Forbes magazine has checked Elvis' recent chart action. The magazine wrote: Elvis Presley is often spoken about as one of the earliest rock stars. He’s largely recognized for his contributions to the rock genre, but throughout his career, he worked in more than just one style. His music fits under several different labels, and that’s evident as ELVIS again rises on a number of Billboard charts.

'ELV1S 30 #1 Hits' one of the superstar’s most successful compilations, is surging on three Billboard rankings this week. Two of them are genre-specific, and the fact that he appears on both of them at the same time, and with the same album, speaks volumes about Elvis' music and how diverse his catalog is.

That set jumps up 16 spots on the Billboard 200 this time around. Presley’s compilation surges from No. 196 nearly at the very bottom of the 200 to No. 180.
In the past week, 'ELV1S 30 #1 Hits' has sold another 8,310 equivalent units in US, up a little more than 4% from the period before, which shows a noticeable uptick in listens and sales.

The same project moves up three spaces to No. 44 on the Top Rock & Alternative Albums chart. This isn’t shocking, as he is one of the most famous rock musicians in history… but somewhat surprisingly, the title is also present on another, very different tally.

'ELV1S 30 #1 Hits' also manages a three-rung climb on the Top Country Albums chart. His title lands at No. 33 this week.
Presley’s compilation has ruled the Top Country Albums chart in the past. Elv1s: 30 #1 Hits has never conquered the Top Rock & Alternative Albums ranking, Though it has peaked at No. 5.
