Forbes noted: Elvis Presley is one of those artists whose popularity never seems to diminish. No matter how many years go by, the superstar remains a favorite of millions, and the songs and albums he recorded during his lifetime continue to sell and stream well. There aren’t many names who can maintain that kind of success decades after their passing, but Presley isn’t the average musician, or even the everyday star.
For several years now, the consumption of Presley’s biggest hits has been keeping one of his compilations afloat. Sales and streams of many of his most popular tunes are reflected in the success of the 'ELV1S 30#1 Hits' compilation on the charts.
'ELV1S 30#1 Hits' is up on two Billboard charts this week. The compilation is climbing as consumption of that title, as well as the dozens of tunes on its tracklist–is up. In the past tracking week, the beloved title moved another 8,483 equivalent units in the U.S. alone. That’s up 2.6% from the period before.
That uptick in streams and sales helps the collection rise on the Billboard 200, the main albums chart in America. This frame, 'ELV1S 30#1 Hits' lifts from No. 184 to No. 176.
Over on the Top Rock and Alternative Albums ranking, 'ELV1S 30#1 Hits' also experiences a surge, though one that’s not quite as impressive. On that genre-specific roster, 'ELV1S 30#1 Hits' improves from No. 47 to No. 41, nearly cracking the top 40 once more.
'ELV1S 30#1 Hits' is still far from its peak on either of those two tallies, but the fact that it’s rising after so much time is laudable. The Presley collection once controlled the Billboard 200, adding to his list of many rulers on that tally. On the rock-only list, it’s topped out at No. 5.
