It is estimated that Elvis Presley has sold over one billion record units worldwide, more than anyone in record industry history.
In America alone, Elvis has had 141 different albums and singles that have been certified gold, platinum or multi-platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA), with more certifications expected as research into his past record sales continues and as current sales go on.
Research is also underway to document his record sales achievements in other countries.
It is estimated that 40% of Elvis' total record sales have been outside the United States.
