The late King of Pop made more money over the past year than any other musician or actor, dead or alive. He earned more than the other 12 deceased stars on the list combined.
Elvis Presley was listed at #2 (#4 last year). "The King of Rock 'n' Roll's estate pulled down $60 million in the 12-month period, thanks to Graceland admissions and a heavily hyped Cirque du Soleil show in Las Vegas. The estate's portfolio of more than 200 licensing and merchandise deals got a nice boost from the late star's 75th birthday celebration as well."
To place on this year's list, a deceased celebrity needed to earn at least $5 million between October 1, 2009, and October 1, 2010.

Buckley Jr.); rock stars (Kris Kristofferson, Bono); starlets (Ann Margret, Barbara Eden), Peter Guralnick and many others. Entertaining and illuminating, this anthology shows why people continue to be “all shook up” over Elvis.
The Complete Collection Delayed
Finally got an email update on why the boxset is slightly delayed. The publisher Kramerica Industries had a mishap at the printers. They didn't figure in the actual size of the book with the "fold-out" legs, so when putting the package together they found the book wouldn't fit into the custom box. So the first 200 or so books had to be fixed, as in the legs were removed.
Elvis Jukebox
Due for release sometime in 2010 in Canada was the CD "Jukebox". But prior to it's release the CD was cancelled.
ELV1S - 30 #1 Hits
Released earlier in 2010 was a cardboard-sleeve edition of the "ELV1S 30 #1 Hits" compilation.
