The song hit #1 on the Billboard charts the week ending November 3, 1956, remaining in the position for 5 weeks and reached no. 11 on the charts in the UK. “Love Me Tender” also reached number three for three weeks on the R&B chart. It was also an achievement as “Love Me Tender” succeeded another Presley single, “Hound Dog/Don’t Be Cruel” at #1. This occurrence marked two important events in Billboard history. During this time, Elvis accomplished another record at the time; the longest consecutive stay at number one by a single artist, sixteen weeks, though this was tied by Boyz II Men in 1994 and stood for eight years until being surpassed by R&B singer Usher in 2004 who spent 19 weeks at the top of the charts.

This version was ranked #437 on Rolling Stone’s list of the 500 Greatest Songs of All Time.

In 1968, Presley recorded a 52-second track entitled “Violet (Flower of N.Y.U.)” for the soundtrack of the film The Trouble with Girls. Unreleased until after Presley’s death, the song used the same melody as “Aura Lee”, the source song for “Love Me Tender”.

Although Presley never re-recorded “Love Me Tender” in a studio setting, two live recordings of the song were released on the albums: NBC-TV Special (1968) and Elvis: As Recorded at Madison Square Garden (1972), with additional performances from concert and television appearances being released after Presley’s death. The song was also performed in the Golden Globe-winning concert film Elvis on Tour (1972).

The title track of Gaye’s landmark 1973 album of the same name; it was written by Marvin Gaye and producer Ed Townsend. “Let’s Get It On” became Gaye’s most successful single for Motown and one of his most well-known songs. With the help of the song’s sexually-explicit content, “Let’s Get It On” helped give Gaye a reputation as a sex icon during its initial popularity.

It’s easy to think of all sorts of crazy things to get your girl back. Right after a break up she’s the only thing on your mind. You can’t even function in day to day life you’re hurting so bad. So you develop a plan that seems sure to work. You’ll go where she is with another attractive girl by your side.

She will be jealous you’re with someone else and take you back in an instant. After parading the girl around to get your ex back you go home and wait for the results. You find you keep waiting and there is neither a call or text message to you from your ex girlfriend.

This seemed like a sound approach at the time, but why didn’t it work? Creating jealousy can be done in lots of different ways, but few seem more effective than seeing them see you. You would think it would be so powerful she’d be falling over herself to take you back. While the intent was certainly there for what you wanted to create, the execution actually destroyed it’s chances of success.

One reason why this did not work is because your ex may have accepted you’ve moved on. This was definitely not what you wanted her to think, but if she sees there is no reason to stay interested, due to making her jealous, she may actually move on as well.

This tactic can also make you look petty and desperate as in can break the rules of engagement, so to speak. Before you resort to tactics like jealousy you need to be absolutely sure nothing else will work, or nothing else HAS worked.

A lot of lingering personal issues between you and her need to be cleared up before flaunting another girl in front of her. Even if ALL avenues of getting her back have failed, using jealousy may simply be the thing that seals the relationships fate as unsavable.

Jealousy doesn’t work mainly because of it’s negative nature. It’s difficult to rebuild something when you’re also trying to manipulate her emotions to get her to take you back. She is much more likely to push you away and may not want to talk to you after trying to make her jealous.

No one likes to be manipulated, and if you really are interested in getting your girl back for the right reasons, you won’t resort to this sort of tactic. There’s plenty of ways to get her back that don’t involve throwing mud.

If you’ve been in a relationship for a long time a break up can be very difficult to deal with. You want a second chance with them but don’t know how they’ll react. The prospect of the unknown can make many people not attempt to get their ex back at all. That may seem hard to believe with how you much you want them back now, but the moment of truth can be a scary thing for some.

There’s no reason to stress about this if you already know what works, take action, and do it.

Some of these may seem obvious, but that’s because sometimes the simplest of things can have a big effect. One small change can effect something further down the line and help put your plan into motion. By using a combination of these or all of them you can greatly increase their power and really get her noticing you quickly.

1. A night out with your friends. You’ll find you need this anyway, but an effective way to get your ex back is to party with your friends for a night or two. You need to try to have some fun and word could get back to her about how “good” you’re taking the breakup.

2. Keep looking good. Don’t let the breakup cause you to become lazy and unkempt. Keep your appearance up and your ex will notice the confidence that also comes with looking good.

3. Workout. This goes hand-in-hand with looking good, but working out is also very therapeutic and helps you work through the pain of the breakup in its own way.

4. The no contact rule. Unless you can’t otherwise avoid it, have no contact with your ex for around a month. This will give you both time to simmer down and think about the relationship. This break period is one of the most important steps in getting your ex to come back to you.

5. Apologize to your ex. Your ex needs to know that you’re on their side no matter what. The apology has to be sincere and heartfelt otherwise your ex may get nothing out of it and remain distant. It doesn’t matter if you think you were right or wrong in the argument the main goal of the apology is so your ex will understand you’ll be there and support them, even through rough times like this.

6. Start a new hobby. For awhile you’re going to need to distract your mind from your ex in order to think clearer later. A new hobby is a perfect way to divert your mind this way. This isn’t a sprint, it’s a marathon to get your ex back, so while you’re thinking it over you can give your mind a well needed rest by learning something new.

7. Plan! It’s vitally important you have a plan to get your ex back. Deciding you’re going to make it up as you go along or “wing it” is a terrible idea that can spawn some unneeded and unwanted fights that can only push you further away from your ex. You also need to stick to it and see it through fighting through discouragement if it doesn’t seem to be working at first.

There’s more ways than this to get your ex to come back to you and even ways to get them to chase you instead. For them to work you’ve got to put yourself in the right mindset and know you’re going to succeed. Not everyone succeeds in getting their ex back, but armed with these tips you’ve already increased your chances more than most people out there.
