From TCM Archives... Elvis Presley's greatest hits collection has become his biggest selling album.
On the eve of what would have been The King's 68th birthday, record firm BMG said Elv1s: 30 No1 hits had beaten his previous best, the Elvis Christmas Album.
His number one hits package has sold more than nine million copies around the world.
The Christmas release - first issued in 1957 and re-released in 1973 - has not yet topped the eight million level.
Darren Henderson of BMG said: "This rounds up a phenomenal year for Elvis Presley proving that his music is indeed timeless.
"A new generation has discovered Elvis Presley and we look forward to continue supporting the influential role that Presley plays in music and culture."
Last year marked the 25th anniversary of Presley's death and saw him notch up a posthumous number one with A Little Less Conversation. It was his 18th number one, edging him ahead of The Beatles' 17.

∙ 12y agoThe "45 record", which is/was known as the biggest marketing blunder in music history as usually a 45 record had an "A side" which was to be a good hit record and the "B side" to be a lesser quality song recorded by the same artist, which had HOUND DOG on one side and DON'T BE CRUEL on the other side.
