Elvis Presley's Top 20 R&B Billboard Singles

Note: Some songs on this list are followed by a (/). The next song you see listed after this mark, whether within the same entry or in the separate entry that follows, is its flip side. If another song immediately follows the (/) in the same entry, that means that the particular record chart listed both sides of the single together as a unit and the flip side shares the chart position. (This listing method was not consistent through the years.) If you see a (/) and the next song is in a separate entry, it means that the flip side charted independently within the top twenty on the partcular chart. For instance, Don't Be Cruel and Hound Dog are flip sides of the same single, but both were big hits. You'll notice that they are listed together as one unit at number one on the country and R&B charts, but they are listed as two separate number one songs on the pop chart.

Note: Information regarding Elvis' chart success in multiple countries is more complex to research and summarize and, thus, is not included here. These figures are for the U.S., based upon the Billboard pop, country and R&B charts.
