Elvis Set for Another Number One
The re-release of A Fool Such As I is outselling closest rival The Chemical Brothers by three to one.
It would become the 1,001st number one in chart history and give Presley his 21st chart-topper.
Presley is currently holding the top spot with the 1,000th number one, One Night.
The week before he topped the chart with Jailhouse Rock.
And Presley fans have been out in force since Monday buying up copies of One Night, which was originally released on April 24, 1959.
Each of the King's 18 chart-toppers is being re-released to mark what would have been his 70th year.
Monday sees the release of It's Now Or Never, one of his most memorable hits.
It may face competition from Mike Read's tsunami charity single, Grief Never Grows Old, which is released on the same day.

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.
