It's now or never for Elvis to have the 1,000th number one

“貓王”是否會成為第1000個英國流行樂壇排行榜冠軍?

MORE than 27 years after he was officially declared dead Elvis Presley is poised to make history by claiming the 1,000th British chart No 1.

Since his death in August 1977 Elvis has been sighted in any number of unlikely places, ranging from burger bars and supermarkets to funeral parlours and sheepdog trials.

He has been a priest, a policeman and a lorry driver. One fan even claimed to have spotted him returning a Dyson cleaner to the John Lewis department store in Welwyn Garden City.

Record company executives are now, however, plotting to resurrect him in the incarnation that won him fame, fortune and iconic status - as a pop star.

Sony BMG hopes that by releasing all of Elvis's previous chart-toppers he will be able to claim the coveted 1,000th number-one slot early in the new year.

Band Aid 20 became the 997th No 1 with Do They Know It's Christmas? and it has led the singles chart for four weeks.

The X Factor winner Steve Brookstein has been tipped as the 998th with his single Against All Odds, which has sold 40,000 copies so far, taking the No 2 position and with Band Aid sales expected to slow now Christmas is past.

Elvis's 18 previous No 1s are being re-released over 17 consecutive weeks from January 3 to April 25, starting with All Shook Up and ending with A Little Less Conversation.

Strict chart rules mean All Shook Up is ineligible because it will come in a collectors' box, so Jailhouse Rock will be released on the same day. The record label has described the attempt at claiming the 1,000th No 1 for Elvis as "the most ambitious singles release campaign in the history of the UK record industry". Gennaro Castaldo, an HMV spokesman, said: "With Band Aid 20 currently occupying the top spot, it's difficult to predict precisely when the 1,000th No 1 will occur. However, there's a possibility that it could fall to Elvis, which would be a fantastic and truly fitting way to celebrate the landmark.

"Sales of singles around this time of year tend to be at their lowest. So if Elvis fans are out in force to buy his reissued No 1s, there's every chance this could happen." The 1,000th No 1 will be one of the last based on sales of singles in the shops alone. In the next few months the chart will be changed to incorporate internet downloads.

在官方正式宣布其死訊的27年多后,“貓王”埃爾維斯·普雷斯利將有可能開創歷史,成為英國流行樂壇史上的第1000位排行榜冠軍。

自從他1977年8月去世以來,埃爾維斯的肖像就出現在各種不可思議的地方,比如肉餅店、超市、殯儀館,甚至牧羊犬選拔中心。

他曾經當過牧師、警察和卡車司機。他的一個樂迷甚至宣稱曾在衛爾溫花園城看到他正將一臺戴森牌吸塵器歸還給約翰·劉易斯百貨店。

唱片公司的總監正策劃以一個流行樂手的身份來重振埃爾維斯的聲威,因為這一身份給他帶來了名譽、財富和偶像地位。

索尼BMG公司希望通過發行埃爾維斯以前的所有榮登排行榜首的音樂專輯,使他在新年年初成為令人垂涎的第1000位排行榜冠軍。

慈善音樂組合Band Aid 20 憑借一首《他們知道圣誕節到了嗎?》成為第997位排行榜冠軍,并雄踞單曲排行榜長達四周之久。

美國節目X Factor的獲勝者史蒂夫·布魯克斯坦被推為第998位排行榜冠軍,其成名單曲《不計成敗》現已賣出四萬張,在排行榜上暫居第二,而圣誕節已經過去,預計Band Aid組合的銷售勢頭將減緩。

埃爾維斯早先的18張冠軍碟將在17周(1月3日到4月25日)的時間內再度發行,從《All Shook Up》開始,到《A Little Less Conversation》結束。

按照嚴格的排行榜規則,《All Shook Up》不能算合格的打榜專輯,因為它將成為珍藏版,為此,《Jailhouse Rock》將于同一天發行。在唱片封套上,為埃爾維斯爭取第1000位冠軍的嘗試被描述為“英國唱片業歷史上最有野心的單曲發行運動”。英國“主人之聲”(His Master's Voice)唱片行的發言人詹納羅·卡塔多說:“因為現在占據榜首的是Band Aid 20,所以很難準確地預測第1000個排行榜冠軍何時才會出現。不過,這個頭銜將有可能落到埃爾維斯頭上,并成為慶祝這一劃時代事件的出色而且真正合適的方式。

“每年的這個時節,各大單曲的銷量總是趨于歷史最低點。因此,如果埃爾維斯的樂迷們能夠大量購買重新發行的冠軍碟,這很有可能發生。”英國樂壇上的第1000位排行榜冠軍也將是最后一批僅根據單曲的店面銷售情況進行排名的唱片之一。在接下來的幾個月里,英國流行音樂排行榜將發生變化,與網絡下載流量相結合。
