Elvis was about ten years ahead of The Beatles. Interesting side note. In those days getting to appear on the Ed Sullivan show was a guarantee to launch a career. There was a country singer trying to get national attention that appeared on the Sullivan show the same night Elvis Presley did. Of course Elvis so overshadowed the guy that everyone forgot about him. He kept trying and finally landed a gig on the Sullivan show again. But, as luck would have it, that was the night the Beatles first performed in America. So, once again the guy was out performed and forgotten. I used to know his name but can't remember it anymore.

Who has had more hit singles take that or beatles?
The Beatles have sold more records than anyone else.
What was elvis's 1st UK number 1 hit?
No Elvis song replaced a Beatles number one.
How many singles did The Beatles sell?
As far as #1 hit singles, they have recorded 27 hits in their career.
Who holds the record for most number one songs?
The Beatles have 20#1's in the US, Elvis 21 in the UK but three are counted twice and one is a remix by another artist so in reality the Beatles and Elvis are still tied at 17 in the UK. Overall the Beatles have the most #1's. Actually if you are looking for who has the most #1's ever, any genre, it would be George Strait, who to date has had 57 #1 songs.
Who are the anti-Beatles?
Although many will say the Rolling Stones, they were good friends. The Beatles even gave them their first big hit with "I Wanna Be Your Man" (the Beatles later did this song themselves on Meet the Beatles). I would say that Elvis Presley was very 'anti-Beatle' (If that's what you mean). He hated these guys and even went to Richard Nixon and asked if he could get them off the charts! So I would say that Elvis Presley was the anti-Beatles.
