That’s really an awesome feat for an artist that’s been gone nearly 50 years and, as you mentioned, has had numerous compilation albums along the way.

Just think how many of those albums included, for example, Hound Dog or All Shook Up or Suspicious Minds ?

Elvis Presley Reaches A Remarkable Milestone On Billboard’s Albums Chart
Elvis Presley scored dozens of huge hits during his lifetime. Some of them predated the Billboard charts as they exist today, so not all of his beloved singles count toward his official history, though fans still know and love them.

The late singer’s Elv1s: 30 #1 Hits features most of Presley’s most famous tunes, including both those that reached the Billboard charts and those that didn’t get a chance to, as they were released too early. Sales and streams of all those smashes, and the collection in general, have kept it afloat on one ranking for years, and now it’s reached a very special milestone.

Elv1s: 30 #1 Hits has now spent 200 weeks on the Billboard 200. The compilation hits that number this frame, as it once again holds on and finds space on Billboard’s namesake ranking of the most-consumed albums in the country.

Presley’s greatest hits set marks his first project to make it to 200 weeks on the Billboard 200. It’s noteworthy that he only reaches that number decades after his passing, and that Elv1s: 30 #1 Hits has earned all of its turns on the competitive tally since his death.

Only one other collection from Presley has managed to rack up triple-digit weeks on the tally. The Essential Elvis Presleyhas thus far managed to land somewhere on the Billboard 200 for 107 weeks, though it hasn’t been seen anywhere on the 200-spot list for some time.
This week, Elv1s: 30 #1 Hits makes a home at No. 184 on the Billboard 200. It falls slightly, as last time around it appeared at No. 178. Luminate reports that the project moved just under 8,700 equivalent album units last tracking frame. That’s down less than 1% from the period before, as consumption of the title usually doesn’t shift much during the average week.

As Elv1s: 30 #1 Hits helps the late rocker reach a new best showing on the Billboard 200, the same compilation can also be found on two other charts, which is often the case. The set falls from No. 44 to No. 50 on the Top Rock & Alternative Albums ranking, and it could disappear soon, as it currently sits in last place. Over on the Top Country Albums list, the release keeps at No. 35.
