The second Elvis Presley song to chart on the Billboard Hot 100 in the 21st century extends the king's reign on the Billboard pop singles chart.

"Rubberneckin'" (BMG Strategic Marketing/RCA), remixed by producer Paul Oakenfold, is new at No. 94, giving Presley a rock-era chart span of 47 years, six months and three weeks, counting back to the March 3, 1956, debut of "Heartbreak Hotel."

It was one year ago this month when the remix of "A Little Less Conversation" by Elvis Presley vs. JXL fell off the chart. That single marked Presley's return to the Hot 100 after a 20-year absence.

The original version of "Conversation" peaked at No. 69 in 1968. Like "Conversation," Presley's original recording of Dory Jones and Bunny Warren's "Rubberneckin"' has been on the Hot 100 before. As the B-side of "Don't Cry Daddy," the song went to No. 6 in 1970.

On Hot 100 Singles Sales, "Rubberneckin' " debuts at No. 1, just as "Conversation" did in July 2002.

Elvis Presley Video Tupelo's Own Elvis Presley DVD

Never before have we seen an Elvis Presley concert from the 1950's with sound. Until Now! The DVD Contains recently discovered unreleased film of Elvis performing 6 songs, including Heartbreak Hotel and Don't Be Cruel, live in Tupelo Mississippi 1956. Included we see a live performance of the elusive Long Tall Sally seen here for the first time ever. + Plus Bonus DVD Audio.

This is an excellent release no fan should be without it.

The 'parade' footage is good to see as it puts you in the right context with color and b&w footage. The interviews of Elvis' Parents are well worth hearing too. The afternoon show footage is wonderful and electrifying : Here is Elvis in his prime rocking and rolling in front of 11.000 people. Highly recommended.
