ELV1S 30 #1 HITS is at #36 in Billboard's year-end roundup of the top albums of the year 2002. Quite an achievement, especially considering the fact that E1 did not come out until September of this year and has not yet finished its time on the weekly Top 200 Albums chart. This is his first appearance in the year-end roundup since 1973, when his #1 hit album Elvis: Aloha from Hawaii, via Satellite came in at #28 for the year. ELV1S 30 #1 HITS debuted on Billboard's weekly Top 200 Albums chart this fall with a 3-week run at #1. Recently, it was at #26 on the weekly chart when, primarily as a result of the airing of the Elvis Livesspecial on NBC on Thanksgiving night, it leaped back up to #11, where it now sits for the second week. Thus, Billboard gives it the "pacesetter" designation for being the album currently with the biggest percentage growth in sales. The album also hit #1 on Billboard's country chart, where it now sits at #4, also with the "pacesetter" designation. On the Billboard Music Awards televised on Fox earlier this week, it was acknowledged that Elvis has the record for the longest span of time between an artist's first #1 album and latest #1 album. His first album, Elvis Presley, hit #1 in 1956 and his tenth and latest #1 album, ELV1S 30 #1 HITS, came 46 years later (and 25 years after his death). Elvis, man, rock on witcho bad self.
