little mix 2 weeks at the top which is great as it is the best album out at the moment, as for elvis well he had his day many times over and this album well king of rock 'n' roll with an orchestra that's cash in.. it aint original. hank Williams sr. now he was original as was the late great johnny cash. elvis just copied others and this put an orchestra to his music is such a joke, cash in that in America his home country no one is buying. if yous love elvis buy his good stuff from the 50's and 60's not a poor cash in album.

Elvis is a rip off of Hank Williams? Well i guess that means Little Mix are just a rip off of The Spice Girls then.

And Glory Days is the best album out at the moment? Don't make me laugh. If you mean best album released recently then Weeknd and Kate Bush absolutely trash it in terms of quality.

everyone copies someone. as for the weeknd that is garbage and rap itself is nothing but the lowest form of music full stop. such music is vulgar nonsense.

'Everyone copies someone'. So you agree that your criticism of Elvis is therefore redundant?

And Weeknd is more pop/r'n'b than hip hop. I do have an issue with some of the misogynist lyrics but he's more impressive than the soulless Little Mix trash with their porny lyrics aimed at their 10 year old fanbase. Because all 10 years want to hear songs containing lines about faking .

more so that people make out elvis was original. also little mix fans are older and wiser than what you seem to think. I love all kinds of music its what makes music so good listening to different varying styles.

Elvis aimait Noël et la raison est qu'il doit se trouver en tête de tous les hit parades mondiaux.Elvis est divin avec son nouvel orchestre philharmonique.Les disques d'or vont pleuvoir, les fans vont déposer son disque sous tous les sapins et le réveillon de Noël sera magique d'amour pour tout le monde.Oui Elvis numero un.Le roi de la chanson nous comble d'amour avec the wonder of you.La lumière divine d'Elvis nous observe....

Sad to see Kate Bush not get #1, but glad to see Little Mix at #2, and The Weeknd getting only #5.

Kate was at#1 on last update but now she´s "only" #4. I´d have wanted her back at#1 because she deserves it!!
