Elvis still reigns
Elvis Presley is still The King of the UK charts - the iconic singer has spent more weeks in the British music charts than any other band or artist, according to new book British Hit Singles and Albums. The Suspicious Minds hitmaker has spent a total of 2,574 weeks in the British music charts, ahead of closest rival Sir Cliff Richard who has only notched up 1,982 weeks. Legendary British bands Queen and The Beatles took third and fourth place respectively, ahead of Madonna, who is the highest ranking woman, with 1,660 weeks putting her at number five. Sir Elton John, The Shadows, Michael Jackson, David Bowie and Irish rockers U2 complete the top 10.
 
:::Site updates::: New gallery online
With a big thank you to Ale another gallery is online. Did anybody know Roger played with Gary Brooker's 'Band du Lac' at Wintershall on June 11th, 2005? The reason was a charity rock concert set up this year for the benefit of HASTE (Heart and Stroke Trust Endeavour) and in particular the HASTE wing at the Royal Surrey County Hospital. Roger performed "I Want to Break Free" as well as a "Say It's Not True". Click here for a review.
 
  New video online
With a little delay and again with thanks to Dan here's a new video to watch. Queen's iconic performance at Live Aid in July 1985 has been named the world's greatest rock gig in an industry poll (source).
