List of Elvis Presley international hit singles
It has been suggested that this article be merged into Elvis Presley singles discography. (Discuss) Proposed since November 2013. |
This is a list of international hit singles by Elvis Presley. The charts from the UK and other countries are explored in detail. How many hit singles an artist has had is an important measure of the artist's success and popular impact, though it is by no means the only measure. Elvis Presley had a worldwide impact on popular music and culture, as shown through his success on pop music charts throughout the world. His international success is even more remarkable considering that except for three 1957 Canadian concerts, Elvis did not perform outside of the United States.
While most of the international singles are the same as those that were released in the US, there are some singles that were international hits that were not hits in the US, such as “Party” and “Wooden Heart”.

The numbers below represent the highest position for a song on each respective chart. 45 rpm singles were normally released with one song on each side, The "A-side" was generally considered to be the primary side, while the "B-side" or "flip-side" was considered secondary. Elvis frequently had both sides become hits and appear on the charts. The sides and their chart positions are distinguished by a " / ", A-side / B-side. Extended Plays (EP) usually had two songs per side and would sometimes make the singles chart. The numbers in parentheses are the number of weeks that a song remained at number 1.
1956-1958
Some countries did not develop recognized, national charts until the 1960s.

2000-present
Elvis experiences a resurgence in popularity after the release of “Elv1s 30 Number 1 Hits” CD and the "A Little Less Conversation" remix in 2002, the 25th anniversary of his death. In anticipation of the expiration of the European copyrights on Elvis’ early recordings, BMG re-releases many of Elvis’ singles on CD. Billboard begins publishing a European Hot 100 singles chart (EUR).[citation needed]
