KING of rock and roll Elvis Presley topped the British album charts for a second week Friday with his 12th U.K. number 1.

    Nearly 40 years after his death, Presley became the male solo artist with the most U.K. number 1 albums last week with “If I Can Dream,” a collection of his classics featuring orchestral reworkings by the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra.

    The album notched up over 88,600 combined chart sales, giving him the second-fastest selling album of the year behind Noel Gallagher’s High Flying Birds’ “Chasing Yesterday,” the Official Charts Company said.

    New entries Little Mix’s “Get Weird” and Ellie Goulding’s “Delirium” took second and third place on the album chart, pushing Rod Stewart’s “Another Country” down from second to fourth place.

    There was another trip down memory lane this week with a deluxe reissue of the Beatles’ album “1” entering at number five.
