Weeeeeelllllll? Does Forty Licks not enter the chart until next week?
I hope so... knock the King offa his high horse there. I love Elvis... but I love the artists he cover more. Elvis was a phenomenon because radio stations were so absolutely *stupid* they wouldn't play "black music" (read: "good music") and left us with crappy soul covers by pasty little white kids with nothing better to do than impress their friends.

Well they knocked him off top spot in the uk. It's the Virgin chart which is usually a good guide. |

Don't knock Elvis about black music-he opened many a white eye to R&B, like the Stones did in the 60's. |

If Elvis sold more than 500,000 his first week, let's hope the estimated 300,000+ for the Stones is conservative.
In the words of Charlie Watts, "I want a number one."
Good news from the UK, but I would expect both the King and the Stones to remain in the Top Ten throughout the Christmas season. |

Yeah, he had the "sixth" sense on that. Great Antennas.

Well, in the US we probably won't find out how the album charts until Wednesday or Thursday. |

It's actually a quote from Ronnie, discussing the band's (at the time) new single, 'Like A Rolling Stone'.
Ronnie: "In the words of Charlie Watts, (mock-Charlie voice) 'I want a number one.' Well...I see no reason why not."
