Hugh McIntyre noted for >>> Forbes: Throughout the half-century he’s been a superstar, Elvis Presley has seen dozens of albums come and go on the Billboard charts. He released an incredible amount of music during his lifetime, and in the decades since he passed, his estate has continued to share unreleased music and repackaged favorites.

These days, one title in Presley’s discography stands out as the most successful—at least for the time being. Elv1s: 30 #1 Hits has remained the go-to compilation for countless fans to stream and buy the tunes they love the most. It’s that set that can almost always be found on at least one chart in the U.S.—and sometimes on multiple lists at once.

Elv1s: 30 #1 Hits reappears on a pair of charts this week. It’s not new to either of them, it’s already spent well over 100 frames on the two tallies, but it does manage a comeback, as it wasn’t present on either roster last time around.

Presley’s compilation lands highest on the Top Rock & Alternative Albums chart when looking at where it returns. On that list, it refreshes at No. 46 on the 50-spot ranking of the most-consumed rock and alternative projects in the country.

At the same time, Elv1s: 30 #1 Hits is back on the Billboard 200, the company’s list of the most-consumed albums and EPs of any style. On that chart, Presley reappears at No. 174.

In the past tracking period, Luminate reports that Elv1s: 30 #1 Hits moved a little less than 8,700 equivalent units. Nearly 700 of those are pure purchases, while fans listening on platforms like Spotify and Apple Music make up much of the rest of those thousands of units.

As it makes its way back to both the Billboard 200 and Top Rock & Alternative Albums chart, Elv1s: 30 #1 Hits can also be found on one other list in the U.S. The compilation rises 14 spaces on the Top Country Albums tally, settling at No. 33 this week.
