The travel site ranked the famed studio after the Empire State Building and ahead of Central Park. The ranking is based on travelers' reviews and awarded to locations that received "a high volume of above-and-beyond reviews and opinions from the Tripadvisor community over a 12-month period," according to the site.
Referred to as the "Birthplace of Rock N' Roll," the studio was the recording site for several legends of music history, including B.B. King, Jerry Lee Lewis, Elvis Presley and Johnny Cash. It was also the site of the "Million Dollar Quartet," a recording of a jam session including Carl Perkins, Presley, Lewis and Cash.
The studio served as the base of operations for Sun Records label head Sam Phillips, who played an instrumental role in launching the careers of several early rock artists.
