Elvis sings The Wonderful World Of Christmas is a
1971 album by Elvis Presley, and Elvis' second and final Christmas
album. The album was released in October 1971, followed by the
single from the album "Merry Christmas Baby" / "O Come All Ye
Faithful" released in November 1971. This album was a top seller and
topped the Billboard Holiday Albums Chart, and would have charted
high on the Billboard 200 but from 1963 to 1973, holiday albums were
not allowed to chart. It did not have the commercial appeal of
Elvis’ first Christmas album but over the years, it has become a
perennial favorite. It was certified Gold on November 4, 1977,
Platinum on December 1, 1977, 2x Platinum on May 20, 1988 and 3x
Platinum on July 15, 1999 by the RIAA. (wikipedia
