Elvis shakes up the charts

Elvis returned to the top of the charts yesterday with his latest rereleased single, It's Now Or Never.

The ballad went straight in at No.1 bumping last week's chart-topper Goodies, by newcomer Ciara, into third place. Last week the King's A Fool Such As I made it only to second place, following on from Jailhouse Rock and One Night which both went straight to No.1.

This week's hit marks a shift in the King's style, with the operatic It's Now or Never based on the old Italian ballad 'O Sole Mio'.

It was recorded after Elvis left the army in the Sixties. Eighteen of the King's tracks are being re-released in succession to commemorate his life.
