celebrate a United States postal stamp, not intended at all for world-wide release. It's a shock to most that this performed as well as it did at all.
yes indeed!!

...respectfully my friend...the actual truth is this;

this product is between Sony Music / USPS...and if they choose to press more they simply could and there would be no issue...it`s certainly not a promo cd in the way that most collectors view a "promo"...it`s basically an opportunity for SONY / USPS to bring awareness to the general public about the Elvis items (stamp) they currently sell and a preview from Sony with regards to the upcoming IF I CAN DREAM release! It`s no shock at all that it has sold the way it has, but that has more to do with the stamp picture being everywhere in the states on different products being sold by the USPS...including most importantly the CD...this decision was a relatively easy choice for Sony...they didn't have to do very much...USPS took care of it all :D

Elvis lands three of his Christmas albums in the Billboard Holiday Chart for October 24, 2015, namely the penennial It's Christmas Time at #5, Merry Chistmas, Love Elvis at #8 and Blue Christmas at #50. He is the only one with two albums in the top 10.

As to the Philarmonic CD, at least at Amazon it hasn't sank lower than 50 in the last month and a half, hit #1 for three days, continues selling briskly and currently at #33. Now, since yesterday, it is riding pretty high at the second biggest outlet, which is Barnes and Noble, currently at #14.

Thanks Jamie. Is that Amazon UK or USA?
Are Barnes and Noble selling the physical album?
Is the album on Itunes charts?
