For the weeks of October 21 and 28, 1972, "Burning Love" rose to #2
on the Billboard Hot 100. However, it reached #1 on Cashbox’s top 40
charts for the week of November 11, which gave him 20 US #1 hits. It
was Elvis’s 40th and last Top Ten hit on the US charts. It was also one
of the last real rock songs in the last years of his life; from 1972-1977.
