Brief Histtory :
The Number One Hits is a 1987 US 18-track digitally remastered compilation LP, complete with fold out poster. Number One Hits contains 18 #1 records from the charts of Billboard, who somehow didn't rank "Crying in the Chapel," "In the Ghetto," "Burning Love," and "Way Down" as chart-toppers, although other national surveys did. In fact, according to RCA, every copy of "Way Down" was sold out within days after Presley's death, not just here but all over the planet, and somehow, amazingly, it didn't even make the magazine's Top Ten!
