Elvis Presley has been revealed as the number one most requested artist on HRB of 2018.
The chart was compiled from requests collected at Basingstoke and North Hants Hospital, Basingfield Court Care Home and Blenheim Court Care Home from 1 January to the start of December. Last year it was Ed Sheeran at the top but Elvis had been at the top previously.
Presenter Neil Ogden revealed the chart in a special 3 hour show which also offered a prize to someone who correctly guessed the number 1.
The chart is below. The full updated chart for the whole of the year will be published in January and all the request data for 2018 go towards the compilation of the National Request Chart which will also be revealed next month.
