Essential Elvis / Elvis soundtrack back on the charts

[sweetangeline]

just looking at Billboard 200 chart and see the Elvis soundtrack re-entry at #188 (peaked at #26 last year) and Essential Elvis climbs from #101 last week to #49 this week Jan.28 (peak position #42) so guess the nominations and awards are sparking something for the big "E".

That's a pretty big jump from last week. Maybe, hopefully, Essential Elvis could crack the Top 40, if everyone here goes out and buys this thing.. again !!! Ha ha ha

It's really not a big jump at the bottom end of the charts. It only requires surprisingly few sales to achieve that.

It is a big jump from 101 to 49.
It is 52 places better than last week.
It was not at the very end! It was in the middle field, because it is called Billboard 200 and not 100.
It went back to top 50 most selling albums of the USA.

You’re probably talking about 10k copies for Essential and a couple of thousand for the soundtrack and those numbers will include streaming and not just physical copies bought.

Yes I am talking about an album that is one of the top 50 selling albums in the USA.
Nothing more and nothing less.

Emjel is talking of 10,000 copies...out of a population of 360,000,000. It's nothing to get excited about. Or, to put it another way, 0.002% of the population bought the album.

There are no CD`s of Lisa, but downloads, streamings so maybe she will make it back to the main charts and also Elvis will get higher on the charts with all the media around the movie, the Oscars and Lisa.
Does anyone know if there are more streaming right now of the songs of Elvis and Lisa duet`s (In the Ghetto, Where No One Stands Alone, Don`t Cry Daddy and I love Because)?
Lisa Marie’s three solo albums have risen to the top 20 on iTunes.

It is still one of top 50 most selling albums of the week in the USA!
So 1000`s of musicians and bands are selling not that many albums.
I am happy that he is still selling albums in 2023 and is well known by the name of Elvis.

[TheKingOfMusicEP]

I just scrolled through and I noticed that Elvis is currently the artist with the oldest music recordings on the Billboard 200 album charts.
Of course he won't stay there, but from his generation of the first rock'n'rollers he is probably the only one with continuous success.

It was a big jump, and it carried him to being the top and only artist from the 1950', starting almost from the middle of the 20th Century, to appear in Billboard 100 ARTIST chart in this, the 1,144 week of the 21st Century. Wow!! Likewise, The Beatles are the top and only artists from the early and middle 1960' to appear in Billboard 100 ARTIST chart this week. Kudos!! From the 70's, Fleetwood Mac is the top, Michael Jackson is the highest ranked from the 1980's, Nirvana from the 90's and the rest I guess they have to suddenly chart 45 years from now to appear on the same chart, but in 2068. I wish them good luck.

That's because he's The King.

Damn! Err...darn! Yeah, nothing to get excited about. Every rock and roll star of the 50's regularly sells that many cds/vinyls/downloads/streams these days.

Indeed, but Elvis wasn’t just a rock n roll star from the 50s so the comparison is questionable.

I guess it depends on who you're talking about. Chuck Berry had hit records in the 50s 60s and 70s. He was doing concerts - and drawing big crowds - into his 80s.
Rick Nelson had hit records in the 50s 60s and 70s and was still touring regularly up until his untimely death in 1985.
Just a a couple examples.
But we hold Elvis to a higher standard, so it's not impressive in the least when his music is still selling decades after his passing? I think it's impressive that ANY music of that vintage still sells in 2023.

Oh I agree, but the point being made is that a few on here act as if Elvis’ chart entries are unique and no other artist could or do achieve such things, when a quick look at the charts shows there are other artists who do just as well or in some cases, better.

In an Elvis forum I can be quite proud if an Elvis Best Of album and an Elvis soundtrack album is among the 200 best selling albums in the USA. There are probably people who have to talk everything down, but we could all be a little happy about the continued success of Elvis.

But as has been mentioned before, the soundtrack album is NOT an Elvis album in the truest sense especially as the majority of sales have been generated by Doja Cat, Eminem and a few others. If they had not been on the album, sales would have been a lot lower.

It seems like you're reaching and elevating again. It is a soundtrack album for the movie that contains songs by Elvis and a host of other artists. The songs by Doja Cat, Eminem and a few others have been streamed/downloaded in the tens of millions, whereas Elvis songs are in the hundreds of thousands. I am not seeing anything that suggests Elvis is cool again amongst the younger generation, and certainly not in the way you desire, and as I wrote, it is their songs which are really boosting the overall sales of that album and not Elvis' songs.

It does much more than only selling music. It is about a better image. The movie Walk The Line made Johnny Cash discover the artist and respect him even more than before and it is the same with Elvis and the movie.
