The set, titled <a class=\"color-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=NmqWusmzp0k\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" data-ga-track=\"ExternalLink:https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=NmqWusmzp0k\" aria-label=\"Epic: Elvis Presley In Concert\">Epic: Elvis Presley In Concert<\/a>, accompanied a movie of the same name directed by Baz Luhrmann. The Australian filmmaker spent years working with Presley\u2019s estate to finally bring his life story to the big screen in what turned out to be the Oscar-nominated, Austin Butler-starring Elvis. <\/p>\n<p>Several years later, Luhrmann utilized never-before-seen performance footage to create something of a documentary and something of a performance film, Epic, which was paired with the soundtrack of the same name. That project was recently released on vinyl, and sales jumped dramatically from one frame to the next. Epic debuts on one tally, earning Presley another posthumous top 10, and returns to several other lists at the same time.<\/p>\n<p>Epic: Elvis Presley In Concert Debuts Inside the Top 10<\/p>\n<p>This week, Epic launches on just one tally in America. The <a class=\"color-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.billboard.com\/charts\/vinyl-albums\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" data-ga-track=\"ExternalLink:https:\/\/www.billboard.com\/charts\/vinyl-albums\/\" aria-label=\"Vinyl Albums chart\">Vinyl Albums chart<\/a> looks only at the bestselling releases, regardless of genre, that are available on wax, and the roster has become more competitive in the past several years after the format turned around and became popular once more. Epic debuts at No. 8 this frame.<\/p>\n<p>Elvis Presley\u2019s Where No One Stands Alone Hit No. 1<\/p>\n<p>Presley earns his seventh appearance on the Vinyl Albums chart as Epic launches, and his fourth top 10. The rock legend has only reached the summit once, with Where No One Stands Alone, which debuted in that space in August 2018. Two other titles, If I Can Dream, which also credits The Royal Philharmonic Orchestra, and Elvis: International Hotel, Las Vegas, Nevada, August 26, 1969, both spent one week at No. 6 before disappearing entirely.<\/p>\n<p>Noah Kahan And Foo Fighters Beat Elvis Presley This Week<\/p>\n<p>Eight releases debut on the Vinyl Albums chart this week, and Presley scores the fourth-highest-rising of the bunch. The loftiest three spaces are all occupied by debuts. Noah Kahan\u2019s The Great Divide leads the way, and it is closely followed by Kehlani\u2019s self-titled studio effort and Your Favorite Toy by Foo Fighters. Those projects open at Nos. 2 and 3, respectively. <\/p>\n<p>Coming in behind Presley are Michael Jackson\u2019s Michael: Songs From The Motion Picture (Soundtrack) (No. 12), Ringo Starr\u2019s Long Long Road (No. 15), Location Lost by Failure (No. 16), and Toy With Me \u2013 another Toy-themed album \u2013 the latest by pop singer Meghan Trainor, which enters at No. 22.<\/p>\n<p>Meghan Trainor at Peacock&#8217;s &#8220;The Paper&#8221; Los Angeles Premiere held at the Harmony Gold Theater on August 27, 2025 in Los Angeles, California.

As eight titles debut, 13 return to the vinyl roster, including several by the same superstar. Jackson sees Thriller, Number Ones, and Off The Wall find their way back to the format-specific rundown, joining his self-titled soundtrack. Comebacks from Kahan, Fleetwood Mac, Harry Styles, Bruno Mars, and several others also make this one of the more exciting frames on the Vinyl Albums chart in recent memory.<\/p>\n<p>Elvis Presley\u2019s Epic Returns to Several Billboard Charts<\/p>\n<p>Thanks to an uptick in purchases on vinyl, Epic returns to another two Billboard rankings. The project reappears inside the top 10 at No. 10 on the Soundtracks list. Epic is back at No. 15 on the Top Album Sales chart. <\/p>\n<p>Those positions are not far from the title\u2019s all-time highs, although Epic does not return to those positions. On the Soundtracks rundown, Epic topped out at No. 6, while on the Top Album Sales chart, the soundtrack rose as high as No. 13, just two spaces beneath where it currently sits.<\/p>\n<p>Elvis Presley\u2019s 30 #1 Hits Remains a Country Fixture<\/p>\n<p>Elvis Presley plays guitar during a scene from the documentary film Elvis: That&#8217;s the Way It Is.<\/p>\n<p>Bettmann Archive<\/p>\n<p>Presley claims two successful albums in America this week, but there\u2019s no crossover between where they land. As Epic debuts and returns, Elvis: 30 #1 Hits dips slightly from No. 35 to No. 37 on the Top Country Albums chart.<\/p>\n<p><a class=\"embed-base color-body color-body-border link-embed embed-0\" href=\"https:\/\/www.forbes.com\/sites\/hughmcintyre\/2026\/05\/05\/elvis-presley-charts-a-new-top-10-album-and-nearly-returns-to-no-1\/\" target=\"_blank\" aria-label=\"Elvis Presley Charts A New Top 10 Album And Nearly Returns To No. 1\" data-ga-track=\"forbesEmbedly:https:\/\/www.forbes.com\/sites\/hughmcintyre\/2026\/05\/05\/elvis-presley-charts-a-new-top-10-album-and-nearly-returns-to-no-1\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">ForbesElvis Presley Charts A New Top 10 Album And Nearly Returns To No. 1By Hugh McIntyre<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Elvis Presley reaches the top 10 on Billboard&#8217;s Vinyl Albums chart again as Epic: Elvis Presley In Concert&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":478134,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[264],"tags":[18,3584,209406,209407,209404,209411,197175,209405,209408,209409,209410,117,19,17,337],"class_list":{"0":"post-478133","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-music","8":"tag-eire","9":"tag-elvis-presley","10":"tag-elvis-presley-2026","11":"tag-elvis-presley-billboard","12":"tag-elvis-presley-charts","13":"tag-elvis-presley-epic","14":"tag-elvis-presley-epic-soundtrack","15":"tag-elvis-presley-forbes","16":"tag-elvis-presley-movie","17":"tag-elvis-presley-movie-soundtrack","18":"tag-elvis-presley-movie-vinyl","19":"tag-entertainment","20":"tag-ie","21":"tag-ireland","22":"tag-music"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@ie\/116551825840983616","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/478133","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=478133"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/478133\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/478134"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=478133"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=478133"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=478133"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
