From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Elvis Presley confirmed his place as the king of pop yesterday when a remix of a forgotten song stormed to the top of the charts.
The success of "A Little Less Conversation" gives Elvis his 18th British number-one hit, surpassing even the Beatles. The song has been remixed by a Dutch DJ called JXL, whose real name is Tom Hokenburg. He was previously known as Junkie XL but, he said, "Elvis's estate did not want any connection with the word junkie."
It is the first time the estate has allowed a remix of one of the singer's recordings, an obscure track that first appeared in one of Elvis's movies and as the B-side to his 1968 single, "Almost in Love". JXL's remix is the most played pre-released tune on radio and the soundtrack to Nike's World Cup advertisement featuring the former Manchester United star Eric Cantona.
