The King recorded his first Christmas album in sessions of September 5-7, 1957 at Radio Recorders in Hollywood. It was simply entitled Elvis' Christmas Album and was released in October 1957. It initially hit No. 1 for four weeks on Billboard's pop album chart and revisited the chart due to strong sales in subsequent holiday seasons through 1962.
