This book will give the reader a unique opportunity to see Elvis Presley's chart placings that have appeared for more than 45 years in Billboard magazine and over 30 years in Cash Box magazine. Concerning Billboard, we will list every Elvis Presley single on the Pop, Country, Easy Listening, Rhythm and Blues, and seasonal Christmas charts, plus chart information on Under The 100 Pop Singles (songs that charted below 100). Also included, but not a Billboard chart are 100 Bound Pop Singles (songs that debuted at 100 or more but eventually charted into the Hot 100). Beginning in mid-1957 to 1958, (see history of the Billboard charts) Jockeys, Best Sellers, and Jukeboxes were being discontinued on the Pop, Country, and Rhythm and Blues Singles. This left the Pop, Country, and R & B singles with only one chart. The Top Pop Single chart changed its name to the famous Hot 100 on August 4, 1958. We will also list every Elvis Presley album that ranked on the Pop, Country, and Christmas charts. On all singles and album charts we list the chart debut date, the number of weeks on the chart, and of course, the peak position, plus recording information and other pertinent facts. Finally, (and this pertains only to the Top / Hot 100 Pop Single chart) we list the position the song debuted on. In the second half of the book, we will be listing Elvis singles and albums that made the Billboard Year End Reviews in all musical categories for the most popular single or album of that individual year. Two short lived charts included in the book were Best Selling Sheet Music chart which began March 24, 1956 and ended June 17, 1957 and the Best Selling Pop EP's chart which began October 7, 1957 and ended October 10, 1960. We will also do a summation of Elvis the live per-former as well as his ranking in various categories of musical achievements. Additionally, we will be listing Elvis chart placings as determined by Cash Box magazine, including a significant amount of Cash Box reviews. Rounding out the book will be a complete discography, a revised list of gold, platinum, and multi-platinum singles, EP's, albums, Grammy awards, and chart index.
