In addition to the excellent Chart information Elvis has been awarded PLATINUM upgrades by the RIAA for the following albums:
1. 'Elvis Presley' (LPM 1254) and
2. 'Elvis' (LPM 1382).
We all know that they have sold much more but that will do for a start. Great news though.
When it comes to number of titles having received gold and platinum no one comes near Elvis and no one ever will. Add to this his foreign awards. And hopefully some day they will find out how many records The King has sold. Still it´s nice to see FOUR Elvis albums in Billboard 200. In 2011!!
We need to unite? Thats funny. Who are we but fans and you know what most of the world thinks about Elvis fanatics. Just read some of the posts on this website. Who needs to do something is Priscilla /Lisa Marie / Sony and/or the estate. They are the ones with clout and may get the ear of the right people.
