For the first time among all these Elvis re-issues, the single entering is actually a new entry, having previously charted, and in fact "Way Down" spent one week at NM #1 back in 1977 following his death. It is also a great song, though it would possibly have not even reached the UK top 30 had he remained alive - at the time the main chart was a top 30 and the single had spent 2 weeks in the chart climbing from 46 to 42, though that didn't necessarily rule out its climbing further. His previous single at the time "Moody Blue" had reached as high as UK #6 and NM #4 a few months earlier, and he's also had a top 10 hit "Suspicion" which had made a very slow climb to get to #9 - entered the UK top 50 (according to British Hit Singles) on 25 December 1976 but entered the top 40 at #24 on 15 January (3 weeks later) then 20, 13 and 9. Suspicion was actually Elvis's first ever NM hit and peaked at #11, so Way Down was Elvis's 3rd NM hit.
The Bees get to #2 for the second time - Wash In The Rain also peaked at #2 last year, peaking behind Iron Maiden. I don't think they'll manage to get to #1 this time around though.
