Artist Spotlight: Elvis Presley

Depending on how you count Don't Be Cruel/Hound Dog, Elvis had 17 or 18 #1 hits.  Of these we included: 5. Hound Dog (1956), 15. Don't Be Cruel (1956), 37. Jailhouse Rock (1957), 87. Suspicious Minds (1969) and 96. All Shook Up (1957). This leaves:

1. Heartbreak Hotel (1956)
2. I Want You, I Need You, I Love You (1956)
3. Love Me Tender (1956)
4. Too Much (1957)
5. Let Me Be Your Teddy Bear (1957)
6. Don't (1958)
7. Hard Headed Woman (1958)
8. A Big Hunk O' Love (1959)
9. Stuck On You (1960)
10. It's Now or Never (1960)
11. Are You Lonesome To-night? (1960)
12. Surrender (1961)
13. Good Luck Charm (1962)

I think Elvis is pretty well-covered.  Teddy Bear and It's Now or Never seem like the biggest omissions and they're only just OK, not super awesome.

Well.....on a percentage basis you've got the King way underrepresented vis a vis a lot of less talented artists. That said, I'd say you've been over generous to the latter category, and the only whiff I see here is that Heartbreak Hotel probably deserves to make it.

I'm still looking for Elvis to show up again. Love Me Tender has to be here somewhere. How is it not in this list yet?
