What happens when I die???

a miracle

wow, that's a great pic of elvis. i definitely think Elvis' death and subsequent years after are bigger. if the internet had been around back then, it would have brought the internet DOWN, not just threatened to do so.

but then Elvis was a much bigger star

more money

more gold records

more number one hits

much better reputation


Attendance at the annual festival centered in and around his Graceland estate in Memphis, Tenn., reached a peak in 1997. The 20th anniversary of Presley's death saw an estimated 70,000 people take part in Elvis lectures, memorabilia auctions, special movie screenings, music listening parties, and a reverent nighttime candlelight vigil at his grave site, which is adjacent to his former mansion.

Graceland, the home he purchased in 1957 for $100,000, welcomes over 600,000 visitors a year, making it the second most visited private residence behind only the White House. Graceland easily outdraws the historic homes of Abraham Lincoln, Thomas Jefferson, and Martin Luther King Jr.




Tabulating record sales is a tricky business, but according to the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA), the organization entrusted with that job in the United States, nobody has come close to unseating Presley as the top-selling artist of all time.

BMG/RCA, Presley's record company since 1955, and the RIAA have been trying to total his foreign record sales for years. But finding exact sales figures in other countries has been difficult. After just scratching the surface of their research in 1992, they awarded the Presley estate a plaque retroactively recognizing that of his 1 billion record units sold to date, over 400 million were bought outside of the U.S.
