As an artist, Elvis sold over 1 billion records. Yes, I did say 1 billion!
He had:
"...no less than 149 songs to appear on Billboard’s Hot 100 Pop Chart in America.
Of these, 114 were in the top forty, 40 were in the top ten, and 18 went to number one.
His number one singles spent a total of 80 weeks at number one.
He has also had over 90 charted albums with ten of them reaching number one.
These figures are only for the pop charts, and only in America.
He was also a leading artist in the American country, R&B, and gospel fields, and his chart success in other countries was substantial."
In the US, Elvis had "...had 150 different albums and singles that have been certified gold."
This is pretty good for a kid born in Mississippi! For more on Elvis, check out Trying to Get to You! It's a pretty good post about the man they call "The King"!
"Blue moon, blue moon, blue moon,keep shining bright.
Blue moon, keep on shining bright,
You're gonna bring me back my baby tonight,
Blue moon, keep shining bright.
I said blue moon of Kentucky keep on shining,
Shine on the one that's gone and left me blue.
