Elvis Presley holds the record for the most gold, platinum and multiplatinum albums and singles. He has a combined total of 257 certifications in the United States alone. He is way ahead of the second place Beatles who have a combined total of 148.
Moreover in the four months after his death, an estimated 200 million Elvis records were sold all formats. This record sales phenomena has never been duplicated by any other artist in the history of popular music. This led to the 1982 Washington Post story which divulged that Presley had become the only artist to have sold over a billion records worlwide.
