This is a list of the songs recorded by elvis presley between his first demos at the sun studios in 1953 and his final concert on june 26 1977 at the market square arena in indianapolis indiana.
Many tracks had their first commercial release on singles or ep extended play. It accumulated 983 points qualifying it for only 30th place on elvis s hit list. In august 1992 he was awarded with 110 gold platinum and multi platinum albums and singles the largest presentation of gold and platinum record awards in history. But i actually count more than that if one looks at all the billboard charts.
There is no easy way to know for sure without buying all of this albums but it s around 710. Each record had about 12 songs on it so that s roughly 550 songs just off of his full length studio albums. If you count those soundtrack albums he did in the sixties which are generally not all that good but have moments of brilliance now and then he did about 44 studio albums usually with 12 songs each. In the usa when people talk about a 1 hit they usually mean on the billboard charts.
Furthermore he released well. Ever wondered how many songs did the king of rock and roll write. In an interview in 1957 he said i never wrote a song in my life. A couple of elvis records that are not among his top 25 biggest hits deserve special mention.

Album debut refers to each track s first appearance on lp. The first is one of his 14 1 singles that did not make the cut. Well you will be surprised.
Elvis recorded around 710 songs. This is an approximate figure because presley recorded a huge quantity of released and unreleased material. The article continues after the ad. If you include the soundtrack albums elvis had about 45 studio albums.
I ve never even had an idea for a song.
