Elvis Presley: The Australian Singles Chart : 1956-2006 Elvis has an accumulated total of 61 weeks at No.1 and has had 48 Top 10 singles (With double A sides taking this number over 50) from his 120 Top 100 chart entries on the Australian Singles Charts.

As of 2006 he has spent 1,771 weeks in total on charts.

Elvis is ranked number one as the 'Solo Male Artist with the Most No.1s' (1956 to 2009), having achieved fourteen No.1 singles here in Australia. He also managed an incredible twenty-year streak of placing hits on the Australian charts from 1956 to 1975. Elvis holds the record in Australia for 'The Biggest Gap Between First and Last No.1's', a period of 43 years, 1 month and 1 week (16-May-1959, A Fool Such As I and 24-June-2002 for A Little Less Conversation ). A Little Less Conversation also holds the record for 'The Longest climb to No.1', as it first charted in November 1968, reaching No.64, but then 33 years and 7 months later it finally debuted at the No.1 spot.
