ELV1S: 30 #1 Hits is a greatest hits collection
of songs by Elvis Presley. It was released by RCA Records on
September 24, 2002. It is the first Elvis Presley album to feature
the remix of "A Little Less Conversation" by Junkie XL that was
released earlier in the year and reached No. 1 in the UK and
Australia.
When released, ELV1S: 30 #1 Hits was an instant success, going
straight to the top of the albums charts in several countries and
shipping mass quantities around the world. By 2003 the album had
received certifications in more than fifteen regions and had sold
millions of copies worldwide.
ELV1S: 30 #1 Hits was compiled by Ernst Mikael Jorgensen and Roger
Semon using chart data from the pop singles charts in Billboard,
Cashbox, New Musical Express, and Record Retailer. Not all of Elvis'
number ones are included as it is only a one-disc set. It was part
of a massive campaign by RCA and BMG to celebrate Elvis in the 25th
anniversary of his death. (wikipedia
