Official Soundtrack Albums chart<\/a>. Last time around, Epic dipped to No. 3, its lowest placement yet in the nearly two months it has spent as one of the most popular soundtracks in the U.K. Now in its eighth turn on the rundown, Epic earns its third stint leading the way.<\/p>\nElvis Presley\u2019s Epic Hit No. 1 for the First Time Weeks Ago<\/p>\n
Epic doubled Presley\u2019s total number of No. 1s on the Official Soundtrack Albums chart when it debuted just last month. Presley first conquered in 2005 with Elvis by the Presleys. He almost added a second winner in 2018 with The Searcher, though that set stalled in second place.<\/p>\n
With just eight weeks to its credit on the Official Soundtrack Albums chart, Epic already ranks as one of Presley\u2019s sturdiest appearances on the list. Elvis by the Presleys remains his longest-charting title with 40 frames on the roster, while The Searcher managed 22. Several other collections, including Blue Hawaii, G.I. Blues, and NBC TV Special \/ Aloha from Hawaii, didn\u2019t make it to a month on the ranking.<\/p>\n
Elvis Presley\u2019s Epic Beats Prince\u2019s Purple Rain to No. 1<\/p>\n
One legacy act replaces another atop the Official Soundtrack Albums chart this week. As Presley regains control over the specific list, he ousts Prince and The Revolution, who last time around dominated with Purple Rain. That title, which has spent well over 1,000 weeks on the Official Soundtrack Albums rundown, only declines one position to No. 2, forcing KPop Demon Hunters to similarly slide backward one slot.<\/p>\n

At the same time that Epic regains its control over the Official Soundtrack Albums chart, the compilation of sorts reenters the Official Physical Albums and Official Albums Sales lists. Epic is back at No. 91 on the ranking of the bestselling releases on CD, cassette, or vinyl, and at No. 95 on the general sales tally. Epic, which is up to six turns on the pair of registers, did not conquer either of them, as it did on the Official Soundtrack Albums chart. Instead, Presley\u2019s posthumous project topped out at No. 5.<\/p>\n
Elvis Presley\u2019s 30 Number One Hits Continues Its Streak<\/p>\n
Two different full-lengths by Presley appear on the U.K. charts at the moment, but there\u2019s no crossover between them. Elvis: 30 Number One Hits declines from No. 57, where it sat only days ago, on both the Official Albums and Official Albums Streaming charts. This time around, it hits No. 64 on the streaming ranking and No. 69 on the look at the 100 most-consumed collections in the nation. <\/p>\n
Unlike Epic, Elvis: 30 Number One Hits is not a bestseller, though it is the compilation that most fans focus on when they want to stream Presley\u2019s most famous singles.<\/p>\n
