QUESTION: What was the name of Elvis Presley’s 1st hit record?

ANSWER: Heartbreak Hotel.

NOTES: "Heartbreak Hotel"  was released on vinyl January 27th, 1956 and sold over 300,000 copies in its first three weeks on the market. It quickly went to #1 on Billboard’s pop singles chart for eight weeks and hit #1 on the country chart and #5 on the R&B chart. It became the first Elvis single to sell over one million copies, thus earning Elvis his very first gold record award.

Have a Magnificent Monday at OE!
