Comments

Kanye West scores his very first UK #1 hit single by outselling Robyn at #2 by a mere 67 copies. Gym Class Heroes land inside the top 10 with their second UK hit single "Clothes Off" one week ahead of the song's physical release in stores. It should be contending for the top next week. Finally, a new Elvis Presley re-release series debuts this week. This time around they are all singles that have not reached #1. "Suspicious Minds," the first up, opens just outside the top 10.

Comments

It's an invasion of classic American Rock 'n Roll. Elvis Presley debuts at the top with a hit collection and Roy Orbison makes an appearance at #23. UK fans also show they are bigger fans of Robyn's singles than albums. Her new set makes a rather anemic #20 debut.
