Elvis Has Left The Feud by 42fish

It would be stupid to cheat with only a few responses. It would only pay to do so if you were one of the last people to post a reply so you can then get all the top responses to ALL of the questions.

He posted 42 as fact. That eliminates that question. I do not know how many people wait until the end to post looking for an advantage. I always assumed it was rare.
One person who has won frequently posts early and late. He apparently is just good at the game. I have no reason to believe there is rampant cheating and I am not saying there is. But it would be wise not to post an answer as fact during a feud.
The error was someone posting a single answer. It was hard to avoid noticing it as you scrolled down.
PS the Biltmore and the Vanderbilt estate are the same aren’t they?

3. Hound Dog
4. Suspicious Minds
5. Kentucky Rain
6. Blue Hawaii
7. Blue Hawaii
8. Ava Gardner
9. The Stray Cats
10. Biltmore

Obviously looked ahead and purposely put the wrong answer for #2 to avoid controversy.

I regret doing it because of the controversy it’s caused. But I still don’t believe anyone read my post and then based their answers on it. Because as I pointed out, I posted that 45 was the best answer (which it was at that time). So why would my post have caused people to start guessing 42?

Guessing?

You guys are derailing the thread, and taking up posts with your argument. That means people think the Feud is full, and they won’t post any new answers.

Please start a new thread.

1. How many top ten hits worldwide did Elvis have? No googling on this question.

@Elvis site

Here.
Record Chart Statistics
Elvis has had no less than 149 songs to appear on Billboard’s Hot 100 Pop Chart in America. Of these, 114 were in the top forty, 40 were in the top ten, and 18 went to number one. His number one singles spent a total of 80 weeks at number one. He has also had over 90 charted albums with ten of them reaching number one. These figures are only for the pop charts and only in America. He was also a leading artist in the American country, R&B, and gospel fields, and his chart success in other countries was substantial.

Clearly, I’m not a big Elvis fan. Ah, well, still a fun Feud. Thanks, Rebo and 42fish!

Sorry for causing a trainwreck.

[Queen_Tonya]

I actually dig Elvis, more so than most people my age it seems, anyway. I just don’t know nearly as much about him as I thought.

Fun feud, thanks 42fish and Rebo!

[gonzomax]

Sorry, if I caused trouble.
Sorry i was 23rd. Elvis was in my generation. I don’t think he ever did a good movie though. Formulaic crap.Bad actor.

[Sigmagirl]

@gonzomax

PS the Biltmore and the Vanderbilt estate are the same aren’t they?

I would say for the purpose of this Feud they are, but Cornelius Vanderbilt’s Newport, R.I., estate The Breakers is almost as well known. There also is one in Hyde Park, N.Y., but it doesn’t have a catchy name, unless you just call it “Hyde Park.”

I think everybody here meant Biltmore.

[Little_Nemo]

Ironically, I got lucky on the last question. I misread it and thought it was asking for another named estate owned by a singer. Neverland was the only answer I could come up with - and it turned out to be the best answer. If I had understood it was asking for a named estate in general, I probably would have guessed Mount Vernon and scored no points.

I didn’t even see the single reply.

Besides, it isn’t necessarily the correct ‘answer’ that gets the most replies.

No idea about the Biltmore and Vanderbilts. Probably should have gone with stately Wayne Manor.
