Elvis Presley's Australian Chart Album's 1965-2018
Elvis Presley on the Australian album charts from January 1965 to 2018.
The Go-Set charts were Australia's first national singles and albums charts published from 2 February 1966 until 24 August 1974. However until the early 1970s the album charts were a top 5 only. Succeeding Go-Set, the Kent Music Report began issuing the national top 100 charts in Australia from May 1974. This was a top 100 single and album chart.
In April 1983, the Australian Recording Industry Association (ARIA) commenced by licensing the Kent Music Report and began compiling its own charts in-house from the week ending 26 June 1988.
Elvis Presley: Australian Singles Chart 1956-2006
The Gold and Platinum awards prior to 1988 indicated are the result of research using various sources, EPE, BMG AARM. This is an incomplete list, it is not possible to prove all certifications. Due to RCA no longer being in Business. Post 1988 ARIA was established and we have accurate awards from this point onwards.
There were no reliable chart sources prior to 1965 for albums so we unfortunately don't have data on Elvis' golden years, however presented to you here is the most concise chart data possible. * More details below.
