The Top Ten Hits is exactly what it says it is -- every Top Ten hit
that Elvis Presley ever had during the course of his career, from "Heartbreak
Hotel" in 1956 to "Burning Love" in 1972. Even though this
double-disc set covers a lot of ground, there's a huge amount of
terrific material that isn't included on the compilation. There's
none of his Sun recordings, none of his gritty blues, none of his
gospel, precious little of his country recordings, and many great
singles for RCA aren't included. Still, the 38 songs on The Top Ten
Hits are absolutely first-rate -- there's no arguing with "I Want
You, I Need You, I Love You," "Don't Be Cruel," "Hound Dog," "Love
Me Tender," "Love Me," "All Shook Up," "Jailhouse Rock," "One
Night," "A Fool Such as I," "(Marie's the Name) His Latest Flame," "Can't
Help Falling in Love," "Little Sister," "Return to Sender," "Suspicious
Minds," and many, many others. It's the perfect way to start an
Elvis collection and, for many casual fans, the only set to own. (AllMusic
