The re-release of Jailhouse Rock looks likely to knock Steve Brookstein off the number one spot. Elvis fans have been snapping up copies of the single all week in a bid to get the King to number one. It will become his 19th chart-topper - and the 999th number one since the singles chart was launched in 1952. EPA/PA UK AND IRELAND OUT

The Los Angeles County coroner has ruled Michael Jackson's death a homicide, a law enforcement official said on 24 August 2009. Jackson's blood contained a lethal level of propofol, a powerful anesthetic normally excluded for use in hospitals, when he was found unresponsive in his home on 25 June 2009, according to a search warrant released on 24 August. The document unsealed on 24 August allowed officials to raid the Houston offices and storage facility of Dr. Conrad Murray July 2009. Murray is facing manslaughter charges in Jackson's death.
