When I was a kid I just liked what I liked. I never thought about whether my parents liked it.

You can "over-analyze" Vince !
There are of course some people who buy things JUST BECAUSE it's in the charts !

I was wondering about the Elvis effect. Kids don't actually tend to like or buy songs their parents like but the current generation possibly haven't had much exposure to him due to their parents generation rejecting Elvis cos their parents like him!!??
So to today's kids Elvis is new and not something their parents liked so they can do?
Or maybe I just think about things too much!!

I know lots of kids who are into Elvis, and some who have just picked up on him during this anniversary. Yes, kids are buying Elvis tracks.

Those two particularly seem to hint at the youth element buying them
I doubt that !
It's be the "old brigade" who already have the tracks at least a dozen times.
Aren't they milking the catalogue (as most of it is out of copyright very soon).
