Heading for 1000th number one slot

Elvis's re-release 'One Night' is likely to become the 1000th UK number one, outselling the Manic Street Preachers' 'Empty Souls' by nine times.

Elvis is pretty damn likely to score his 20th British number one this Sunday with re-released single 'One Night', in doing so grabbing the title of 1000th ever UK chart topper. Some music retailers report sales of 'One Night' are currently nine times that of nearest rival, the Manic Street Preacher's single 'Empty

Souls'. With another 15 Elvis re-releases still to come some wonder whether any other artist will get a look in on the number one spot until some time in March - though it'll be interesting to see what happens if BMG have a priority act looking to top the charts in the meantime!
