Wenn diese CD ein Nr1 Hit werden soll, müssen zwangsläufig Klassiker draufsein. Allerdings fände ich es sehr schade, wenn es Überschneidungen zur E#1 geben würde.

30 More Essential Hits
*chart placements used are from the decade boxed sets. Essential Sun recordings, U.S. Top Ten, U.K. Top Ten, U.S. Top 20, Country chart position. Viva Las Vegas, while not in the U.S. Top 20, was a minor hit in the U.K. and I believe many, especially younger casual fans, associate this song with Elvis almost as much as Hound Dog and Love Me Tender. (Year in parenthesis) is date the song was recorded. Release date is U.S. unless the song was only a U.K. release such as I Just Can't Help Believin'.

Allerdings würde mir es besser gefallen, wenn es noch einen Remix als Single gäbe. Der müßte dann allerdings ein eher unbekanntes Lied sein um Erfolg zu haben. Und den dann noch als Bonussong (Konzept wie gehabt) auf die CD.
