Elvis Presley's 37 Greatest Hits, From 'hound Dog' To 'suspicious

Elvis Presley is one of the most successful artists in history by the standards of the Billboard Hot 100, even if you don't consider the numerous hits he had before the chart started in 1958. There's a reason they call him The King.

In fact, with seven Hot 100 No. 1 and 25 Top 10 smashes in total, the late legend is one of the few artists ever to have more than 100 songs chart — an elite group otherwise dominated by contemporary musicians like Taylor Swift, Beyoncé, Nicki Minaj , Kanye West and Drake. He was also the first act to hit the triple-digit milestone, doing so in 1975, two years before his death.

But a survey of the Memphis legend's greatest hits wouldn't be complete without including the tracks he made famous before the advent of the Hot 100, some of which are the most iconic songs of his career. Just counting the numbers he racked up on outdated charts like the retired Top 100 or disc jockey, juke box and sales charts brings his total number 1s to 17.

If his quirky personality, eye-popping looks and once-controversial dance moves don't live on in infamy for decades to come, then Presley's buttery voice and cool, classic, avant-garde rock music certainly will. Keep reading to see Elvis' top 37 hits of all time — on the Hot 100 or otherwise — from “Are You Lonesome To-night?” in “Suspicious Minds,” below.

Songs are ranked by peak position on the Billboard Hot 100 and predecessor Top 100 charts and charts ranking Disc Jockey Play, Jukebox and Sales. Ties are broken by weeks at the top position, followed by weeks on the chart, with titles that reached the Hot 100 ranking higher than those on the predecessors' charts alone. For pre-Hot 100 hits, ties are lost, other than as noted above, by the number of charts the songs topped for the total weeks listed. Peak dates reflect the songs first week at No. 1 on any of the aforementioned charts.
