Both good and bad. It explains why more and more EP releases now is flooding the market, and when something is flooding the market you get -inflation with decreased value for EP in the end. A possible backlash that also is due to medias attention on the same ol stories on birthday/death day anniversarys etc. It´s like the Colonel said, -Too much exposure is like sunburn, -it can hurt (!)

Yes, but he's had more releases than any other artist in the 21st century too. So, no surprises on this set of stats.

There must be a typo error here. Elvis has sold over 1,500,000 singles in this century.
Allc: Just under 700,000, 2005 Singles: 700,000 (close to 40,000 each on average), Rubberneckin: 60,000, That's All Right: ???, 2007 Singles: Close to 70,000 (including My Babe Left Me). That does not include downloads of in The Ghetto and others. Also, didn't Burning Love and Heartbreak Hotel sell as imports?? Tiny quantities I know...
