Good week for the old school - as well as Elvis, also new entries for Tears For Fears, The Wonder Stuff and the House Of Love, the latter of whom were last in the chart in 1990.
Charlotte Hatherley crashes in at #5, obviously a contender to be the next #1 - she used to be in Ash though I'm not sure exactly when she left the band and therefore whether she was still there when they had their only NM #1 in 2001 with "Shining Light". But she definitely would have appeared on the album 1977. She once joined the Clint Boon Experience on stage in 1999 at Brixton Academy when they were supporting Travis. (She may have appeared on other gigs as well but that was the one I went to).
Emiliana Torrini charted previously back in 2000. In between she co-wrote Kylie's UK #1 hit "Slow" (an NM top 20 hit).
I wasn't very much into Kate Bush's "Hounds Of Love" album and none of the singles from it reached the NM chart, not even "Running Up That Hill". The Futureheads now take the title track from that album into the NM chart. Kate did manage to get her second NM #1 in 1986 however, sharing the credit though with Peter Gabriel on "Don't Give Up".
For Elvis, (Marie's The Name) His Latest Flame was a return to Rock 'N' Roll after the little diversion into operatic reinterpretations (It's Now Or Never and Surrender) and soft ballads (Are You Lonesome Tonight and Wooden Heart). The guitar riff is slightly reminiscent of Buddy Holly's "Not Fade Away" and was later adopted by Johnny Marr for the Smiths "Rusholme Ruffians". In a live version (which appears on the album Rank) they medleyed "Rusholme Ruffians" into "His Latest Flame". "Little Sister" is a more bluesy rock 'n' roll song with a twangy guitar (the Shadows could have backed him on it) and perhaps also a bit reminiscent of "Shakin' All Over". It's not the first time an Elvis song sounded similar to Buddy Holly - "I Need Your Love Tonight" is very reminiscent of Buddy and in fact it replaced "It Doesn't Matter Anymore" at #1. We can only speculate what path Elvis's career might have taken had Buddy Holly not died so early on.
