"Heartbreak Hotel" is the song that launched Elvis' career into the stratosphere, firmly establishing him as a rock 'n' roll sensation. Long after its release, "Heartbreak Hotel" was inducted into the Grammy Hall of Fame in 1995.
With lyrics like, "I thought I could live without romance / Until you came to me / But now I know that / I will go on loving you eternally," it's no wonder why this song hit No. 1 on the Billboard country music chart.
"Don't Be Cruel" is a staple in Elvis' music catalog. It was awarded five gold records and spent 11 weeks at No. 1 on the Billboard pop singles chart in 1956. In 2002, the song was inducted into the Grammy Hall of Fame.
Elvis' music and swiveling hips were already taking the world by storm, but his performance of "Hound Dog" on the "The Milton Berle Show" reallygot people talking. It caused outrage among parents and censors, but his screaming fans couldn't get enough.
After becoming a rock 'n' roll sensation, Elvis took his charisma to the big screen in the 1956 movie, “Love Me Tender.” His gentle ballad by the same name shot to No. 1 shortly after the movie's release.
In a steady stream of No. 1 hits, "Blue Suede Shoes" was yet another addition. Originally written and recorded by musician Carl Perkins, Elvis' rendition remains the most memorable.
This infectious dance tune topped the Billboard Hot 100 singles chart in 1957, staying there for eight weeks. Years later, Billy Joel recorded a cover of "All Shook Up" for the 1992 rom-com, "Honeymoon in Vegas."
Enter another iconic movie song that went beyond the big screen. Although the movie received mixed reviews from critics, the song was a smash hit: "Jailhouse Rock" went straight to the top of the Billboard charts following the movie's release in 1957, and it remains Elvis' second most-streamed song on Spotify.
"Blue Christmas" is a cut off of Elvis' first Christmas album aptly named "Elvis' Christmas Album." It wasn't released as a single until 1964, six years after the album's release. Though it never hit No. 1, it's the fourth most-streamed Elvis song on Spotify (and a favorite during the holiday season).
At the the first Grammy Awards ceremony in 1959, Elvis scored two nominationsfor "A Big Hunk O' Love": Best Performance by a Top 40 Artist, and Best Rhythm and Blues Performance. The song didn't win — but Elvis eventually took home a Grammy in 1967.
