Suspicious Minds has been voted as the UK’s favourite Elvis Presley song by BBC Radio 2 listeners. It comes after listeners were asked to vote for Your Ultimate Elvis Song to compile a chart of the top 40 most popular singles by Elvis, with more than 100,000 votes cast, to mark what would have been the king of rock and roll’s 90th birthday on January 8, 2025.
In The Ghetto finished second in the poll, while If I Can Dream came third, Always On My Mind came fourth, and in fifth was Can’t Help Falling In Love. Hosted by Vernon Kay, Your Ultimate Elvis Song will count down the top 40 chart and feature words from Priscilla Presley, Elvis’s ex-wife.
In the show, Presley, 79, says: “Hello everyone this is Priscilla Presley, and I want to thank you. “To everyone who has voted and shown this outpouring of love ahead of such a special anniversary, it’s wonderful knowing just how much Elvis’s music means to you all and that he lives on through the beautiful memories that remind you of him and his amazing career, and I send you all my love.
“To pick out one track from his vast catalogue is such a big decision. But between you, that’s what you’ve done. So let’s play Your Ultimate Elvis Song.”. Listeners were asked to vote for their five favourite songs from the singer’s 90 UK top 20 singles.
