Elvis is Still the King

One week after topping the UK pop music charts with 1957's "Jailhouse Rock" 70 years after his birth, Elvis claims the #1 spot once again with his 1959 release, "One Night". It's Elvis' 20th British Number one, more than any other solo artist.

According to Reuters UK, it's all part of a plan:

Elvis's record label is re-releasing 18 number ones in consecutive weeks, in time to cash in before the 50-year copyright protection on sound recordings in most European countries expires on his earlier hits

All time British chart-topper is Paul McCartney, who has 22 No. UK #1 hits as a Beatle, solo artist and as member of Wings.
