LEIGH Elvis fans, and there are many, will be thrilled that their hero has topped the charts 25 years after his death -- and ended the Beatles reign as the joint most successful chart act in history with 17 no 1 hits.

El, whose re-mixed "A Little Less Conversation" topped the charts this week, thanks to a bit of help from the World Cup and Nike, has now really become the king.

And he definitely lives on through his daughter Lisa Marie and her children Danielle and Ben who are his spitting image.
