Heading for number one

Midweek sales suggest Elvis's re-release of 'Jailhouse Rock' will top the UK chart, which would give him his 19th number one and a potential 1000th British number one.

Midweek sales figures suggest it is pretty damn likely Elvis will have the 999th British number one with the re-release of

'Jailhouse Rock', which is currently a couple of thousand units ahead of this week's number one, Steve Brockstein's cover of

'Against All Odds'. If so, the re-release would be Elvis' 19th number one in the UK, which would mean that, if the re-release of 'One Night' next Monday also topped the charts, Elvis would have Britain' s 1000th number one with his twentieth chart topper, which is nice maths if nothing else.
