Elvis’ first RCA single, “Heartbreak Hotel,” was released in 1956 and became the first Elvis single to sell over one million copies, followed by his first album, Elvis Presley, which went to number one on Billboard’s pop album chart.

In 1973 Elvis made television and entertainment history with his Elvis: Aloha from Hawaii via Satellite. It was the first, worldwide live satellite broadcast of a concert and seen in about 40 countries by 1 billion to 1.5 billion people.
