Elvis American Singer

To this day, Presley remains the best-selling solo artist, with sales estimates ranging from 600 million to 1 billion sales.

Presley holds the records for most songs charting in Billboard‘s top 40 and top 100: 152, according to chart statistician Joel Whitburn, 139 according to Presley historian Adam Victor. Presley’s rankings for top ten and number-one hits vary depending on how the double-sided “Hound Dog/Don’t Be Cruel” and “Don’t/I Beg of You” singles, which precede the inception of Billboard‘s unified Hot 100 chart, are analyzed.
