Elv1s: 30 #1 Hits

The King of Rock ‘n’ Roll's evergreen appeal was reasserted with this 2002 rundown of his chart-topping singles. It highlights his dab hand at thumping rockers (“Hound Dog,” “Don’t Be Cruel”) and hushed ballads (“Love Me Tender,” “Are You Lonesome Tonight?”), while the chronological order charts his evolution from the stripped-back strut of 1956’s “Heartbreak Hotel” to the lush emoting of 1969’s “Suspicious Minds.” And as proof of Elvis’ ongoing adaptability, Junkie XL’s remix of “A Little Less Conversation” takes him to the club.
