how many number one hits did elvis presley have
Elvis Presley singles discography Both of these claims were disputed by music historian Joel Whitburn and Elvis Presley Enterprises. Whitburn lists Elvis as having 18 number 1 hits (placing him in a tie with Mariah Carey at that time) and 38 top ten hits (one more than Madonna at that time).[8] Elvis Presley Enterprises claims Elvis had 40 top ten hits.[9] The differences depend on whether a double-sided hit single is counted as one hit single, or two hit songs.
